He shared the photos of his eight-legged roomie on Facebook.<\/p>\n As if it wasn’t creepy enough that he’d just been casually living with the arachnid, he announced he’d been ‘watching it grow’. He has been keeping an eye on the creature in his home in Cairns, in Queensland, where he’s watched it grow into what he calls a ‘mighty huntsman’.<\/p>\n Not only do they travel extremely quickly, they often ‘use a springing jump while running, and walk on walls and even on ceilings’.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u27a2 A 21-year-old man in Florida named\u00a0Chris Nikic just\u00a0became<\/a>\u00a0the first person with Down syndrome to complete an Ironman race.\u00a0 That’s a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike ride, and then a full marathon.\u00a0 (The people\u00a0talking<\/a>\u00a0in the clip are Chris and his father Nik.)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n TODAY IS\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n _____________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n COUNTRY MUSIC NOTE<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Dolly Parton<\/strong>‘s “Here You Come Again” began a five-week run at Number One in 1977.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n _____________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n FOUR RANDOM FACTS <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n GOOD NEWS <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Dogs don\u2019t care about the borders between countries. A German shepherd named Diamond recently escaped from her family\u2019s home in New Brunswick, and crossed the border into the U.S.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Paryse Michaud owns the Diamond and says her dad was watching the dog while she and her family were out of town.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The 17-month-old dog escaped through an open garage door and ran away. Michaud put out a plea for help on Facebook, and started getting reports from people saying they saw Diamond cross into Maine via the International Bridge in Fort Kent.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A family friend living in Maine was able to take custody of Diamond after she was tracked down inside a resident\u2019s garage. Diamond\u2019s family was then able to coordinate a hand-off at the U.S.-Canada border, and the dog was reunited with her family.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n BIRTHDAYS <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n [60] Julianne Moore, actress<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [60] Daryl Hannah, actress<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [52] Brendan Fraser, actor (\u201cThe Mummy\u201d films, \u201cCrash\u201d) COMING UP\u2026 \u201cNo Sudden Move\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [41] Tiffany Haddish, actress<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n LAW & DISORDER<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Three suspects have been arrested in connection with a huge robbery from a castle vault in the German city of Dresden last year.<\/p>\n Around 100 pieces of priceless treasure were stolen in November 2019 when thieves gained access to the Green Vault, one of the largest collections of masterpieces in Europe.<\/p>\n Authorities said they were searching for the missing treasures.
