Meet the hubby, wife and lover who live together
London: In one of the most oddest situation, a UK woman has managed to convince her husband and lover to live together in the same house, as she loves them both and cannot choose between the two.
Maria Butzki told the Mirror that when she left her hubby Paul for her lover Peter there was a huge hole in her life, but at the same time the thought of never seeing Peter again was heartbreaking.
The mum-of-two asserted that living with both the men is the only way for her to be together with the loves of her life. The housing liaison officer explained that moving her lover into the couple’s house got a bit easier after the men became fast friends.
Paul, a railway assessor, said that when his wife first had the affair with Peter, he was just heartbroken.
However, Paul asserted that as he got to know Peter, he realised that they had so much in common and he’s like a surrogate dad to the kids. Peter, a construction site manager, added that there is no jealousy over Maria, because they feel like a team. (ANI)
Rare ‘Asian unicorn’ spotted after 15yrs
in Vietnam
Wellington: One of the earth’s rarest and most threatened mammals, Saola, a long-horned ox, dubbed Asian unicorn, was caught on camera in central Vietnam forest for the first time in 15 years.
The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) said that the sighting in September has renewed hope for the species’ recovery, Stuff.co.nz reported.
The animal was found in the remote areas of high mountains near the border with Laos in 1992, when a collaborative effort from WWF and Vietnam’s forest control agency found a skull with unusual horns in a hunter’s home.
According to WWF, at that time, it was the first large mammal discovered in more than half decade.
Dang Dinh Nguyen, director of the Saola natural reserve in central province of Quang Nam, said that in Vietnam, the last sighting of a Saola in the wild was in 1998. Scientists estimate that at best, no more than few hundreds, and maybe only a few dozen, still survive in the remote, dense forests along the border with Laos. (ANI)

UK Woman apologises to burglars for lack of ‘good stuff’ !
London: A woman has written a thank you to the burglars, who ransacked her house in Kingsley, Northampton, apologizing for not having steal-worthy expensive things.
Kate Barrett, 36, told a UK publication that she was really shaken and upset after the break-in, but writing the note made her smile and see the funny side of things, the Daily Star reported.
Barrett wrote in the note that there was no need for the burglars to come back, unless they were interested in her collection of VHS videos and cassettes.
She also asked the burglars to just knock the door next time instead of breaking in the patio door as cleaning up the glass is a chore.
Barrett, who lives with her partner Dan Owens, has lost cufflinks, an iPod, a gold watch, a Canon camera, jewellery and cash, to the thieves. (ANI)
Meet the Briton who ‘tweeted’ entire Bible in just 3 years!
New York: A British man has achieved his goal of summarizing the entire Bible into 1,189 tweets.
It took Chris Juby, Director of Worship at King’s Church in Durham, England, exactly three years and three months to complete his mission of reducing every single chapter of the Bible to 140 characters, the New York Daily News reported.
The Durham man, who started with Genesis 1 on Aug. 8, 2010, tweeted out one chapter every day on @biblesummary and wrapped up his work with Revelations 22 on Nov. 8, 2013.
Although this was Juby’s third time reading through the entire Bible, he said that during this trek, his life has changed considerably.
While Juby hopes that the tweets helped his followers engage in new ways with a text that has been around for hundreds of years, he doesn’t want people to think of his project as the definitive summary of the Bible.
He told the publication that he might team up with publishers to get his summaries printed in a book, but he claimed he won’t tweet from @biblesummary again.
The Bible has 1,189 chapters and he wants his tweets to reflect that. (ANI)
