An elderly man guards a North American mystery. Decades ago, he fled across the border from his home, and began to amass a collection of old school buses. Acting mostly alone, and fed by impulse and fear, he said he needed them on account of their reinforced steel roofs — and he began to dig. In a massive pit in the ground, he began to form a mysterious labyrinth that few have ever been able to see. But this is no mere hoarder. So why did he take on this colossal project, and what is he hiding inside? Read on to find out what exactly Bruce Beach is up to.   Continue reading “This 83-Year-Old Decided to Stash 42 Buses Underground”

That night, Penn was in need of mental health help. Clearly delusional, he had called 911 telling police that he had taken some pills and said a friend let some people into his home who wanted to kill him. Six officers showed up.   Continue reading “Cops Choke Handcuffed Man as They Taser Him in the Testicles Until He Passes Out”

(Reuters) In April 2008, former Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez dispatched Justice Ministry officials to visit counterparts in the Chinese technology hub of Shenzhen.

Once in Shenzhen, though, the Venezuelans realized a card could do far more than just identify the recipient.  Continue reading “Venezuela is rolling out a new ID card manufactured in China that can track, reward, and punish citizens”
