Shakira’s Cheating Boyfriend Officially the World’s Dumbest Man
Published 3 years ago in Creepy
Shakira and her long time partner Gerard Pique are reportedly on the brink of splitting up, after the Colombian world wide pop star discovered the Barcelona soccer defender has been meeting up with someone else. While there are many details left to uncover, one question looms above all else. How dumb does a guy have to be to cheat on Shakira?
Shakira met Pique during the 2010 World Cup, and although they have never officially married, the couple have two children together. Recently however, it has been reported that he is living in a different apartment, and the relationship may have been in jeopardy even before this scandal. While the identity of his new fling has not been revealed, she is allegedly a twenty year old who works as a restaurant hostess in Barcelona where the couple lives. Pique is 35.
Just two years ago, Shakira reminded the world that she hasn’t lost a step when she wowed at the 2020 Super Bowl Halftime Show. Performing alongside Jennifer Lopez, a fellow pop star who has since gone through a cheating scandal and breakup with a high profile professional athlete, Shakira reminded everyone of her immense talent, and why she has been an international heart throb for the last twenty years. Well, everyone except Gerard Piquet apparently.
While it’s a dark day for Shakira and her relationship, it's a bright day for many a’ man around the world as their celebrity crush from the last two decades might be infinitesimally more attainable. And they know they wouldn’t mess it up like Gerard Pique.
Massive Chinese Sinkhole is Hiding a Prehistoric Forest
Published 3 years ago in Wow
A few weeks ago, Chinese scientists from the Institute of Karst Geology of the China Geological Survey in China reported a startling discovery: a massive sinkhole, 632 feet in depth and over 1000 feet in length, housing a prehistoric forest relatively untouched by time.
The sinkhole itself is a self-contained ecosystem, with towering, ancient trees over 130 feet tall and with a rich understory complete with grasses taller than a person. To add to the Jurassic Park-esque discovery, the sinkhole further contains three entrances to a network of caves that lead even deeper into the complex geological system of southern China.
Perhaps most interesting is the prospect of undiscovered species residing in what is, essentially, a time capsule. Giant sinkholes of this size and biological density have been known to provide refuge for species undiscovered or thought extinct.
And the fact that it looks like something out of a fantasy novel.
Chen Lixin, who led the expedition team, told Xinhua News Agency “I wouldn’t be surprised to know that there are species found in these caves that have never been reported or described by science until now."
While no species have yet been reported, scientists have only begun to scratch the surface of the ecosystem present inside the immense, subterranean oasis. Indeed, sinkholes of this scale and nature have been known to harbor utterly bizarre pockets of biological diversity -- with one such sinkhole in Texas boasting a completely self-contained ecosystem dominated by a tropical fern native to south and central America.
