A 75-year-old man has been killed by a large, flightless creature that is considered to be the 'world's most dangerous bird'.Police found the Florida man badly hurt by a cassowary. The bird has four-inch claws that are likened to daggers. According to authorities, Marvin Hajos was attacked by the bird, after he fell over near it. He was taken to hospital by paramedics but died later on from his injuries. According to the San Diego Zoo, they are the most dangerous in the world. Alachua County Sheriff Department said the man was probably injured by the bird's claws.
Study Finds That Men With Beards Carry More Germs Than Dogs.
It might have taken you what felt like forever to grow your beard to the right length and thickness but would you shave it off if we told you that your facial fuzz could carry more germs than a dog carries in its fur? Yes, that's right according to scientists, men with beards may carry bacteria in their chin hair which could be dangerous to their health, whereas pooches come off cleaner in general with lower levels of microbes. The study, which was uncovered by the Mail On Sunday, took swabs from the beards of 18 men and the necks of 30 dogs, across a range of breeds, and compared the results. So, technically, there were 12 more dogs than men...Professor Andreas Gutzeit, of Switzerland's Hirslanden Clinic, told the publication: "The researchers found a significantly higher bacterial load in specimens taken from the men's beards compared with the dogs' fur."On the basis of these findings, dogs can be considered as clean compared with bearded men."The study found that every single one of the 18 bearded men, aged between 18 and 76, showed high microbial counts. Compare this to only 23 of the 30 dogs having high levels with the remaining seven having 'moderate' levels and dogs are technically cleaner... apparently. You might argue that there were fewer fellas involved in the study than dogs however, every bloke in the is pretty much an undoubted dirty bastard and you can't really argue with that. There were even seven men found to have microbes that posed a threat to human health. Keith Flett, founder of the Beard Liberation Front (yes, that is such a thing), cast doubt on the report telling the MailOnline: "' I think it's possible to find all sorts of unpleasant things if you took swabs from people's hair and hands and then tested them."I don't believe that beards in themselves are unhygienic," he wouldn't really be considering his title...Mr Flett continued: "There seems to be a constant stream of negative stories about beards that suggest it's more about pogonophobia than anything else.
Pogonophobia is, of course, an extreme dislike of beards. Yes, that's also such a thing. But do remember, guys people with beards are just people without beards, with beards. Just a hell of a lot filthier maybe... but we don't judge around here.

Foster Kid Claps and Shouts Out ‘Dad’ in Courtroom Upon Being Officially Adopted.

A couple in Ohio was feeling anxious as they sat in the courtroom waiting for the judge to read the adoption decree for their foster child. But they were soon alleviated of their anxiety when the boy has finally pronounced theirs. Everyone became emotional when the little fella excitedly yelled out one word and started clapping in excitement. Mandi and Tyler Palmer, of Perrysburg, had always wanted to be parents since they wed in 2014. But Mandi was unable to conceive because of Crohn’s disease. “That’s when we started looking into other options and we were talking about adoption and we kept hearing our county’s commercial for the need of foster parents in our area,” she told PEOPLE.“We were scared. We kind of danced around the idea for a little bit. Then we prayed on it, and we just felt like God pushed us to do it.”A surprise was waiting for them on the very week they became licensed as foster parents.“Once we got licensed as foster-to-adopt parents, that week, we got the phone call for Hunter. He was 8 days old,” Mandi said. “We went and picked him up at Children’s Services. We brought him home and we went through the roller coaster ride of foster care for that entire year.”After 16 months of fostering, the couple learned that they could adopt young Hunter. On Dec. 18, 2017, the couple went to a local courthouse to sign the adoption paperwork.“It was very emotional, in a good way,” Mandi said. “We had all of our family and friends there. At the end of the court process, the judge announced [Hunter’s] new legal name. And they read the adoption decree and that’s when Hunter looked at my husband and he shouted out, ‘Dad!’“He just started clapping and everybody just started crying. It was so emotional. It’s definitely rewarding. It’s nice to look in his eyes now and not have to worry that he’s ever gonna have to leave us again.”“On adoption day, it’s almost like a ton of bricks just came off our chest. We now know that he’s never leaving us. He’ll always be safe and loved with us. So that in itself is rewarding,” she added.Through fostering and adopting Hunter, the couple said that they have learned something.“We have learned that family isn’t about DNA. It’s about love!” Mandi wrote in a story to Love What Matters. Congratulations to this couple for finally fulfilling their dream! Looks like Hunter has found himself a wonderful new home.
