World\u2019s Largest Corpse Flower That Smells Like \u2018Rotting Meat\u2019 to Bloom for First Time at Toronto Zoo<\/p>\n

For the first time ever, the corpse flower will bloom at the Toronto Zoo, with officials projecting the majority of the plant\u2019s specimens to bloom in the next two weeks. The corpse flower has been recorded as having the world\u2019s tallest bloom. It is also known for its tremendous pungent smell; Toronto Zoo officials have likened it to that of rotting meat. One of the six specimens of the smelly plant, under the care of the Zoo\u2019s horticulture division, has begun its early bloom \u2013 four years ahead of schedule.<\/p>\n

            A co-owner of a lobster company in Maine was just busted for embezzling approximately $1.5 million worth of lobsters to sell on the black market.\u00a0 The other owners eventually caught him . . . and now there’s a criminal investigation and they’re suing him.<\/p>\n

            A woman who worked behind a grocery store deli counter in Ohio took about three to five slices of meat every day for five years . . . which added up to about $9,200 worth of meat.\u00a0 So she was just fired . . . and she could be facing theft charges.<\/p>\n

            A pair of thieves stole a 16-foot-long spool of turf from in front of a California woman’s home and the theft was caught on a neighbor’s security camera. Madonna Hanes said the 650-pound spool of turf was dropped off at her home in San Diego by a contractor who intended to return and use it to landscape her yard.<\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            A neighbor’s surveillance camera recorded footage of two men pulling up in a Nissan Altima and attempting to shove the spool into their trunk.<\/p>\n

            The video shows the men drive off with most of the turf dragging behind their car. Hanes said the thieves left a trail of turf that she was able to follow before it vanished.<\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            The homeowner said she is hoping the footage will lead to the thieves being identified.<\/p>\n

            A 12-year-old girl in New York named Delaney Unger got bone cancer last year in her left knee, and had to have her knee amputated.<\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            But she was a dancer, and knee replacement wasn’t a good option because she was still growing.\u00a0 So doctors took the bottom part of her leg from the knee down, and attached it at her hip facing BACKWARDS.<\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            So now her calf is the front part of her leg . . . her ankle is\u00a0her knee joint\u00a0with her left foot still attached and facing BACKWARDS . . . while the lower part of her left leg is a prosthetic.\u00a0 It sounds confusing, but she wears a cover over the backwards foot, and can do everything she could do before the surgery.<\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            Her mother Melissa and her doctor Fazel Khan are also in this clip.<\/em><\/p>\n

            WIPING THE SLATE CLEAN ON TOILET PAPER:<\/u><\/strong>
            \n<\/u>The classic debate over which is the correct way to put toilet paper on the holder has been settled. Some say \u2018over\u2019.\u00a0 Some say \u2018under\u2019.\u00a0 Some say \u2018personal preference\u2019.<\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            After a study found there can be as many as 19 groups of bacteria on the doors, floors, faucet handles, soap dispensers, and toilets of public restrooms, it has been determined that\u2026brace yourself\u2026OVER is the correct method of installing toilet paper on the holder.<\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            Why?\u00a0 Picture it: you\u2019re in the bathroom and reach for the TP and the loose end is dangling under the roll. As you reach for it, your fingers, hand, and even the toilet paper graze the wall behind it. Now imagine this happens to everyone who uses that same roll.\u00a0 And remember, not everyone\u2019s hands are clean, so their germs are more likely to be on the tissue that you are about to use if it is installed on the roll \u2018under\u2019 style.<\/p>\n

            \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

            Here’s How Much We Spend Eating Out and Grabbing Coffee Every Year<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

            A new study looked at how much the average person is spending on two things:\u00a0 Going out to eat . . . and grabbing drinks like coffee and smoothies.\u00a0 And, spoiler alert:\u00a0 We’re spending a LOT.<\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            The average person eats at a restaurant or orders takeout or delivery 2.4 times a week, and spends an average of $19.58 each time.\u00a0 That adds up to about 125 times a year, and costs a total of $2,443.<\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            And we buy drinks like coffee or smoothies 2.5 times a week, at an average of $3.72 cents each time.\u00a0 That adds up to 130 times a year, and costs us $484.<\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            So when you add it up, we’re spending $2,927-a-year at restaurants and coffee shops.\u00a0 Which means in the last five years, you’ve dropped $14,635.<\/p>\n

                      At least 18 people have died from the hurricane so far in North and South Carolina.<\/p>\n

                      And around 740,000 homes and businesses still don’t have power.<\/p>\n

                      Florence was downgraded to a tropical depression as the winds slowed down early on Sunday . . . but that doesn’t mean the rain and flooding are going to stop.<\/p>\n

                      And that’s why the National Weather Service called Florence a “storm of a lifetime.”<\/p>\n

                      It’s massive, it moved slowly to keep hitting the same areas over and over, it traveled inland, which caused extreme flooding . . . and it’s still going strong even now that the winds have slowed down.<\/p>\n

                            Carrie Underwood Had Three Miscarriages in Two Years<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

                            Carrie Underwood<\/strong>\u00a0has said that 2017 was a really tough year, and now we know why. In addition to that horrible fall she suffered outside her Nashville area home, the superstar opened up to\u00a0CBS Sunday Morning\u00a0<\/em>yesterday (Sunday, September 16th) about having suffered three miscarriages over the last two years, including one early in 2018.<\/p>\n

                             <\/p>\n

                            An emotional Carrie told\u00a0Tracy Smith<\/strong>\u00a0about the painful experiences and how she eventually questioned God. She said, \u201cI had always been afraid to be angry because we are so blessed, and my son, Isaiah, is the sweetest thing. And he\u2019s the best thing in the world. And I\u2019m like, \u2018If we can never have any other kids, that\u2019s OK, because he\u2019s amazing.\u2019 And I have this amazing life. Like, really, what can I complain about? I can\u2019t. I have an incredible husband, incredible friends, an incredible job, an incredible kid. Can I be mad? No. And I got mad.”<\/p>\n

                             <\/p>\n

                            Of course, Carrie is now pregnant with her second child with husband\u00a0Mike Fisher<\/strong>. While she hasn’t announced a due date or the baby’s gender, she is waiting to start her new\u00a0Cry Pretty 360\u00a0<\/em>tour until May. Her new album, also called\u00a0Cry Pretty<\/em>, was released on Friday (September 14th).<\/p>\n

                             <\/p>\n

                            During some lighter moments from the interview, they visited her hometown of Checotah, Oklahoma . . . and they talked to her mom who admitted that she had low expectations on the whole\u00a0“American Idol”<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0thing.<\/p>\n

                             <\/p>\n

                            She was just hoping the show would give Carrie “face recognition” so she could get job at a news station in Tulsa, Oklahoma.\u00a0 You may recall Carrie majored in journalism in college hoping to someday work in TV news.<\/p>\n
