“No Privacy During Pregnancy”

Not everyone gives birth in the hospital, but one Russian tourist has upped the ante on water births. She took a dip in the Red Sea to give birth to her baby with her doctor and husband right beside her.

The unnamed woman gave birth right off the coast of resort town, Dahab in Egypt. Pictures taken by another tourist from a hotel balcony show the baby still attached to its umbilical chord with the placenta in a plastic bowl. You can see mom and dad in their bathing suits looking happy and excited about the successful birth.

The photos went viral on Facebook with some users praising the “beauty” and “easiness” on the birth. The family has not been named and no word on the baby’s gender or condition.

“Elsa to the Rescue”

With the recent wintery weather the north east has been getting, some often wonder who ticked off Frozen‘s Princess Elsa. Well, one drag queen dressed as the Disney princess didn’t seem all too upset to help out struggling police officers in Boston.

Elsa, who’s been identified as Boston attorney Jason Triplett, was enjoying a night out with fellow queens at neighborhood bar, The Gallows. Footage of Triplett helping out the cops was taken by Christopher B. Haynes, who says Triplett joked, “I wanted to blend in tonight so I threw this on.” Well there was no blending in when the Boston Police wagon got stuck in the snow during the most recent nor’easter. Elsa jumped in to single handedly push the wagon out of the snow.

“Trail Blazing Via Blimp”

A blimp took a water skier to new lengths as it towed her for 6.9 miles across Lake Elsignore in California. Kari McCollum broke a Guinness World Record for the tow, beating out the previous record of five miles towed by blimp. The event sponsors, T-Mobile and AirSign, tried breaking two other records for largest number of people skiing under a blimp and fastest text sent from someone skiing behind a blimp, but no such luck with the text and due to weather conditions, they didn’t even bother to try largest group.

“Meteorologist on a Mission”

A weatherman who legally changed his name to Meteorologist Drew Anderson wants to run for Congress in Pennsylvania. He’s currently collecting signatures to get on the Republican primary ballot. He’d then run against U.S. Rep. Lloyd Smucker. Meteorologist says he wants to be “the loudest and the biggest voice for science in Washington.” In case you were wondering, yes his name on the ballot would in fact read Meteorologist Drew Anderson.

“Faster Than a Cannonball”

Shooting a human out of a cannon ball may be something you’d think you can only see in video games, but “veteran performer” David Smith Jr. has done it twice and this second time he’s beat his own record. Smith is known as “The Bullet” and just broke the Guinness World Record for human cannonball distance when he was launched 194 feet and eight inches into the air from a cannon. The event was modeled after the forthcoming pirate-themed Xbox game “Sea of Thieves.” His last attempt in 2013 had him 193 feet and eight-point-eight inches in the air. His latest launch was sponsored by Xbox and livestreamed on their Mixer Xbobx Channel.
