Goats that took over Welsh town are now shopping at Primark - Metro

"[...] In the spring lockdown last year, the goats [...] achieved global notoriety for invading the traffic-free streets. And when Wales went into lockdown again, they became even more adventurous, with one even ‘checking in’ to a hotel. [...]

Before the pandemic, the 120-strong army of goats were more commonly spotted munching on the grasslands of the Great Orme. But they are now regular visitors who seem to enjoy having free roam of the deserted streets, climbing walls, eating plants and hedges, and generally causing mischief. They are descended from Kashmir mountain goats and were given to Llandudno as a gift from Queen Victoria."

Weird names of ships stuck in Suez Canal jam make a splash online - The New York Post

"[...] The internet is going wild over the weird and funny names of boats stuck in the Suez Canal jam — including vessels such as Nautical Deborah, Thor Courage, and just plain Chris. [...] The monikers of other stranded ships make Boaty McBoatface sound elegant — including Energy Centurion, Shakedog, and Bulk Venus, others tweeted. [...] Less distinguished gems of the sea also include the Friendship Express, Svitzer Bootle and Lunchbox, according to an international database of ship names. [...]

Dozens of ships became stuck in the maritime traffic jam earlier this week when the 1,300-foot-long Ever Given became wedged diagonally in the canal in a northern section of the Red Sea near Egypt. [...] The mix of vessels stuck near the canal includes 41 bulk carriers, dozens of tankers — and at least one Russian warship. [...]"

"NASA’s experimental Martian helicopter holds a small swatch of fabric from the 1903 Wright Flyer, the space agency revealed Tuesday. [...]

The Carillon Historical Park in Dayton, Ohio, the Wrights’ hometown, donated the postage-size piece of muslin from the plane’s bottom left wing, at NASA’s request. The swatch made the 300 million-mile journey to Mars with the blessing of the Wright brothers’ great-grandniece and great-grandnephew, said park curator Steve Lucht. [...]

Prince Philip had fascination with UFOs and collected books about aliens - Metro UK

PRI_190344931.jpg


[...] It turns out the Duke [of Edinburgh] was fascinated with close encounters and had amassed a sizeable collection of books on the subject. [...]

In 2016, Nick Pope, who ran the Ministry of Defence’s UFO project told the Daily Star that Philip at one time was ‘absolutely fascinated’ with extraterrestrial activity. He said: ‘This royal interest in UFOs was extremely difficult for us at the MoD because our policy was to downplay the true extent of our interest and involvement in UFOs. ‘We routinely told Parliament, the media and the public that the subject was of very limited interest and ‘no defence significance. ‘The irony was that we were all Crown servants – and that our ultimate bosses were fascinated by a subject we were actively trying to debunk.’ [...]

According to the Sun, the Duke’s interest in UFOs was first sparked by his uncle Lord Mountbatten, who wrote an official report about a silver spaceship reportedly landing on his Broadlands estate in Romsey, Hampshire in 1955. [...]

Seeking to protect its long-held trademark, Blizzard has filed a Notice of Opposition with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to block Fox from trademarking Diablo [...]

Fox’s Diablo is one of the pets who gets psychoanalyzed in the animated series Housebroken, which is about a therapy dog named Honey who provides therapy to other animals.

Blizzard’s Notice of Opposition [is] putting forth the notion that the public might confuse the long-running game series with Diablo the dog. [...]
