Hey, guess what? Those ancient warriors were using out-of-this-world tech to get an upper hand in fights. A recent study found that an arrowhead, about 3000 years old and discovered in Switzerland, is made from meteorite. Yup, that's right. Alien metal. This isn't just stuff from sci-fi movies anymore. Researchers say that while we've seen space rock tools before, they're super rare. This is just the third time we've found something like this in Central and Western Europe.
This alien arrowhead, from the Bronze Age (800-900 BCE), was just one among a bunch found way back in the 19th century at the Mรถrigen archaeological site in Switzerland. After being put on display at a museum, some eagle-eyed researchers decided to give it a closer look with electron microscopes, X-rays, and other high-tech stuff. Turns out, this thing's got an iron-nickel-aluminum alloy that matches up with known samples from space, so they nailed it down as definitely being of extraterrestrial origin. Now, they're thinking that it was made from debris of the Kaalijarv meteorite that landed in what's now Estonia around 1500 BCE. Not a bad edge to have in a fight, right? They're now hoping to find out how many more artefacts might be made from the same meteorite iron. (Source)
๐ฅ๐ฐ Honeymoon Heroes: Couple Rescue Infants From Burning Building in Barcelona

How's this for a honeymoon memory? Rhode Island newlyweds David Squillante and Doran Smith were touring Barcelona last month when they stumbled upon a burning building. The 38-year-olds, surrounded by a panic-stricken crowd and a language barrier, decided to dash into the smoke-filled edifice. They didn't know it at the time, but they were about to become real-life superheroes.
In a twist of fate, they found themselves in a nursery filled with 15-20 sleeping infants. Ignoring the chaos and communicating through the "universal language" of urgent action, they started rescuing the babies, moving them quickly and carefully. What felt like a flash turned out to be a ten-minute operation, but in the end, every single baby was safe and sound. Once the dust settled, the couple simply continued their honeymoon as if they hadn't just saved multiple lives. Talk about humble! David Squillante was so moved by the experience, he's now considering volunteering as a firefighter back in their hometown. ๐๐ช๐ถ (Source)
๐คฆโโ๏ธ Man Bites Bulb: A Real-Life Cautionary Tale About Online Challenges

So, get this: a guy in China named Mr. Chen rocked up to the emergency room with the base of a light bulb sticking out of his mouth. Why, you ask? Well, it turns out he was trying to do some wacky internet challenge he saw online. Even the firefighters at Yuyao City Fire and Rescue Brigade were stumped when he stumbled into their station, muffled words barely escaping from behind the t-shirt covering his mouth.
Once the firefighters figured out the bright idea Mr. Chen had, they decided it was too risky to try and remove the light bulb on their own. Fearing a glass explosion in the mouth situation, they took him to Yuyao Peopleโs Hospital. There, doctors actually had to use a special mouth opener to dislocate his jaw just to get the light bulb out safely. Talk about a close call! The doc got to the root of the problem and asked Mr. Chen why he did it in the first place. His nonchalant answer? He saw someone doing it online and wanted to see if he could do it too. It's safe to say he definitely got his answer! ๐ฌ (Source)
