Going home: Dogs are loyal creatures, and Maru the bullmastiff is no exception. Born in a kennel in the Siberian city of Novosibirsk, she moved to Krasnoyarsk, 800km to the east, when she was purchased by a woman. Unfortunately, the woman had allergies, and she called the kennel's owner, Alla Morozova, who arranged accompaniment for Maru to come back to the kennel by train. But Maru had other ideas. She jumped from the train when it was 200km from her owner's home and tried to walk back. Maru was found in an industrial section of Krasnoyarsk, close to the house where she had lived. Sea of rock: When sailing a catamaran in the open ocean, sailors expect to see nothing but vast stretches of water. So a couple from Australia, Michael Hoult and Larissa Brill, were surprised to find themselves in a sea of rock during their trip to Fiji. The rock was pumice which most likely had floated up to the surface after an underwater volcano erupted. When they discovered it, the expanse of rock was a few inches thick and covered the ocean as far as they could see. Their catamaran slowed down considerably while navigating through this “island” of porous rock. Slow but scary: A roller coaster in Japan is not very fast moving but it gives its riders quite a thrill. It's called the SkyCycle and it is located in the Washuzan Highland amusement park in the city of Okayama. It's different from most roller coasters in that riders sit on a twin bicycle-like apparatus and must pedal to move along the track which has no guardrails. The track doesn't have huge drops but it is 180m above the ground, overlooking islands and cityscapes. The ride only takes about three minutes but seems much longer because it's so scary.

Cow therapy: When you think about cuddling with an animal, usually a dog or a cat comes to mind. Now there is a place where people can go cuddle with a cow. That place is on a farm in the state of New York USA. Called Mountain House Farm, it is owned by Suzanne Vullers and her husband. For an hourly rate, guests can hug and cuddle with one of the farm's two therapy cows, Bonnie and Bella. Vullers, who is from the Netherlands, also provides horses for cuddling but she was aware of cow cuddling in Europe. She decided to extend the practice to the farm's bovines which are gentle and peaceful.

Did you know? Careful eating: People who have celiac disease must eat a glutenfree diet. That's because their digestive systems overreact to gluten, a protein found in some grains, causing such symptoms as pain, nausea and heartburn. Surgery needed: Pain on the right side of the abdomen could mean that someone has appendicitis, an inflammation of the appendix. Sometimes the problem can be treated with antibiotics but often an operation to remove the organ is required. Long neck: The Qijianglong was a large, long-necked dinosaur that lived millions of years ago during the Late Jurassic period. Fossils were found by construction workers in 2006 in the Qijiang District of China. Big winner: Claude Monet, the famous French painter (18401926), had financial struggles. However, the tables turned when he won the national French lottery in 1890. After that, he was able to afford to continue painting. Feelings: Emoticons use keyboard characters (punctuation marks, letters, and numbers) to make images that convey an emotion. An example is :-). An emoji, however, uses a drawing or cartoon to convey a feeling or idea.
On the Lighter Side Which building brags about how tall it is? The Skite Tower.

Her first message to me: “Whereisthespacebar?” My friend and I often laugh about how competitive we are. But I laugh more. What word in the dictionary is always spelled incorrectly? “Incorrectly.”
