Man slips and falls into pond while escaping charging cattle
The animals chased the man as he ran from the spot
The internet is filled with hilarious videos and now one such clip showing a man having a great fall after being chased by cattle is doing rounds online.
The video which has accumulated around 40,000 views so far captured a man, dressed in a t-shirt and shorts, taking a stroll around a meadow while cattle were grazing in the field. Moments later, the animals were seen chasing the man as he ran from the spot in an attempt to escape.
The man tumbled in the field quite a few times before he hilariously slipped and fell into a pond. In between all of this, a little dog was also seen running along with the person.
At the end of the clip, the man stepped out of the pond and did not seem injured. Rather, he was seen hilariously laughing and looking for his slippers in the water. The video was shot in Brazil.
One internet user jokingly wrote: “Don’t play with the cows.” Another said, “You play stupid games and you win stupid prizes. Cows kill more people every year than you would even think!” — ndtv.com

Message in bottle floats from Canada to Ireland in 13 years
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

Woman earns world record for collection of 15,485 egg cups
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.
