Keepers at the San Diego Zoo checked the weight of a one-month-old female aye-aye today (Oct. 15), under the watchful eye of her mother. After distracting mom for a short time with a treat of honey, keepers were able to locate the baby in the nest box, reach in and scoop her up, so they could check her weight. This is an important procedure that is done frequently when the baby is young, to ensure that she is healthy and growing properly. The baby weighed 3.6 ounces at birth and weighed in at 9.03 ounces today. The weight gain is a sign that the mother aye-aye is doing a great job of caring for her adorable baby. The young aye-aye’s name is Fady (pronounced FAW DEE), which means taboo in Malagasy.

Hero Thai man helps 2 tourists stuck in mud
Great video, two tourists get stuck in the mud, and a local man comes to help them get free. And after helping them he just walks off, doesn't ask for anything, just happy he helped.
He even let them climb on his body to escape! Incredible!
We need more men like this guy!

Why Airplane Windows Have that Little Hole in the Bottom
I've always wondered why there is that tiny little hole in the bottom of airplane windows. It turns out it's got a couple of purposes!
Sourced the information from airplane manuals and airmechanic forums. One could make the argument that it's for keeping structural integrity on the outer most pane, but I think the way I described it implies that.

Racist black woman abuses Muslim passengers on a London bus calling them 'Isis bitches'
And we wonder why the world hates us so much. Idiots like this are a good example.
Immigrant on Immigrant abuse. This racist black woman is doing to the Muslims the exact thing that was done to her parents and grandparents in the 40s and 50s. When will humanity learn!
