Google Records All Conversation You Make Around Your Phone. Learn How To Hear And Delete Them

Google’s voice search function doesn’t just turn on when you ask it to. Rather, it records almost everything. 

The outlet reports that Google began doing this in June of 2015.

Sounds creepy yet? Well, it gets even worse. You see, you can listen to the recordings Google has stored and associated with your name simply by visiting this webpage the company set up.

The feature works as a way of letting people search with their voice, and storing those recordings presumably lets Google improve its language recognition tools as well as the results that it gives to people.
But it also comes with an easy way of listening to and deleting all of the information that it collects. That’s done through a special page that brings together the information that Google has on you.

How to delete the recordings

Luckily, if you’re not too happy about Google having potentially hours of your voice in its database, you can delete those files.
Beside each file’s title you’ll see a checkbox.

Simply check those boxes and click 'delete'.

How to Stop Google from Recording You Again

Now, as The Independent points out, stopping Google from recording you does result in some limited functionality if you’re using an Android phone or the company’s search.

However, you may be someone whose concern for privacy is much greater than finding what you’re looking for easily. If so, begin by never using Google’s voice search functions again. Follow up by disabling Google’s voice search.

Follow these steps for Android users:

1. Navigate to Settings
2. Tap the General tab
3. Under “Personal” find “Language and Input”
4. Find “Google voice typing” and tap the Settings button
5. Tap “Ok Google” Detection
6. “Under the”From the Google app” option, move the slider to the left

Chile Desert Could Hold The Key To Living On Mars

Scientists in Chile believe that the key to discovering life on Mars could lie in the expansive Atacama, the world’s most arid region and with a climate similar to that of the red planet.

Last year, US scientists analysing data from a NASA spacecraft reported that water flows during the summer months on Mars, raising the possibility that the planet long thought to be arid could support life today.

But water or not, Chilean astro-biologist Armando Azua told Reuters that the survival of life in the Atacama shows that the existence of water on Mars is not necessarily a prerequisite for life since scientists have found life forms such as fungus, cells and microorganisms in the Atacama.

“Until recently, we believed that in areas of Mars where there was evidence of water, we would find or maximize our chances of finding life. What we are saying here is that even in those areas where we had dismissed the possibility of something being able to survive because the areas were apparently too dry, we have found places just as dry as Mars (here) on Earth and yet they are colonised by a variety of different microorganisms. 

So we went back in search of life forms and said, you know what? There are areas where it previously looked like there was no chance of finding life forms because it was too dry, and we are demonstrating the opposite: that even when it is just as dry (as the Martian desert), life has been able to adapt to it,” said Azua.

If Azua’s theory is proven correct, it could have a significant impact on the search for life in Mars and beyond.

“If we can demonstrate that in the Atacama desert, with the preliminary evidence that we have, that life is not only able to tolerate extreme dryness but can keep on functioning in this dry state, then that would open tremendously the spectrum of possibilities of finding life not just in Mars but in other areas of the universe,” he said.

The prospect of limited water on Mars and the existence of life forms has implications for future human missions to Mars.

NASA’s goal is to land US astronauts on Mars in the mid-2030s.

Mark Zukerberg Stole Snapchat's Feature. He's Not Petty, He's Savage!

On Friday, February 24, 2017, WhatsApp rolled out a new feature which blatantly rips off SnapChat's stories feature.

This is the latest assault from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg on SnapChat. The tech maven has been on a war path with the new social media app after it turned down its offer to buy it.

SnapChat turning down his offer must have hurt like hell. Instagram and WhatsApp couldn't say no to the billions of dollars that Zuckerberg put on the table. SnapChat had the guts to say no and preferred to create its own path.

Since he was shut down by SnapChat, Mark Zuckerberg has added the SnapChat feature on Instagram and now WhatsApp with no sense of remorse. His critics have called him petty but Zuckerberg is a cold stone business man.

"If they turn you down, take them out of business." This is what Mark Zuckerberg is running with and he is winning. In its first 25 weeks, Instagram Stories had 150 million daily users. Bear in mind SnapChat did not hit this number until June 2016.

In January 2017, Tech Crunch reported that SnapChat had experienced a notable decline in stories since Instagram Stories launched. Yeah, Mack Zuckerberg is a savage. If you refuse to join his empire, then you are a threat and he has to take you out.

In the world of business, you cannot afford not to be a savage and cold. If you think business is like a season of Sesame Street, then you will be out of business fast.

Claudio Ranieri is a nice guy that's why he was fired. If he is cold hearted he would have bought top quality football players during the summer transfer window. Unfortunately, he relied on the same over-achievers that won him the league last season.

Claudio Ranieri was sacked after Leicester City failed to win any of their last nine matches in all competitions

Mark Zuckerberg is far from finished. He plans on integrating radio, TV and job seeking features on Facebook pretty soon. Business is not a place for babies. Zuckerberg is the first emperor of the social media tech business and he is now crushing kingdoms that won't pay tributes to him.

Forget Pizzerias, This Is The Recipe For Making A Homemade Pizza.

What to do when your friends bump into your home for a visit? Make pizza, of course! Well, not of course, actually. I didn’t think of it until we exhausted Sorry, playing cards or perhaps video game. LOL

But then, on a different note, you will, if you can. Perhaps not for their sake, but for the sake of proving to your friends how good you can be in the kitchen. Well, this post is here to remedy the second phrase, '...if you can'.

ENJOY and SHARE!

• Prep time: 2 hours
• Cook time: 30 minutes
• Yield: Makes 2 10-12-inch pizzas

Pizza dough is a yeasted dough which requires active dry yeast. Make sure the check the expiration date on the yeast package.

You can use all purpose flour instead of the bread flour that is called for in the recipe, but bread flour is higher in gluten than all-purpose flour and will make a crispier crust for your pizza.

Ingredients

Pizza Dough: Makes enough dough for two 10-12 inch pizzas

• 1 1/2 cups warm water (105°F-115°F)
• 1 package (2 1/4 teaspoons) of active dry yeast
• 3 1/2 cups bread flour
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar

Pizza Ingredients

• Olive oil
• Cornmeal (to help slide the pizza onto the pizza stone)

• Tomato sauce (smooth, or puréed)
• Mozzarella cheese, grated
• Parmesan cheese, grated
• Feta cheese, crumbled
• Mushrooms, thinly sliced
• Bell peppers, stems and seeds removed, thinly sliced
• Italian sausage, cooked ahead and crumbled
• Chopped fresh basil
• Pesto
• Pepperoni, thinly sliced
• Onions, thinly sliced
• Ham, thinly sliced

Special equipment needed

• A pizza stone, highly recommended if you want crispy pizza crust
• A pizza peel or a flat baking sheet
• A pizza wheel for cutting the pizza, not required, but easier to deal with than a knife

Method

Making the Pizza Dough

1 Proof the yeast: Place the warm water in the large bowl of a heavy duty stand mixer. Sprinkle the yeast over the warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes until the yeast is dissolved.

-After 5 minutes stir if the yeast hasn't dissolved completely. The yeast should begin to foam, which indicates that it is still active and alive.

2 Make and knead the pizza dough: Using the mixing paddle attachment, mix in the flour, salt, sugar, and olive oil on low speed for a minute. Then replace the mixing paddle with the dough hook attachment.

-Knead the pizza dough on low to medium speed using the dough hook until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.

Note: If you don't have a mixer, you can mix the ingredients together and knead them by hand.
If the dough seems a little too wet, sprinkle it with a little more flour.

3 Put dough in warm place to rise: Spread a thin layer of olive oil over the inside of a large bowl. Place the pizza dough in the bowl and turn it around so that it gets coated with the oil.

-Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let sit in a warm place (75-85°F or 21-24°C) until it doubles in size, at least 1 to 1¹៸₂ hours.

-You can let it sit for several hours if you want. The longer rise will improve the flavor of the pizza crust.
If you don't have a warm spot in the house you can heat the oven to 150°F or 65.5°C, and then turn off the oven.

-Let the oven cool till it is just a little warm, then place the bowl of dough in this warmed oven to rise.
At this point, if you want to make ahead, you can freeze the dough in an airtight container for up to two weeks.

Preparing the Pizzas

1 Preheat pizza stone: Place a pizza stone on a rack in the lower third of your oven. Preheat the oven to 450°F for at least 30 minutes, preferably an hour.

2 Punch down dough, divide into two balls: Remove the plastic cover from the dough and punch the dough down so it deflates a bit. Divide the dough in half.

-Form two round balls of dough. Place each in its own bowl, cover with plastic and let sit for 10 minutes.

3 Prep toppings: Prepare your desired toppings. Note that you are not going to want to load up each pizza with a lot of toppings as the crust will end up not crisp that way.

-About a third a cup each of tomato sauce and cheese would be sufficient for one pizza. One to two mushrooms thinly sliced will cover a pizza.

4 Flatten dough ball, and stretch out into a round: Working one ball of dough at a time, take one ball of dough and flatten it with your hands on a slightly floured work surface.

-Starting at the center and working outwards, use your fingertips to press the dough to 1/2-inch thick. Turn and stretch the dough until it will not stretch further.

-Let the dough relax 5 minutes and then continue to stretch it until it reaches the desired diameter - 10 to 12 inches.

-Use your palm to flatten the edge of the dough where it is thicker. You can pinch the very edges if you want to form a lip.

5 Brush dough top with olive oil: Brush the top of the dough with olive oil (to prevent it from getting soggy from the toppings). Use your finger tips to press down and make dents along the surface of the dough to prevent bubbling. Let rest another 5 minutes.

-Repeat with the second ball of dough.

6 Sprinkle pizza peel with corn meal, put flattened dough on top: Lightly sprinkle your pizza peel (or flat baking sheet) with corn meal. (The corn meal will act as little ball bearings to help move the pizza from the pizza peel into the oven.)

-Transfer one prepared flattened dough to the pizza peel.

-If the dough has lost its shape in the transfer, lightly shape it to the desired dimensions.

7 Spread with tomato sauce and sprinkle with toppings: Spoon on the tomato sauce, sprinkle with cheese, and place your desired toppings on the pizza.

8 Sprinkle cornmeal on pizza stone, slide pizza onto pizza stone in oven: Sprinkle some cornmeal on the baking stone in the oven (watch your hands, the oven is hot!). Gently shake the peel to see if the dough will easily slide, if not, gently lift up the edges of the pizza and add a bit more cornmeal.

-Slide the pizza off of the peel and on to the baking stone in the oven.

9 Bake pizza: Bake pizza one at a time until the crust is browned and the cheese is golden, about 10-15 minutes. If you want, toward the end of the cooking time you can sprinkle on a little more cheese.

Time Magazine Named Donald Trump 'Person of the Year'. Here’s Why!

In a video set to a solemn soundtrack, Time introduced its Person of the Year 2016, President Donald Trump, as “President of the Divided States of America.

Trump was an unavoidable choice for Time, whose Editor in Chief, Nancy Gibbs, described the pick as: “The individual who has had the most influence on events, for better or for worse.”
It would be “hard to argue that anyone had had more influence than Donald Trump over the events of this year,” Gibbs added.
Donald Trump has described what he started as a movement, and Time magazine added in its article that “Trump’s victory represents a long-overdue rebuke to an entrenched and arrogant governing class,” before returning to pointing out all the criticisms of the United States’ new President.

Trump is seen as a controversial figure. Supporters view him as a hero who will make good on his promise to “Make America Great Again,” while detractors have lavished heated criticism on him and his policy proposals, including claims that he is “literally Hitler.”

The New York native’s victory was unexpected, given heavy coverage of his faults in the mainstream media as well as his political inexperience. Major polls underestimated Trump’s popularity in predicting a decisive victory for his opponent Hillary Clinton, 


Despite the worries of a large portion of the electorate, Trump’s actions since he won the election on Nov. 8 have generated some quick returns. US stock markets after the election reached a historic high, and Trump’s intervention with US air conditioner maker Carrier kept around 1000 jobs in the US. Just recently, President Trump announced that Softbank of Japan is investing 50 billion dollars in the US economy.

President Trump took office on January 20th, but in Time’s video interview he asks that people start judging him from the day he won the election. He says this is because of the rise in the stock market and business agreements the author of “The Art of the Deal” is already striking.

5 Common But Notable Things Men Do When They're In Love.

People nowadays tend to build up grand expectations as to what a man’s love should look like. That means our genuine attempts at expressing affection often go unappreciated – or worse, unnoticed.

Some women go extra mile to undermine a man's effort to make sure she's happy...

Well, Here are best 5 ways the average man lets his woman know he loves her.

ENJOY and SHARE!

1.  He shows respect

This is the foundation for everything that follows. If a man does not respect the woman he’s with – if he sees her as little more than an object to fulfill his fantasies or make him feel wanted – he doesn’t love her. He may lust after her – but not love her.

When a man truly adores his partner, they are equals in his eyes. He talks to her not as someone who should be following orders or bending to his will and values but as someone with valid ideas, viewpoints and feelings.

2. He remembers important things

When a man’s in love, key things about his partner never escape his memory. He remembers what sort of drinks or coffee she likes and what her favorite song is. Of course, he remembers her birthday and their anniversary.

Why wouldn’t he? Love is one of the most obsessive natural human behaviors. This is actually healthy – as long as the love is reciprocal, that is.

3. He fights for what he wants...

By the time a man is ready to settle down in love, he will have had roughly six hookups. Seriously, people have studied this.

Those 6 women will leave his life relatively quickly. Truth is, he probably didn’t fight very hard to keep them around. He probably didn’t think too deeply about making it through rough patches in those ‘relationships’ or working to fix his mistakes.

The only woman a man will do things like that for is the one he loves. He knows true love is not easily replaceable. He knows that if he lets the love of his life walk away, he may never find a woman like her again. So he fights.

4. He tries to make himself a better person for her sake

Love can make even the sloppiest of guys attempt to get their act together. It’s not even so much that he wants to flatter his partner with a false impression. He just holds them in such high regard that he won’t subject them to anything but his best possible self.

In other words, when a man is in love he genuinely wants to become a better person. He knows his partner deserves that much.

5. He's honest

There’s no shortage of men out there who can put on a really convincing mask. They’ll say all the right things to make themselves appear like the ‘perfect man.’

But when a man truly loves a woman, that’s not even an option. He’s not going to just ‘play along’ on dates with the intention of getting in her pants. He’ll stand by his values, even if she tugs him in the opposite direction.

Why? Because he knows the value of honesty in a relationship. He’s not going to mislead his partner, only to disappoint her down the road. He loves her, so he’s honest and upfront.

Fellow men, if you feel like you’ve got reason to be anything but honest and upfront with a serious partner, you’re probably in the wrong relationship.

See The Remarkable Difference Between A Car Crash Test 20 Years Ago VS One Today

As dozens of automotive companies are racing to roll out driverless vehicles by 2020, it's important to remember how far automotive technology has come in just 20 years.

Crash testers Euro NCAP have released video footage highlighting the improvements to car safety over the past 20 years by comparing the crash tests of two vehicles side-by-side.

One is a 2017 model of a Honda Jazz, while the other is a Rover 100 dating back to 1997, when crash tests were first introduced by the Euro New Car Assessment Programme (NCAP).

 
In each video the cars are travelling at the same speed — 40 miles per hour — when they collide, but the results are dramatically different.


While the 2017 Honda Jazz's crash resulted in a smashed windscreen and severely damaged bonnet, the Rover 100 was almost completely destroyed.

Unlike the Honda, the Rover also had no airbags to protect the crash test dummies sitting in its passenger seats.
The Rover 100, which was taken off the market after scoring a one-star safety rating when it was tested 20 years ago, suffered far more damage than the latest Honda model.

Before the Euro NCAP was introduced, around 123,000 were killed in car accidents in the Europe alone. Today, that number is down to 8,500.

MORE than 78,000 lives (1) have been saved since Euro NCAP’s tough crash safety tests were launched 20 years ago this week. Today, Euro NCAP reveals it has published over 630 safety ratings, crash-tested some 1,800 cars and collectively spent over 160 million Euro (2) to make cars safer.

Stop These 8 Habbits, They Damage Your Kidneys!

The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs, each about the size of a fist, located just below the rib cage on each side of the spine. Every single day, the kidneys filter about 120-150 quarts of urine, waste and excess fluid to prevent the buildup of waste in the body.

The kidneys keep electrolyte levels stable and produce hormones that help regulate blood pressure, make red blood cells and keep bones strong.

If the kidneys sound pretty important, that’s because they are. Healthy kidneys are vital to keeping everything in the body running smoothly. Damage to the kidneys can often go unnoticed, so it’s important to take preventative measures to ensure kidney health.

Here’s a list of ten common habits that you might not realize are putting a lot of pressure on your kidneys and may lead to serious kidney damage over time.

ENJOY and SHARE!

1. Not drinking enough water

One of the important functions of the kidneys is to filter blood and get rid of toxins and waste materials that can harm the body. When you don’t drink enough water, those toxins and waste materials start to accumulate, eventually causing severe damage.

2. Consuming too much salt

The body does need sodium to work properly, but an excess of sodium can cause damage. Most people consume too much, which can raise blood pressure and put stress on the kidneys.

3. Holding urine

This might sound odd, but almost everyone does it. The urge often comes during a car ride, in the middle of a phone call, or when there isn’t a bathroom nearby. Holding in urine on a regular basis increases pressure, which can lead to kidney failure and kidney stones. When nature calls, it’s best to listen.

4. Taking too much coffee

Coffee contains caffeine, and caffeine can raise blood pressure and put extra stress on the kidneys, just as salt can. Over time, excess coffee consumption (or caffeine consumption, such as energy drinks) can lead to kidney damage.

5. Consuming too much protein sourced from animals

Consuming an excess of animal protein (especially red meat) increases the metabolic load on the kidneys. The more animal protein one consumes, the harder the kidneys have to work, which can cause stress and lead to kidney damage.

6. Taking too much alcohol

Consuming too much alcohol doesn't only damage your kidney but also damages your liver as well. Most people enjoy a glass of wine or a beer here and there, but more than one drink several times a week can raise the risk of kidney damage. Alcohol puts stress on the kidneys and the liver.

7. Abusing painkillers

Both over-the-counter and prescription drugs are commonly taken for aches and pains without concern about the harmful side effects that may arise. Excessive use or abuse of painkillers can lead to severe kidney and liver damage.

8. Depriving yourself of sleep

Chronic sleep deprivation is linked to many health problems, including kidney disease. The body works while sleeping to repair kidney tissue that may be damaged, so depriving the body of sleep makes it harder to heal.

Dubai Is Building The World's First Rotating Skyscraper.

Dubai plans to take your 360-degrees math experience far beyond video by building the world's first ever rotating skyscraper by 2020.

The innovative city in the United Arab Emirates, which is also aiming to build a city on Mars, is no stranger to cutting-edge technology.

The "Dynamic Tower," which was proposed in 2008 by Israeli-Italian architect David Fisher, will feature 80 rotating stories that make the building look as if it's in constant motion. Not to mention it'll produce insanely cool views.

 Each different story of the futuristic apartment building will rotate 360 degrees and move independently, so residents can control their speed or decide to stop movement altogether with simple voice commands. The downside? Each unit costs $30 million.
$30 million for an apartment... But you never have to pay for electricity bills, ever again!

One of the main visual perks of living in the revolutionary tower is that you'll be able to watch the sun rise and set from the same window. And in case that's not cool enough, wind turbines are located between each floor of the building to provide the structure with power.

You can watch the video below to know more about the building.

United Arab Emirates Plans To Build A City On Mars Soon! Find Out When

Elon Musk isn't the only person who wants to build a city on Mars. Now the United Arab Emirates has announced that it wants to establish a "mini-city" on the red planet by 2117.

UAE prime minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum explained the monarchy's Mars plans in a series of tweets on Feb. 14.

"The project, to be named 'Mars 2117,' integrates a vision to create a mini-city and community on Mars involving international cooperation," Sheikh Mohammed said.

"Mars 2117 includes a major space sciences focus in our universities. We're building a space pioneering passion among our young people."

It makes sense for officials to use this project to inspire young people: They're the ones who will probably do the vast majority of the work.

If the UAE wants to have a fully-functioning city on Mars in 100 years, it will have to be a multi-generational effort that will span many decades, given the incipient state of the nation's space program and current global capabilities as well.

In the time between now and 2117, the UAE, with an international partnership of researchers, will start trying to find a faster mode of transportation to the red planet, and figure out what food and shelter should be on the cold, dry world.

"'Mars 2117' is a seed we are sowing today to reap the fruit of new generations led by a passion for science and advancing human knowledge," Sheikh Mohammed said.

The UAE has already put the world on notice that the oil-rich nation has aspirations beyond our home planet, having previously announced its plan to send a robotic mission to Mars in 2015.

That uncrewed spacecraft, called Hope, would fly to the red planet in 2020 and make it into orbit there in 2021.

Musk's SpaceX is also working toward creating a city on Mars, though the commercial space company's timeline isn't exactly clear.

Musk claims that SpaceX is working toward sending its first people to Mars by 2024, about a decade before NASA is expected to send their first crewed mission to the vicinity of Mars.

That said, the company's plans are still a bit murky when it comes to the timeline for actually creating its city, aiming for sometime in the 2060s.
Musk thinks there will be plenty of people who want to leave Earth behind.

"Not everyone will want to go. In fact, I think a relatively small number of people from Earth would want to go, but enough would want to go and who could afford the trip that it would happen," Musk said during a speech in September 2016.

Neither SpaceX nor the UAE can get to Mars alone, however.
Both need to have international and private partners that will help make a city on Mars a reality within their timeframes.


It's unclear if the monarchy and the private company will team up on their Mars ambitions, but Musk did say that he's open to public and private partnerships for the mission.

The Most Viscous Valentine's Day Prank On The Internet. LOL!

Pranks are best known to come and feel like pranks, and not like blows or explosions to the heart. Jay, Kerr's boyfriend made us understand and know more about the different forms of pranks. LOL...

This Irish girl who goes by the name Kerr, on Val's day, took to twitter to share screenshots of a message exchange she'd had with her boyfriend, Jay.

It started with talk of a surprise.

As Jay mentioned Paris and then Barcelona, the excitement grew...

...And then, it ridiculously came crashing down.

Yes — It happened that he'd booked tickets to a Champions League football match slated for that day.

Kerr's tweet — which came complete with a fairly no-nonsense caption — swiftly went viral. At the time of writing, it's gotten more than 32,000 retweets and 72,000likes.

this boy is getting smacked into 2018 when I see him pic.twitter.com/zos9eVVzWw

— LMK (@lauramariekerr) February 14, 2017

As with anything that goes viral on Twitter, it's attracted its fair share of trolls as well as favourites — but Kerr isn't letting any negative responses get her down.

Looks like she had a good Valentine's Day in the end, too.

6 Signs Your Guardian Angel Is Still Guarding You

Guardian angels are commonly viewed as heavenly messengers from God. They are sent to give people guidance in their lives or protect them from harm.

There is another line of thought that equates angels to spiritual beings that exist at a different frequency than us humans. They are on Earth to help people find their true calling and path for life. Angels support and love those they are sent to care for. both with their unseen energy and with little signs to help move people along the right path.

These signs are often small and insignificant, but, more often than not, those who receive them will feel great joy.

1. Random Touch Or Feeling:

Sometimes one just feels the presence of something that is not there. This could be a touch, an emotional feeling, or even just a presence.
   “Your angels may reach out to you, very subtly and wrap you in their wings of love, brush your arm or neck, or gently place their hand on your back or shoulder. Sometimes angels will make their presence very obvious, giving you an overwhelming sense of unconditional love.(source)

2. Signs In The Cloud

Symbols in the clouds is also a well-known sign angels like to send. It is not uncommon to see hearts, flowers, or even the shape of an angel in the clouds. This is your guardian angel checking in.

3. Noticing Random Beauty

If you are having an awful day and suddenly see something beautiful and uplifting, this is a sign from your angel.
  “Angels are the masters at helping you snap out of this lower state, and assisting to bring you back up to a higher vibrational state – and many times, all it takes is one sign! Next time, remember to point out your beautiful sign to others – it will no doubt raise up their energy as well!” (source)

4. Feather

One of the most common signs of angels is a small feather. This is especially true if the feather is found somewhere where feathers are not commonly found. Angels like to leave feathers as a reminder that they are there, and watching over us. This is especially true if someone has found a white feather (Source).

5. Rainbows

If one sees a rainbow that appears without the presence of rain, this is more than likely a sign sent by an angel. They like to remind us that they are around so that we know we are not alone.

6. Baby or Animal Random Reactions

Babies and animals are commonly more perceptive of angels than adults are. My children often smile or wave to nothing. When that happens, it could mean there is an angel near by.

5 Unbelievable Toilet Terrors That Are Real

It often might sound like tales by the moon light or perhaps an interesting fictitious tale coined up by Williams S., but vermin actually crawl up people's toilets, both when in use or when they are away for a while.

Below are a compilations of some few cases from around the world.

ENJOY and SHARE!

1. Dick-Thirsty Python

In May 2016, a 10-foot python crawled up a commode and bit a Thai man’s penis. Upon arriving at the scene in Chachoengsao Province, emergency workers discovered the snake’s head tied to the bathroom door with the rest of the beast stuck in the toilet.

They had to dismantle the commode to free the serpent. Atthaporn Boonmakchuay, 38, was rushed to nearby Chularat Hosptial. Both the he and the snake survived.
One rescue worker reported that he has seen countless snakes in toilets but never seen one go for genitalia before.

Boonmakchuay revealed that he checked the toilet bowl before squatting, He grabbed the python’s neck “to prevent it from taking him down.” “At first I thought my penis was gone,” but he managed to pry open the beast’s jaws. His wife and a neighbor covered the snake’s head with a plastic bag. The snake was released into the wild.

2. The Chronicles Of The Unluckiest Man In Australia

In September 2016, a spider bit a specific Australian man on the penis for the second time that year. The attack came as the 21-year-old was using a portable bathroom on a Sydney construction site. Jordan, whose last name is not given, knew the familiar sting. He was rushed to the hospital for treatment. The previous bite in April also occurred in a portable bathroom.

Jordan was wary of using portable toilets. However, he revealed: “The toilets got cleaned that day, and I thought it was my opportunity to go use one.” Jordan investigated both seats—but found nothing. He is unaware of what spider bit him but was treated with redback spider antivenom.

Redbacks are a relative of the black widow, which they closely resemble. Over 2,000 Australians are bit every year by this common arachnid. However, getting bitten twice in the penis in twelve months is astronomically unlucky.

3. Texas Rattle-Snake Infestation

Earlier this month, a Texas family discovered a rattlesnake in the toilet of their Aberdeen home. When young Isaac McFadden ventured into the bathroom in the morning, he discovered a “big clump”—he knew it was a snake.

The boy told his mother, who returned with a shovel to slaughter the serpentine invader. Big Country Snake Removal’s Nathan Hawkins found the dead snake in the toilet “very unusual” but nothing outside his wheelhouse.

During a routine sweep, Hawkins discovered 23 other rattlesnakes around the home. The first place Hawkins looked was in the old storm cellar. He discovered 13 rattlers huddled in a corner. In the crawl space, he found old sheet metal housing a den.

He removed 10 adults and five babies from the den. Hawkins receives 50 to 75 calls a day. 90 percent of snakebites he’s encountered occur when someone is trying to harm the snake.

4. Mississippi Toilet Mystery

On September 18, 2015, after returning from their honeymoon, a couple discovered a mysterious creature in the toilet of their home in Clinton, Mississippi. Homeowner Ronald Morris described it as a “big brown mass, and besides this had ears and whiskers on it . . . it was very shocking.” Some are convinced it is a squirrel. Others insist it is a rat.

Local plumbers believe the animal got trapped inside the bowl and was poisoned in search of fresh water. Skeen Plumbing & Gas’s Richard Parker revealed how easy it is for these critters to enter our abodes:

“Where they get wet is where the P trap is inside the toilet that keeps the methane gas out . . . so all they have to do is a little bitty two-second swim, and they’re in the bowl.” Parker recommends a check valve, which allows waste to exit the bowl but nothing to climb back in.

5. Sammy The Seal

In July 2016, locals discovered a seal sleeping in a public toilet in Tasmania. Dubbed “Sammy the Seal,” the 265-pound male Australian fur seal was found fast asleep in a stall within the ladies’ room of Mersey Vale Cemetery in Davenport—located in the northern part of the state. Rescue workers were able to relocate Sammy to a nearby waterway. The Tasmanian toilet seal was free again.

Australian fur seals are abundant around Tasmania, particularly in the Bass Strait, which separates the island state from the mainland. They often wind up as intruders in backyards and paddocks. Experts believe Sammy swam up nearby Horsehead Creek before entering the cemetery.

Parks and Wildlife workers had to sedate Sammy to transport him. Initially, the adventurous critter was locked in the stall to prevent any potential negative interactions with people. Quick intervention was essential to ensure the seal’s survival.
