 Our friends Adam and Andrew Meehan sent us this story about Edith Macefield of Ballard, WA. She recently passed away in her home that she fought to keep from commercial construction. Edith was offered $1 million for her home that was only valued at $120,000 but she didn’t want to budge. She continued to live in her 2-story home while the block was built up around her. What spunk! Thanks, gentlemen. Believe It or Not.

The Miller Park Zoo in Bloomington, Illinois has taken this whole recycling thing a little too far. They call this a "Magical Reindeer Gem Ornament"...and the zoo sells these during the Holiday season. Yes, it sparkles, and is quite nice...but take a closer look at the photo, the largest bead in the center...yep...Believe It or Not!, reindeer POOP! The technique is simple, take a "dropping", dry it out, coat it in six layers of clear varnish, paint it and roll it in glitter...and you have the Magical Reindeer Gem. You can only buy these special ornaments in person at the zoo. They cost $5 each. Just don't put one in my stocking!

 Believe It or Not!, an American vegetarian held 11Madagascan Hissing Cockroaches in his mouth for ten seconds to beat the world record. Previously, the record was only nine of the two-to-three inch insects. Mr. Fessler, the champ, is no stranger to the bugs: he owns over 1,000 as pets! Ewww.

This is crazy! Cairns Post, an Australian news source, got this story of a spider that actually caught and ate a snake! The 14cm-long snake was found tangled in the spider’s web and over a few days, the spider killed the snake, rolled it up in the web, and ate it! Believe It or Not!
