A London Burger King sells a $200 burger!

If you're thinking of getting a delicious hamburger, you might be torn as to which restaurant to go to. You might think McDonald's Big Mac trumps the Wendy's Baconator. However, both of those burgers do not trump the $200 Burger King delicacy simply known as "The Burger".

"The Burger" has a long list of ingredients, most of which will make you drool for approximately 5 to 10 minutes. The ingredients are: Wagyu beef, white truffles, Pata Negra ham slices, Cristal onion straws, Modena balsamic vinegar, lambs lettuce, pink Himalayan rock salt, organic white wine, and shallot-infused mayonnaise all served up on an Iranian saffron and white truffle dusted bun.

That's a long list, which adds some justification to the $200 burger. Another way Burger King has justified the price is that all the proceeds from a sale of this burger, go straight to a charity in London.

A man was swallowed by a hippo and managed to escape alive!

Paul Templer was 27-years-old and working as a river guide doing tours down the Zambezi river in Zimbabwe. During those tours, he had experienced many 'half-hearted' attacks from a territorial male hippo. However, one day the hippo attacked viciously out of nowhere.

The attack first killed an apprentice guide, and then turned to Templer when he approached to help his coworker. Templer said he felt no pain or transition, just like he had suddenly gone blind and deaf. He was trapped head-in up to his waist inside the hippo!

He described it as slimy, that it smelled like rotten eggs and had a tremendous pressure in his chest. He managed to wriggle free once, but the hippo attacked again. The hippo eventually spat him out and he managed to live.

The attack left him with 40 puncture wounds. Some were so deep, you could see his lungs. He also lost an arm because it got crushed by the animal. Templer eventually returned to his job as a guide.

When sea water freezes into sea ice, it releases its salt and becomes a

When salt-rich water leaks out of sea ice, it sinks into the sea and can occasionally create an eerie finger of ice called a brinicle. New research explains how these strange fingers of ice form and how the salty water within sea ice could have been a prime environment in which life may have evolved.

These ice stalactites are created under sea ice when cold, saline water is introduced to an area of ocean water.At the time of its creation, a brinicle resembles a pipe of ice reaching down from the underside of a layer of sea ice.

As the sea water freezes, it pushes out impurities, including salt. This makes the water surrounding the pipe more saline, and more dense, so it starts to sink. As the dense water flows down, some of it freezes and creates the finger-like shape that's characteristic of the brinicle.

At first, a brinicle is very fragile; its walls are thin and it is largely the constant flow of colder brine that sustains its growth and hinders its melt that would be caused by the contact with the less cold surrounding water. Check out the source for an awesome video of this process!
