Do people know someone actually did that? A 14 year old kid online spent months pretending to be a government agency recruiter that was interested in recruiting his friend, grooming him before presenting him with the task to kill him under the guise of the friend proving himself and to stop a terrorist threat?
Their names were censored but I think it was one of the first cases of the victim being charged for inciting their own murder and happened in the early 2000’s.
3-d looking vintage cookery books, thin pamphlets with optical illusion covers making them appear bigger thicker books - it seems to work very well on the first book as they have even trimmed the corner at an angle.
An extremely rare land snail from Borneo - Vitrinula sp.
These photos show a rare species of land snails of the genus Vitrinula, probably Vitrinula muluensis (Stylommatophora - Ariophantidae), found on the climb up Gunung Api to the Pinnacles overlook, in Gunung Mulu National Park, Sarawak, Borneo.
The most interesting feature of these snails is that the animal has two mantle-lobes as metallic-colored tendrils covering part of front of shell, which continually lick the shell. Those tendrils are in fact a double penis which exceed the periphery of the shell and are a diagnostic feature of the genus.
Little is known about this rarely seen species, which is not surprising considering that they have a very restricted habitat in the karst area of Gunung Mulu, since as Clements et al. (2008) indicate, limestone karsts on tropical land masses are considered de facto habitat islands due to their isolation from one another by non-calcareous substrata; this spatial configuration limits gene flow and induces high levels of species endemism.
Horsehair worms, aka hairsnakes or Gordian worms, Order Gordioidea, Phylum Nematomorpha. Found throughout the world.
Although alien in appearance, these worms are parasitoids of arthropods in their larval stage and are not harmful to humans or other mammals. Adult worms are free-living, meaning they do not require a host, and they do not feed. Most are only a few inches long, but in extreme cases they can reach over two meters in length while remaining only 1 to 3 millimeters in diameter.
