There is a bank in the state of Colorado that has a lockbox in it. In that lockbox is the last recording of Timothy "Grizzly Man" Treadwell, a conservation enthusiast and bane of the existence of Katmai National Park rangers, due to his dangerous interactions with the park grizzlies.
The recording consists of the audio of Timothy and his girlfriend, Amie Huguenard, being attacked, eaten, and k****d (in that order) by Bear 141 "Ollie"*. The only people to have listened to this audio are the park rangers and troopers who assisted in identification and recovery of Treadwell and Huguenard's bodies, the forensics specialists working on the case, and Werner Herzog, director of the documentary about Treadwell called "Grizzly Man". Herzog is the reason the tape is in a private bank lockbox and will never see the public light of day.
*"Ollie" is the name given to the bear by Treadwell, as is commonly done by fans of the Katmai Bears. He was tagged as Bear 141, and park rangers and NPS staff are no longer involved with naming bears: all named bears are considered to be "unofficial fan names".

There's a shortwave radio transmitter based in Russia that has been continuously broadcasting strange, repetitive buzzing sounds, periodically interrupted by spoken Russian, stating names or random numbers. This has been going on continuously since the early 1980s and possibly longer.

During the merger of two black holes,a black holes can occasionally get ejected from the system and get shot out into open space and become a wandering black hole, the creepy part for me is that because a large part of the way in which we see black holes is through their interactions with their surroundings we wouldn’t really be able to see it coming towards us.

Snails have teeth.
How many?
15,000 - 25,000
If I remember correctly their teeth are one of the hardest materials on Earth.

How humans and pigs are so weirdly related.
You can use pig pancreas for transplants and to make insulin. You can use more organs of a pig.
But the fact that scares me, terrifies me is...Humans smell like good pork when they burn.
I was in the spot of an accident with high voltage and it burnt my dad's hand...to this day the smell haunts me. My dad was fine, but the smell. The live burnt flesh, in this hue of vicious pink that feels unnatural and charred black. It smelled of smoke, burnt dirt and pork.
I don't eat pork anymore. My dad actually loves eating pork though...so I guess someone is a cannibal :/.
