Worried about a Zombie apocalypse? This map will come in handy!

Zombies have experienced a surge in popularity lately, fueled in part by the wildly successful show, "The Walking Dead." This new site, Map of the Dead has capitalized on their popularity and has become an overnight viral sensation. The site is pretty simple: based on demographic data, it tells you how dangerous the places around you will be if there ever is an outbreak of zombies. The more densely populated an area, the more danger you'll find yourself in. Spartz Media would be decimated almost instantly. Then, using Google Maps data, the site also gives you important landmarks that will be useful to find resources: gas stations, hospitals and grocery stores, for example.

The site, created by digital agency doejo, was announced on their blog on April 10th. It was profiled by Mashable the next day, and picked up by a lot of other media outlets. They company announced in their blog that they had received almost 1 million unique visits in just 5 days. Sadly, in the case of a real zombie apocalypse, the site will probably be offline, so either memorize or print the map. Let us know in the comments: how dangerous does the map say your area will be in?

A Biologist created a "Unicorn Bull" in the 1930s.

Dr. W.F. Dove made quite a splash with his "Unicorn Bull" in 1933. He was a biologist at the University of Maine, and was experimenting with trying to create a unicorn bull. What he did is he took a calf, and he removed the tissue parts that would become its horns and transplanted them to the center of the forehead.

Dr. Dove's experiment was a success, and the bull grew a massive horn in the middle of its forehead. The growth had some unexpected consequences. Reports say that the animal was able to recognize the power of having a single horn. This allowed him to pass under fences and barriers and a way to more easily reach in it's attacks. These benefits also had another consequence, it was actually pretty mild mannered. The bull knew how much of a beast it was, and therefore didn't need to prove anything to anyone.

There’s a knife fork hybrid called the knork!

While the spork has achieved praise from airplane regulars around the world, few know about its cousin, the knork! Combining the cutting aspect of a knife with the puncturing aspect of a fork, the knork was actually invented for those without one hand, allowing them to cut their food without aid. 

It was never formally introduced to the market, but its origins can be traced back hundreds of years. Horatio Nelson, who lost his right arm, is said to have used a knork, inviting the nickname the “Nelson fork,” which dates the knork all the way back in 1797!

Want to become a Lord or Lady? It'll be less than $50!

We've talked about Sealand before. It's the tiny nation that was created as an independent micro-nation on top of a former British WWII sea fort. The country uses the fact that it's an independent nation to its fullest extent. For example, one of their biggest businesses is online gambling. It's highly regulated almost everywhere, except on Sealand. 

The most curious business they have, however, is the fact that they sell Nobility Titles! You can go on their website and for £29.99, you can become a Lord, Lady, Baron or Baroness of Sealand! If you have higher aspirations, you can pay £199.99 to become a Count or Countess of Sealand. 

What are you waiting for? The night is dark and full of terrors, so arm yourself with your sword and your title and you'll be all set for when winter comes. If any of you do end up buying this let us know in the comments!

The Polish army officially drafted a brown bear into service in WWII as a Private!

Wojtek was a Syrian brown bear, and he was a private in the Polish army during World War II. His official duty was passing ammunition along to supply the guns. However, in between raids, Wojtek enjoyed drinking beer, eating cigarettes and wrestling with the men of 22nd Artillery Supply Company. Once, he even found an enemy soldier who was spying for a raiding party.
