On July 3, 2025, routine radiation checks at the Savannah River Site—a sprawling Cold War-era nuclear facility in South Carolina—revealed something straight out of a sci-fi thriller: a radioactive wasp nest perched beside waste storage tanks, emitting radiation levels ten times higher than federally permitted limits Officials labeled it “legacy contamination,” not an active leak, and swiftly zapped the nest, bagged it as radiological waste—and let everyone know there’s no exposure risk

Routine monitoring flagged more: four hot nests in total, all within the heavily contained F-Area Tank Farm. Wasps generally don’t stray far—so no danger outside the facility. Experts say the nests likely picked up radioactive sediment during cleanup ops—not an imminent health threat, but a striking reminder of lingering Cold War fallout.

In this gripping episode, we dive into a bizarre and unsettling incident out of Paterson, New Jersey. At Baladna Bakery on Main Street, two brothers—Abed and Mohammad Assad—became the targets of a violent attack by a customer furious over a sandwich they had served four years earlier. The man claimed to have been given an eggplant sandwich instead of an egg sandwich, despite an allergy, and returned in anger demanding redress.

Dive into the spectacle behind Claw King—now officially the world’s largest claw machine. Standing 17.16 ft long, nearly 13 ft tall, and over 8 ft wide, this mechanical marvel spans a massive 1,761 cubic feet, towering over its predecessor in Florida.

Built by PlayFair at the iconic TOPS viewpoint in Cebu City, Claw King isn't just a world record—it’s a vibrant symbol of Filipino creativity and cultural pride. Designed by local artist-engineer Kuya Magik, the project merges traditional perya (carnival) culture with modern entertainment to boost Cebu’s tourism and global recognition.

Measured on July 5, 2025, by Engr. Noel Aguilar Jr. to meet Guinness standards and officially certified on July 21, 2025, this feat took months of design work, 4,500+ screws, 100 meters of cabling—and just five days to assemble on site.
