Invisible poisonous worms fly at 300 km/h all around us Recently many reports appeared talking about the weird creatures, the so-called skyfish. It remains unclear whether the animals are fish, birds or worms. The mysterious beings have long worm-like bodies with wide projections on their sides (like those of fish). The trouble is, they don’t live in water – they live in the air. No one has come up with a decent name for the animals as of yet. Some suggestions include “flying sticks,” “solar entities,” and “skyfish.” The first time skyfish was photographed ten years ago by a film director Jose Escamilla. He originally thought that it was a UFO but then he realized that it was some living thing moving at a very high speed. He began studying them and realized that the animals invade the space everywhere. Besides he discovered that the creatures began reproducing at a much faster rate as a result of the global warming. Without a specimen in hand to examine, it's impossible to determine whether or not skyfish are living organisms, but it's Escamilla's best guess that they are. Skyfish have only been captured on film and videotape. No one knows what they are, where they come from, but there are already specialized people – the catchers of skyfish, who mainly live in Japan. They say that their hobby is not very safe: the animals are terribly poisonous during the fall season. In Japan the skyfish are extremely fast and fly at 300 km/h. Analysis of film and video of skyfish from around the world indicate that they might range in size from just a few inches to perhaps over a hundred feet in length! How could something that large be unknown? That’s the essence of the mystery. Source: agencies

Cockroaches brutally attack old lady with her own weapon 2006/10/23 A huge explosion rocked the city of Lvov in the middle of the night. As it turned out, a 66-year-old apartment owner decided to deal a serious blow to the eternally on-going with cockroaches by spraying the entire place with large amounts of dichlorvos, a nonpersistent organophosphorous pesticide. It appears that the senior resident simply tried a little too hard, to put it lightly: the concentrated toxic fumes exceeded the reasonable norm and the poison quickly produced a reaction as soon as the woman lit a candle to reach another dark corner with the pesticide. As a result of the explosion doors and windows were knocked out and an entire apartment wall lay collapsed. On top of that many of the owner’s belongings were destroyed in the fire initiated by the powerful burst. The woman herself suffered as well and was taken to the nearby hospital in an emergency vehicle. Doctor on duty explained that the brave cockroach fighter remained in serious condition with 40% of her body covered with burns. The neighbors lamented that the insects suffered no losses what so ever. Apparently the poison blew up before they had a chance to inhale it.
