I’m not a fan of pain, or even death, which is why I prefer to avoid amusement parks and more specifically, their rides. As a kid I loved riding roller-coasters and basically everything else you could find in an amusement park, but, now things are a bit different and my fear of these aging mechanical contraptions is getting stronger. I thank the most comprehensive and (extremely) detailed database/web-blog of amusement park ride accident reports and news on the internet, RideAccidents.com for confirming my suspicions of these things. RideAccidents.com is a site that features detailed reports on amusement park and carnival ride accidents from around the world, including photographs and even court documents in some cases. While not affiliated with any government agents or consumer advocacy group, rideaccidents.com is certainly doing right by tracking the performance of an industry in a level-headed and informative fashion while not cashing into the morbidity of it all.

I will never fall asleep tonight. If you’re like me and not a big fan of things with more than 4 legs that can hang from a ceiling and possibly kill you, then I’d suggest not watching this video. Deep in the caves of Venezuela, David Attenborough found a giant centipede, which appears to live off of bats. Yes, a centipede large enough to catch, kill and eat a bat. Watch the video after the jump, while I head out to buy a few cans of bug spray.

Bunnies are cute little critters, I think everyone can agree on that. Right? Right? What about bunny yawns? I think that’s where we start to enter a grey area. Apparently, a yawning bunny on film is a rare thing, since, rabbit yawns are around 1-2 seconds long, making them rather difficult to actually catch on film. Enter Talking Egg and their collection of bunny yawning photos as well as videos! I have to admit, I’m warming up to the site of a yawning bunny on film, like the photo I HAD to post below, but some of these little crits look like they’re about to eat someone, Summer School style.
