To which she stops doing her tasks, looks at him over the top of her glasses and says, 'Bugge roff, ye'll no bring it back!'

Dumb Kid

A young boy enters a barbers shop and the barber whispers to his customer, “This is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch while I prove it to you.”
The barber puts a dollar bill in one hand and two quarters in the other, then calls the boy over and asks, “Which do you want, son?”
The boy takes the quarters and leaves.
“What did I tell you?” said the barber. “That kid never learns!”
Later, when the customer leaves, he sees the same young boy coming out of the ice cream store. “Hey, son! May I ask you a question? Why did you take the quarters instead of the dollar bill?”
The boy licked his cone and replied, “Because the day I take the dollar, the game is over!”

There are glass igloos for rent in Finland where you can sleep under the
Northern Lights!

 

This is Glaucus atlanticus, a sea slug found in tropical and temperate waters throughout
the world. This photograph makes the rounds on Facebook every few months simply
because it's so strangely beautiful.

Zakynthos Island, Greece. The water is so clear, it looks like the boat is floating
in the air.


This horse breed, Akhal-Teke from Turkmenistan was announced the most
beautiful horse in the world.

Unbelievable Camouflage by Satanic leaf-tailed gecko. The satanic leaf-tailed gecko from Madagascar
is a master of disguise, but that's not the only way it avoids an attack from predators. It flattens its body
against the leaves to reduce its shadow, and opens its jaws
wide to show an intimidating, bright red mouth. Like many other lizards, it can also shed
its own tail to distract a predator.

This is how Giraffes drink water
 

During the mating season, the female sits on a nesting ring while the males searches the
entire beach for the pebbles looking for the smoothest one to present to their chosen
female. Once a pebble has been selected, the male penguins presents the pebble as
a token of love to the chosen female and if she takes the pebble and places it on her
nest then she has accepted that penguin as her mate.

The incredible story of one woman's loyalty to her horse - she spent three hours holding its head
above the tide after it got stuck in the mud on a beach in Australia. A horse gets stuck
up to his neck in mud on a beach as the tide rises. His owner, Nicole Graham, who was enjoying an
afternoon ride, stayed with him as rescuers struggled for three hours to pull
him out. With moments to spare, the 500kg horse, named Astro, was freed with the help of
a tractor and harness at Avalon Beach in Geelong , Victoria , Australia .


It's an amazing natural sight at Abraham lake with the Frozen bubbles under the ice.

Zanjeer, The Golden Labrador Who Saved Thousands Of Lives.In March 1993,
a series of 12 bombs went off across Mumbai , India . The serial blasts left 257
dead and 713 injured. But in the aftermath, an unlikely hero emerged. According to
Reuters, a golden Labrador named Zanjeer worked with the bomb squad and saved
thousands of lives by detecting "more than 3,329 kgs of the explosive RDX, 600 detonators, 249
hand grenades and 6406 rounds of live ammunition."
He helped avert three more bombs in the days following the blasts. The dog died
of bone cancer in 2000. He was eight years old. In the photo, a senior police officer
lays a wreath of flowers on Zanjeer as he was buried with full police honors at a
widely-attended ceremony.
