A Curious Wild Cheetah Jumps Into a Vehicle Surprising the Tourist Waiting Inside
https://laughingsquid.com/a-curious...ehicle-surprising-the-tourist-waiting-inside/
While on safari at the Masai Mara National Park, an unsuspecting tourist got the surprise of his life when a curious wild cheetah jumped into the same vehicle where he was waiting inside. Luckily, the tourist remained calm and the big cat carried on without incident.

Justin Trudeau Wants a Rematch with Matthew Perry: 'Who Hasn't Wanted to Punch Chandler?'
http://www.msn.com/en-us/entertainm...handler/ar-BBz9ZqX?li=BBmkt5R&ocid=spartandhp
Watch out Matthew Perry - Justin Trudeau is ready to fight!
The Canadian prime minister tweeted on Saturday morning that he's ready for a rematch with the Friends star, who beat him up once when they attended elementary school at Rockcliffe Park Public School in Ottawa.
I've been giving it some thought, and you know what, who hasn't wanted to punch Chandler? Trudeau, 45, wrote. How about a rematch @MatthewPerry?
Perry, who is half-Canadian, recounted their original fight during a visit to Jimmy Kimmel Liveon March 15.
Although the 47-year-old actor was in fifth grade at the time - and a few years ahead of Trudeau - he was envious of the boy.
My friend Chris Murray, who was also in the fifth grade in Canada, reminded me that we actually beat up Justin Trudeau, he told Kimmel, 49. We both beat him up. I think he was excelling in a sport that we weren't so it was pure jealousy.
Trudeau's father, Pierre Trudeau, was then-prime minister - but Perry insisted that wasn't the reason he attacked him.
I think he was the only kid in school that we could beat up, he said, adding, You know, I'm not bragging about this, this is terrible. I was a stupid kid, I didn't want to beat him up. In fact, I think at one point I tried to turn it into love play.
Trudeau assumed office in November 2015. Looking back on it, Perry credits his alleged knockdown or the prime minister's success.
I think it was rather instrumental in him ... going to such great heights and becoming the prime minister, Perry told Kimmel of the alleged knockdown. I think he said, 'I'm gonna rise above this and I'm gonna become prime minister.'

Jameson Distillers Find a 230 Year Old Barrel of Whiskey In the Foundation of the Bow Street Facility
https://laughingsquid.com/jameson-d...in-the-foundation-of-the-bow-street-facility/
On April 1, 2017, the makers of Jameson Whiskey announced that while undergoing renovations to their Bow Street Facility in Dublin, Ireland they found a 230 year old barrel of Irish whiskey buried in the foundation of the building. The staff supposed that this was a very precious batch for it to have been hidden so well by the founder John Jameson, but upon pouring the contents, they discovered that angels had ?taken more than their fair share? and left behind only a single glass of this precious whiskey.

New Spider-Like, Tree-Climbing Crab Species Found
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2017/04/new-crab-species-india-weird-wild-animals/
A striking new species of crab has been found living in tree-holes high above the ground. The animal, which fits in the palm of a human hand, has a deep bluish black body that stands out against the tree bark that it prowls for worms and seeds to eat.
Scientists discovered the crab?named Kani maranjandu?in the lush forests of the Western Ghats in south India. It?s an entirely new genus and species named after the Kani, the tribal community that noticed the crabs, and maranjandu, the local colloquial term for tree crab.
The forest-dwelling Kani first reported sightings of ?long-legged crabs? on trees in 2014. A. Biju Kumar, a professor of aquatic biology at the University of Kerala, was at that time leading a project to survey the Western Ghats of Kerala for freshwater crabs. After months of tracking the tree crabs with the help of the tribesmen, Kumar and his student Smrithy Raj recently managed to catch a couple of these elusive crabs.
In the Journal of Crustacean Biology, the scientists describe Kani maranjandu as having a distinct hard outer shell or carapace that is broad, swollen, and convex. Most conspicuously, the legs are extremely long, with slender, curved, sharp ends that help them get a good grip on the tree, making them effective climbers.
The crabs live in water-filled hollows of tall evergreen and deciduous trees. The Kani tribesmen detect their presence by looking for air bubbles coming out of the hollows. Outside the hollows, the crabs move rapidly on tree trunks, using their pincer-bearing thick front legs to propel themselves.
The crabs are shy creatures, retreating deep inside the hollows when approached. The younger ones take shelter in the canopy of the trees, up to about 30 feet. That?s unusual for crabs, which don?t normally climb more than a few feet into trees.
?This lifestyle of tree living indicates that, since they cannot disperse widely through the sea, their range tends to be limited to a very narrow area,? says Tohru Naruse, an expert on crab biodiversity at Japan?s University of the Ryukyus. He not involved in the discovery.
This geographical restriction could mean that any impact on their habitat could put the species at greater risk.
Biju Kumar also stresses the importance of the crab?s habitat: the large trees and forest ecosystem of the Western Ghats. The crabs? existence hinges on rainwater collected in tree hollows, and the crabs have been observed to change trees if the hollows dry up. The broad, swollen carapace is an adaptation that helps them hold water in their gill chambers.
?It also suggests that the tree-climbing behavior and morphology of Kani maranjandu, and possibly other related, undiscovered species, has evolved where they are distributed,? adds Naruse.
For Peter K.L. Ng, a National University of Singapore biologist who helped classify Kani maranjandu, the species? most alluring feature is how it illustrates crab evolution. ?The exciting thing for me is that these crabs, regardless of where they have been found, and how they are related (or unrelated) to each other, they have nevertheless evolved to use specialized habitats to enhance their survival?in this case, tree-holes and climbing,? he says.

Scott Adkins: 17 years ago I worked with 成龍 Jackie Chan on The Accidental Spy. I ran on from the left and he punched my lights out and that was it - humble beginnings. Last night at the Jackie Chan Action Awards in Shanghai I won best fight sequence and best stunt actor. Dreams come true with hard work and dedication. Feeling very blessed. #stayready SA

Larry David and Bernie Sanders Are Apparently Related
http://www.msn.com/en-us/entertainm...-are-apparently-related/ar-AAoUAbg?li=BBmkt5R
At a Democratic candidates forum in November 2015, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, raised the most urgent question in American politics: Is he really Larry David?
The answer, most likely, is no. But the former presidential candidate and the "Curb Your Enthusiasm" star are apparently distantly related.
Sanders is a "third cousin or something," David told reporters at a Television Critics Association event on Wednesday. The comedian, who impersonated the senator on "Saturday Night Live" during the 2016 election, said he learned about the genealogical connection while filming an upcoming episode of the PBS series "Finding Your Roots."
"I was very happy about that," David said, according to Variety. "I thought there must have been some connection."
David, who scored an Emmy nomination for the spot-on impression of his fellow Brooklyn native on "SNL," explained how he came to play the part.
"This Bernie Sanders thing," David told reporters, according to Variety. "During the first debate between Bernie and Hillary, ["SNL" creator] Lorne Michaels got emails and calls during the debate, saying that I should be doing Bernie Sanders."
That's when Hollywood agent Ari Emanuel, the inspiration for Jeremy Piven's character on "Entourage," stepped in to help close the deal.
"Ari Emanuel called me up and said, 'What did you think?'' And every time I watched Bernie Sanders, I would repeat everything that he said, because I know that I can talk like that. So I started talking to Ari, the agent, I started talking to him like Bernie."
The rest is television history.
Sanders even appeared with David in a February 2016 sketch. The "Seinfeld" creator played an aristocratic gentleman on a sinking ship who debates the merits of democratic socialism with the senator's rumpled commoner.
"Curb Your Enthusiasm," David's semi-autobiographical sitcom, returns to HBO in October.
Sanders did not immediately respond to news reports about his expanded family tree.
