Fainting canine: Emma Clayton and Oliver Broomhead of Sheffield, England, have a unique dog in their family. The cocker spaniel named Peter has a rare condition in which his muscles tense up, causing him to fall over. This happens when he gets excited about something, such as chasing ducks and squirrels. The couple has taken the dog to many veterinarians and animal specialists, but the condition continues to be a mystery. They assure onlookers who witness Peter's fainting spells that he does not appear to be in any pain and that he comes out of it just fine, with tail wagging. Wacky car rentals: When people rent vehicles or use a carsharing service, the logical reason for doing so is to travel from one location to another. However, car rental agencies in Japan found that some customers were putting very little mileage on their rented car and they wanted to find out why. It turns out that people have many more reasons for renting a vehicle than simply driving somewhere. Renters were using vehicles to take a nap, eat lunch, get work done on their laptops, or make phone calls. They do so because car rentals are usually affordable and provide a quiet space. Odd name: A couple from Indonesia gave their baby boy a unique and unusual name: Google. Parents Andi Cahya Saputra and Ella Karina decided to give their child a technology-related name with the idea that he would grow up helping others. At first, their friends and relatives wondered about the decision, some thinking that the couple's hidden agenda was to get compensation from the technology giant. However, that was not the case and the name eventually started to grow on their friends. Baby Google does not have a middle or surname. Good-looking goat: Who would have thought that a goodlooking goat could garner widespread attention? That's what happened when Ahmad M Fadzir of Perak in Malaysia posted photos of his newly purchased goat, Ramos, on social media. The goat is so cute, with his goatee beard and blonde bangs, that the photos went viral. Ramos seems to love being a celebrity and even appears to pose for the camera with a smile on his face. A few people asked Fadzir if he would sell Ramos, but he declined. Instead, he offered them another goat from his herd.

Falling water: Niagara Falls, which is on the border between the province of Ontario in Canada and the state of New York USA, is made up of three cascades. The largest of these is called Horseshoe Falls, named for its shape. Main stage: The Nippon Budokan arena in Tokyo was built in 1964 as a site for judo in the Olympic Games. Since then, it has become a venue for musicians, such as Cheap Trick, Bob Dylan, and Eric Clapton. Small desert: Measuring only 2.59 square kilometres, the Carcross Desert in the Yukon, in northern Canada, is thought to be the world's smallest desert. In winter, its sand dunes are covered with snow. Flavourful pepper: The Aleppo pepper, named after the Syrian city of Aleppo, is a mild but flavourful, burgundy-coloured pepper with a heat that slowly builds. It has a slight cumin-like taste.
