I didn't know that I needed to see a zebra spinning from a helicopter, but I feel like my life is closer to being complete.

I want nothing more than to know what that zebra was thinking.

California pigs get 'bright blue' skin after exposure to pesticides: officials

Quote:

The department noted that it first received reports of the pigs’ bizarre intestinal discoloration in March, but noted that not all contaminated pigs have the glaring blue innards, especially depending on when they consumed the pesticide.

“It’s wild. I’m not talking about a little blue. I’m talking about neon blue, blueberry blue,” Dan Burton, owner of Urban Trapping Wildlife Control, who first reported the oddly coloured flesh, told The Los Angeles Times.

The wild pigs are present in 56 of California’s 58 counties, according to the CDFW.

Quote:

Officials suspect the pigs could’ve ingested dyed bait containing the pesticide.

Quote:

Man credits Giants kicker Younghoe Koo for saving his life after the kicker botched a field goal attempt against the New England Patriots.

Mark Toothaker of Lexington, Kentucky, says he believes Koo saved his life.

Toothaker says the wiff from Koo made him laugh so hard that he had a seizure.

"I’ve never felt anything like this in my life. I felt like I got electrocuted," he said.

Toothaker was then rushed from his home to the hospital. Following a CT scan, Toothaker says a "tennis-ball-sized tumor" was found on the side of his brain.

The tumor was surgically removed, and Toothaker has no long-term damage, according to the AP.

“[Koo] saved my life because it could’ve happened any other time. I wholeheartedly believe I was in the right spot at the right time, and he was the trigger for that happening. It was a miracle," he told the AP.

"As tough as that thing was, as violent as that seizure was, I have no memory of it and I would find it hard to believe that I wouldn’t have hurt somebody or hurt myself if I would’ve been behind a wheel."

Ksyrup · 04-28-2026, 06:14 AM
