Even though it's a common medical procedure now, if you think about it, X-rays are still pretty amazing.
We've devised a way to look inside our own bodies without putting ourselves in too much danger. Now, you don't want to go getting one every day, but it's an essential tool for doctors to help us....and, on occasion, laugh at us.People never stop being stupid, and that means that there's no shortage of foreign bodies that somehow wind up inside humans. Don't believe me? Check out 15 of the craziest images below.

This Hilariously Lazy And Sassy French Bulldog Is Everything We Aspire To Be
Growing up a natural-born ginger, I’ve earned quite the reputation of serving up sass at every opportunity.
For me, sass is nothing more than a comedic schtick used to lighten up the mood. And although at times people may confuse my sassy personality as pettiness, I promise I never mean to come off that way. Life is pretty difficult on its own, so if not taking yourself too seriously and dishing out eye rolls and quick quips is how I choose to make it through the day, that’s just me being me. But while my sass is always on point,...

Father Makes Heartbreaking Plea To Parents After A Mistake Led To His Child's Death
Children are known to pick up small objects and put them in their mouths on a regular basis, which is why so many toys come with warnings of possible choking hazards for kids.
Unfortunately for George Asan from Hampshire, England, his daughter, Francesca, did just that when she came across a common household item last year. Instead of choking on it, however, she swallowed it without showing any signs of distress. By the time her father realized that she'd ingested the object, it was too late to save her life.
While the small, round batteries like this one used in...

He Was Given A Dose Of LSD And Asked To Draw. These Portraits Were The Result.
Back in the 1950s, the U.S. government conducted many experiments on human subjects involving psychedelic drugs such as LSD.
Project MKUltra is perhaps one of the most well known of these programs, in which the Scientific Intelligence Division of the CIA aimed to develop drugs and methods that would successfully force confessions through mind control. These experiments included giving LSD to mental patients, prisoners, drug addicts, and prostitutes without their knowledge to study their reactions. One experiment that occurred during that time period but wasn't associated with Project MKUltra involved an artist being asked to draw his experiences under the...

Weird Photo Of A Husky Brings Up An Important Point For Pet Parents This Summer
Now that we're already in the middle of June and the weather is heating up, it's only natural that we put away our winter wardrobes and opt for lighter clothes.
Unlike us, our furry friends simply can't take off their built-in coats whenever they want, which has mistakenly led some to believe that shaving their dogs is necessary to keep them cool during the summer. But when it comes to double-coated breeds, it isn't the best idea.
This photo of a funny-looking shaved husky has recently been going viral, but it's a perfect example of what not to do to...

Recently, a surprising 911 call in Fort Worth, Texas, from a 95-year-old man reporting his broken air conditioning was labelled as a low priority emergency.
But when officers William Margolis and Christopher Weir finally responded to the unusual call, they were in for a surprise. The elderly man’s home was reading temperatures in the high 80s at only 8:30 in the morning.

But when Home Depot employees caught wind of the story, they decided to...

When Shannon MacLeod took her children to the beach, she had no idea it would be the last thing she'd ever do.
After enjoying a fun day of sand and sun, the 35-year-old, who was eight months pregnant and about to become a grandmother as well, started loading up her car. While they were all getting ready to leave, MacLeod's van suddenly started rolling backwards and pinned her beneath it. Her six-year-old son had somehow accidentally put the vehicle in gear. “One of the kids was in the car or something like that, and the kids were playing around, and...

This Barfing Python May Be The Grossest Thing You See All Week. You're Welcome.
If you love food as much as I do, chances are that at least once in your life, you’ve overindulged on something scrumptious and your stomach was like, ”Nah, I don’t think so."
And while most people don’t particularly enjoy talking about getting sick or throwing up, sorry to burst your bubble, but we’re gonna talk about it today! One gluttonous python thought it would devour an entire deer carcass in one huge gulp. But quickly after swallowing Bambi, our slithery snake learned that it had bitten off more than it could chew.

A U.K. Court Ruled To Take Their Baby Off Life Support, But They Kept Fighting
In August 2016, Chris Gard and Connie Yates welcomed their son, Charlie, into the world. They didn't know that less than a year later, they'd be fighting to keep him alive.
Just a few weeks after Charlie was born, his health started taking a turn for the worse. "We took him into hospital at eight weeks old and none of us have been anywhere near home since," his parents wrote on their campaign website "Charlie's Fight." Their little boy suffers from a rare genetic condition called mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome, which progressively weakens tissues in the muscle, liver, or both...

Bored At School? Never. This Guy's Students Are Endlessly Entertained By His Antics
Teachers are constantly struggling to find new and creative ways to keep their students engaged.
In today’s ever-changing world, it simply isn’t enough to rely on reading, writing, and arithmetic to rule the classroom. Advancements in technology have opened up a whole new rule book for student engagement, but not every teacher is willing to see the advantages of changing up their teaching styles. But Joe Dombrowski, or Mr. D, is leading the charge when it comes to finding ways to make learning fun so that kids will look forward to coming to school. And based on his kiddos' reactions,...

She Thought Her Child Had A Bruise, But Doctors Reached A Shocking Conclusion
During the spring and summer, all the bugs that were hiding out during the colder months come out to play again.
This can mean a rise in bug bites, especially from mosquitoes and ticks. That's why it's so important to check everyone in your family each night, especially if you live in an area where these insects are common. And, as one family in Massachusetts recently learned, you might find a whole lot more than you bargained for. Kristine Donovan first noticed a small blue bruise on the back of her daughter Kailyn's knee, but when it continued to grow,...

This Dog's Nose Led Him To A Discovery That Stunned Everyone Who Saw It
A dog by the name of Orejón has made quite the name for himself in the small town of Vincent Lopez, Argentina.
When a neighbor’s house went up in flames two months ago, the alert pup quickly notified the family. Since that time, as Orejón and his owner roam the streets, there’s not a day that goes by where the tiny pup isn't recognized as a local hero. So seeing Orejón out and about wouldn’t normally be cause for alarm, but when one neighbor noticed a disturbing look on the dog’s face, they knew something was up. The cause of...

This Amazing Pup Was Missing For Two Days. Then She Showed Up At Dad's Office!
Rescue dog Cleo has earned quite the reputation of being a four-legged Houdini.
Perhaps one of the dog’s most memorable tricks is her ability to slip out of her collar. For Cleo’s dad Ryk Goddard, it’s not unusual for the pup to slip away for a few hours without much concern. Typically the beagle pooch can be found in a matter of hours hanging out at the local vet clinic just a short drive from the family’s home. But a couple weeks ago, this escape artist pulled a rather concerning stunt that left her family worried.
While out for a...

You Can't See In This Water, Which Makes What These Kids Caught Even Scarier
When I think about a fun day from my childhood, I think about curling up with a good book.
I'm the first to admit that I'm not really the outdoorsy type. Then again, I never had to be. Life in other parts of the United States and around the world puts adults and children in places where interacting with the natural world is essential, and even part of everyday fun. It just so happens that the farther you get away from cities and suburbs, the more likely you are to find yourself face to face with some pretty gnarly creatures....

After an Argentinian man rescued a condor chick that had fallen from its nest, he was quick to nurse it back to health.
The rescuer never thought after rehabilitating the large bird and setting it free that the bird would ever remember his good deeds, let alone return to thank him for his selflessness. But fortunately, the now-grown condor recently returned to visit his rescuer and give him a heartwarming embrace for all his help.
Their bond is so sweet!

Well, This Isn't What You Want To Happen On Demolition Day. Ouch.
People love watching thrill-seekers perform stunts in videos.
We see movie stunts all the time, and even though those can still be dangerous, they're performed in carefully controlled situations designed to ensure that as few injuries as possible occur. Real-life stunts can be a little more...raw. Maybe it's the actual threat of danger that keeps adrenaline junkies coming back for more. A recent stunt seemed like it couldn't really go wrong when a man decided to attach himself to a cord and jump from a building as it was being demolished. After all, he'd be above the action, right?

Her Daughter Called Her Fat, And Her Response Is The Absolute Best
One huge part of parenting is learning how to have difficult conversations with kids.
Everyone wants their children to grow up knowing how to treat everyone with kindness and respect, but in a society that doesn't value differences, it can be hard to set an example. For instance, it's drilled into our heads from a very young age that "fat" is a bad word, and a bad thing to be. It's one of the earliest insults children learn to throw at each other, and it can really affect kids' self esteem as they get older. One mom was shocked to...

It's Baby Season At This Petting Zoo, And It's Just As Cute As You'd Imagine
The Hochatown Petting Zoo is a very popular place to visit in Broken Bow, Oklahoma, and it isn't very hard to see why.
Besides giving their patrons a chance to hold and pet a number of cute critters, the people who work there also take in animals and care for them as part of their licensed wildlife rehabilitation program through the state. Many of these animals are orphaned or injured, and all of them are seriously adorable.
Whenever possible, the petting zoo releases wild animals after they've been rehabilitated or are old enough to fend for themselves.
