When we think about scientists, it's likely that many of us initially picture a person working in a clean lab and looking at a sample through a microscope.
However, that mental image doesn't even scratch the surface of what many of these people do on a daily basis, especially when it comes to working out in the field. Biologists, archaeologists, and other people of science often put themselves in less-than-ideal conditions for research, like examining rotting corpses or wading through bogs. That's what sparked a discussion on Twitter prompting people to describe the worst thing they've ever smelled on the...

That's because one of its customers is a cute dog named Pituco, who loves doing all of his shopping on his own. “Everybody knows Pituco,” the shop’s vet told The Dodo. “His food is on the top shelf, so we have to hand it to him. He barks until we do.”Pituco's parents have a deal worked out with the shop so that their...

This Rat Got More Than It Bargained For When It Snuck Into A Monkey Enclosure
Sometimes the most adorable friendships are the ones you'd least expect.
And when a tiny rodent made its way into a monkey enclosure, it quickly made best friends with four monkeys that would make even the rat pack jealous. There’s no intimidation here! The friendly primates can be seen petting the rat’s head and pulling on its tail in a playful manner while the rodent scurries around looking for food, as rodents do.
But wait...did the rat just bail when it was full? Damn. Maybe their friendship wasn't so cute after all.

She Convinced Her Boyfriend To Kill Himself, And Now Justice Is Being Served
By now, you may have heard of the case of Michelle Carter and Conrad Roy III.
Roy was a suicidal 18-year-old who was dating Carter (then a juvenile). He would often describe his plans to Carter to kill himself, and instead of reacting as most of us would, she urged him to take his own life. This happened mainly over text message and took place over months of talking to one another. Eventually, however, Roy tragically killed himself. Carter was on the phone when it happened, but she chose not to call for help.
