The Dutch National Archives published a nazi-treasure map from WWII near Ommeren, a small Dutch municipality. It involves 3-4 ammunition boxes full of jewelry, diamonds, watches, etc. Look for the red cross on the map. Now, all kinds of people are searching for it using their metal detectors.

"Two-legged fox is nature conquering all, says wildlife expert"

 

Quote

TV wildlife expert Mike Dilger says he was "blown away" by video footage showing a fox with only two legs.

 

The clip has been widely shared after being filmed by Phil and Jane Carter in their garden in Ilkeston, Derbyshire.

 

Mr Dilger, who has appeared on BBC's Springwatch and The One Show, described the footage as "nature conquering all" and "an amazing survivalist story".

 

He said he thought the fox had probably been born with two legs missing rather than losing them later in life.

 

'Poise and balance'

The video shows the fox freely moving around on its two front legs while sniffing around the lawn.

 

Mr Dilger told BBC Radio Derby: "The footage is remarkable. It's nature conquering all - it's beautiful.

 

"When your producer contacted me and said would I like to pop it on, I was instantly blown away by it.

 

"I think it's probably a genetic abnormality or disorder - so it's probably happened from birth rather than as a result of an injury.

 

"The reason I think that is because it's so adept. Its poise, balance and control is astonishing - the way it can go up on those two forelimbs and actually still eat."

Elon Musk has broken the world record for the largest loss of personal fortune in history.

From November 2021 to December 2022 he lost around $165bn, Guinness World Records said in a blog on its website.

The figures are based on data from publisher Forbes, but Guinness said other sources suggested Mr Musk's losses could have been higher.

After 17 years, my elderly German neighbour (78) offered me the Du as I helped him several times with the groceries and television. Before that it was always Herr Nachbar.

There's a bloke in our öocal park who is abput thst age. He doesn't walk well. We stop with the dog sometimed and we chat. He rememberd ( since i told him zi'm English ) thr bombing of our area by the RAF the screaming of childrrn and the deaths. It has understandably followed his own life. He was a child at the time.

 

The next time we meet I want to offer him the Du and mt name.
