Inside the giant jungle cavern

"Surrounded by jungle and used in the Vietnam war as a hideout from American bombardments, it is so large that it could hold a block of 40-storey skyscrapers. Its entrance was only rediscovered last year.
The photograph was taken by a British expedition returning to the rugged Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park near the border with Laos.
The cave, lit from above through a skylight, is one of a network of some 150 connected caverns, many still not surveyed, in the Annamite mountains."

Dog gets head stuck in wall

"The dog, called Rebel, somehow managed to fit his head through the 18-inch block wall in Desert Hot Springs, California, US.
The dog whimpered and barked until a friend of the owner heard him and called the County Animal Services.
The officers managed to gently pull the dog's head back through the wall after 30 minutes of working on him.
The dog made it clear to officers when he was uncomfortable and would stiffen his hind legs to assist as they pulled him out, James Huffman of Riverside County Animal Services said.
Rebel made a full escape from the wall and recovery from the ordeal."

Celebrate the New Year with Intoxicated Animals

"When someone starts getting a little too sloshed at a New Year's Eve party, you can tell them to stop acting like an animal, literally. Many animals seem to enjoy getting a good buzz on just as much as humans.

In fact, some animals may have introduced humans to a number of drugs, including psychedelic mushrooms, alcohol, caffeine, and cocaine.

Even the legend behind Santa's flying reindeer may have its roots in a psychedelic experience.

Reindeer are known to feed on the fly agaric mushroom (Amanita muscaria), then stumble about, twitching and making strange noises. The mushrooms contain the hallucinogen muscimol.

It is unknown whether the reindeer also enjoy listening to eight hours of Grateful Dead recordings while playing with glow-in-the-dark objects."

Croatian boxing coach 'tortures' Colin Farrell

"Hollywood star Colin Farrell has claimed he had no difficulties giving up drinking.

The hot-tempered Irishman told Austrian Live magazine: "To stop boozing was the best decision I ever made in my whole life. I didn’t lose any friends by it because I haven’t got any difficulties watching my mates getting drunk when going out with them."

He added: "I now tend to leave at one instead of four in the morning – not that they would notice."

The "Phone Booth" star explained he also freed himself from a three packs a day smoking addiction.

Speaking about his recently gained muscle mass, Farrell said: "I got this hairy Croatian boxing coach who tortures me everyday as I need to heavy muscled for a new movie. He kills me with his drill."
