WEIRD STUFF: Dumped sex doll mistaken for dead body

Dumped sex doll mistaken for dead body

A 'dead body' dumped in a rubbish bin turned out to be a sex doll.

Police were called out to a property in Big Wave Bay, Hong Kong, after the 'corpse' was discovered in a bin bag wrapped up with gaffer tape on Monday.

Stunned locals had been sharing theories about who may have been responsible for dumping the cadaver, before the tense situation then took a "hilarious" turn when it was revealed that the body was actually a life-size sex doll.

The woman who first spotted the doll claims that she saw a "legit body" sitting upright "at the bottom of the bin" before the truth was revealed.

She said: "I went down there and when I arrived there they were just about to open up the bag, and then when they opened it up - with locals and people standing around - you could see the shoes ... then the silicon and then everyone just started laughing."

Obama had tonnes of aliens documents

Records from Barack Obama's tenure as US President contain thousands of pages relating to aliens.

The Barack Obama Presidential Library in Chicago has revealed that it stocks "3,440 pages and 26,271 electronic files" about the prospect of extraterrestrials following a Freedom of Information request.

Obama hinted last year that the US government was aware of the possibility that aliens could exist. He told chat show host James Corden: "When it comes to aliens, there are some things I just can't tell you on air.

"But what is true is that there is footage and records of objects in the sky that we don't know exactly what they are.

"How they move, their trajectory. They did not have an easily explainable pattern. So I think that people still take that seriously and try to figure out what that is."

Seagulls can remember where they ate their favourite dish

Seagulls are capable of memorising where they have pinched food from humans and will return to a particular spot in the hope of getting another meal, a study in Scotland has found.

The researchers used GPS technology to tag seagulls and track their flying patterns and locations with some birds flying around 100 miles from the Inner Hebrides to the Wee Hurrie. They also found a group of seagulls who travel to a specific chip shop in the town of Troon along the western coast of Scotland.

The team discovered that the seagulls use a range of habitats, including grassland, farmland, and urban areas, which is expected for a species that can survive on a range of food like fish and chips, earthworms, and freshly caught fish from the ocean.

Dr Nina O'Hanlon, the author of the study, said: "We downloaded data from at least five individuals at the chip shop. Some of the individuals were making repeated visits."

The study occurred as part of efforts to understand why there has been a decline in the amount of herring gulls, with numbers down by 48 per cent since 1986.
