7-year-old ‘spiderman’ impresses viewers with climbing skills
A video of a seven-year-old footballer not giving up while trying to climb a pillar has left many internet users amused.
Though he slipped several times, the little boy was able to make it to the top and remembered to celebrate the ‘achievement’ as soon as he landed on the ground.
Within 24 hours of being uploaded, the clip had gathered over 100 thousand views. While several users mistook the child in the clip to be a girl, some in the comment section soon identified him as Arat Hosseini, a Liverpool Academy footballer.
Arat was no stranger to social media and videos of his exercises and stunts performed under the supervision of his father had made a mark with Internet users.
The video was originally posted on Arat’s Instagram page in 2018 and captioned “Spiderman.” – ndtv.com
A message in a bottle launched by visitors to Newfoundland’s Bell Island was found washed up on an Irish beach nearly 13 years later, after apparently crossing the Atlantic Ocean.
Kate Gay said she was walking a Dingle Peninsula beach this week when she spotted the wine bottle with a sheet of paper inside.
Gay showed the bottle to members of Creative Ireland NeartnaMacharaí during a meeting at her house that evening, and they broke the bottle open.
The note, written by a couple named Brad and Anita, was dated Sept. 12, 2012. The letter described the couple’s day trip to Bell Island.
There was a phone number on the letter, but there was no answer when group members tried to call.
The Maharees Heritage and Conservation group posted photos of the bottleto social media on Monday, and within an hour group members were messaging with Anita.
Group member Martha Farrell said Anita reported that she and Brad had married in 2016 and are still together to this day. -upi.com
A Spanish woman who has been collecting egg cups for over 50 years earned a Guinness World Record when her collection was tallied at 15,485 items.
María José Fuster recruited two witnesses to help her tally her collection at a community center in her hometown of Campo, Spain.
Fuster’s collection includes multiple patterns, colors, designs and even novelty cups bearing the images of characters including Superman, Betty Boop and Garfield.
Fuster maintains two blogs related to her hobby — one to catalog each piece, and one to list the names of the people who have donated egg cups to her collection.
Some of her most prized egg cups, about 1,143 of them, are currently on display at a local museum.
