An unusual visitor has been hanging out in the St. Lawrence River for the past three years:\u00a0A narwhal, more than 1,000 kilometres south of its usual range.<\/p>\n

But the lone narwhal is not alone \u2014 it appears he has been adopted by a band of belugas.<\/p>\n

The narwhal\u00a0\u2014\u00a0thought to be a juvenile male because of its half-metre-long tusk\u00a0\u2014\u00a0was filmed in July\u00a0playing among a pod of young belugas, thought to be mostly or all males.<\/p>\n

The video was taken by a non-profit group dedicated to whale research.<\/p>\n

Narwhals live in\u00a0the icy waters of the\u00a0Arctic, including those surrounding parts of Canada, Norway, Greenland and Russia.\u00a0They typically don’t range any farther south than the southern tip of Baffin Island. One researcher says “I don’t think it should surprise people,” he said. “I think it shows\u00a0\u2026 the compassion and the openness of other species to welcome another member that may not look or act the same. And maybe that’s a good lesson for everyone.”<\/em><\/p>\n

People in a town in England called Ipswich have been freaking out, because there’s a loudspeaker that randomly plays an evil sounding recording\u00a0of a little girl singing nursery rhymes.<\/p>\n

And it turns out it was being caused by SPIDERS.\u00a0 They were walking across the motion sensors of a security system on a private property, and triggering a recording meant to scare away thieves.<\/p>\n

Ryan Gosling\u00a0visited a Toronto coffee shop that had garnered Internet fame for its cutouts of … Ryan Gosling.\u00a0Grinder Coffee\u00a0kicked off a 10-day\u00a0Twitter campaign on September 3rd\u00a0<\/sup>in the hope of getting Gosling to visit while he was in town for the\u00a0Toronto International Film Festival<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Grinder\u2019s Twitter account posted shots of a faux-Gosling enjoying coffee at the caf\u00e9 and touring other Toronto hot spots. Each tweet also included info on why he should visit Grinder.<\/p>\n

Gosling got wind of the campaign and showed up in the flesh the next day, even posing for a photo with owner\u00a0Joelle Murray. She told reporters that Gosling\u2019s mother had encouraged him to stop by.<\/p>\n

Sir Elton John surprised employees at Toronto record shop Sonic Boom on Tuesday when he strolled into the store and bought a number of vinyl albums.<\/p>\n

He agreed to snap a photo with two employees.<\/p>\n

On Instagram, the store wrote that John might be “the only knight we’ll ever have in Sonic Boom history.” John is in the midst of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour, which rolls into Toronto next week. His husband, David Furnish, is also from the city.<\/p>\n

The musician has fostered a reputation for collecting vinyl in recent years.<\/p>\n

In March 2017, he stopped by a small Vancouver record shop where the store’s owner said he spent about $1,400.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Military’s Method for Falling Asleep in Two Minutes<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

A\u00a0book\u00a0way back in 1981 revealed a secret method the U.S. military supposedly came up with that can put you to sleep in TWO minutes.\u00a0 Here are the five steps you need to follow.<\/p>\n

The first four are all about relaxing your body.\u00a0 Then #5 gets oddly specific about what to picture in your mind . . .<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Relax your face, including your tongue, jaw, and the muscles around your eyes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Drop your shoulders as low as they can go.\u00a0 Then relax your arms one at a time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Breathe out, and relax your chest.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

         <\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Relax your legs, starting with your thighs and then your calves.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

           <\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Picture yourself in a calm location, like lying in a canoe under a clear blue sky. . . or lying in a black velvet hammock in a dark room.\u00a0 And if you’re still not asleep, repeat the phrase “don’t think, don’t think” over and over again in your head.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

             <\/p>\n

            It might not work at first.\u00a0 But the military found that when people kept at it for six weeks, it had a 96% success rate.<\/p>\n

            An older guy in England named Eric Bogliani had a HUGE crush on his sister’s friend Elaine way back in elementary school.\u00a0 But he never said anything.<\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            He was only 7 when they first met in the 1950s, and she was 9.\u00a0 And his mom thought that was too big of an age difference.\u00a0 So she sat him down and said he wasn’t ALLOWED to have a crush on her.<\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            They’re both in their 60s now.\u00a0 So a two-year difference is nothing.<\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            Well they reconnected on Facebook a few years ago.\u00a0 And they hit it off . . . started dating . . . and recently got MARRIED.<\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            The school they both went to is now a community center that’s also a licensed wedding venue.\u00a0 So that’s where they tied the knot . . . the same place they first met almost 60 years ago.<\/p>\n

A video recorded inside the condominium building shows a rat jumping from a handrail to the fire alarm, which is triggered by the rodent’s weight. The alarm prompted an evacuation of the building, which was not on fire.
