Huh?? Before releasing 10,000 pigeons for 2014 National Day celebrations in Beijing, Chinese officials examined the butts of every bird in case one of them was carrying a bomb. Spanish artist Moon Ribas feels every earthquake on earth in real time thanks to a seismic sensor implanted under her skin! For her wake in San Juan, Puerto Rico, the body of 80-year-old Georgina Chervony Lioren was clothed in her wedding dress from her second marriage and seated in her favorite rocking chair.
