'New species' of ancient human found

A new species of ancient human has been unearthed in the Afar region of Ethiopia, scientists report.

Researchers discovered jaw bones and teeth, which date to between 3.3m and 3.5m years old. It means this new hominin was alive at the same time as several other early human species, suggesting our family tree is more complicated than was thought.

 The study is published in the journal Nature.

The new species has been called Australopithecus deyiremeda, which means "close relative" in the language spoken by the Afar people.

A resident of Goulburn, Australia woke one morning to discover his home and field were covered in a ghostly sheet of cobwebs, with what appeared to be scores baby arachnids falling from the sky.

Residents complained that they couldn't go outside without stepping on the webs, or getting spiders in their hair. Which is a big fat NOPE.

It turns out the freakish "spider rain" wasn't a sign of the apocalypse, but rather a type of hitchhiking invented by Mother Nature.

AN IRISH GHOST STORY

This story is reported to have happened a while ago in Dublin, and, even though it sounds like an Alfred Hitchcock tale, it's said to be true!!!!!

John Bradford, a Dublin University student, was on the side of the road hitchhiking on a very dark night and in the midst of a big storm. The night was rolling on and no car went by.
 
The storm was so strong he could hardly see a few feet ahead of him.

Suddenly, he saw a car coming slowly towards him, which stopped as it reached him.

John, desperate for shelter and without thinking about it, got into the car and closed the door ... only to realize that there was nobody behind the wheel and the engine wasn't on.

The car started moving slowly.

John looked at the road ahead and saw a curve approaching.
 
Scared, he started to pray, begging for his life. Then, just before the car hit the curve, a hand appeared out of nowhere through the window and turned the wheel, but never touched or harmed him. John was paralyzed with terror.
 
Shortly thereafter John saw the lights of a pub appear down the road, so, gathering strength, he jumped out of the car and ran to it.

Wet and out of breath, he rushed inside and started telling everybody about the horrible experience he had just had.

A silence enveloped the pub when everybody realized he was crying and....wasn't drunk.
 
Suddenly, the door opened, and two other men walked in from the dark and stormy night. They, like John, were also soaked and out of breath.

Looking around, and seeing John Bradford sobbing at the bar, one said to the other.... ..........
