Mummified ‘aliens’ discovered in mass grave

Bizarre ‘alien’ corpses have been found in a previously undiscovered tomb.

Some experts believe the mummified remains could be concrete evidence of a newly undiscovered species or even of alien life.

The bodies were found in a tomb near the Nazca Lines in southern Peru, South America. Several of the corpses have three-fingered hands and oddly shaped heads.

DNA samples have been sent for analysis and while some of the tissue has been deemed unfit for testing, results from others have now been returned.

In a blow to conspiracy theorists, however, it emerged that the tissue from the bizarre looking creatures is 100 percent human.

A report from the Paleo DNA lab at Lakehead University in Ontario, Canada, claimed: “The evidence suggests the source of DNA from the biological material from the cranial brain and the bone extracted from the hand belongs to homo sapiens (humans).”

Carbon dating of the bodies has revealed they were alive between 245AD and 410AD. And despite their bizarre appearance, experts believe the remains could have been tampered with to make them look like alien life forms.

Giant Transformers made from rubbish

One pair who see nothing rubbish about rubbish are Yu Zhilin and Yu Lingyun. The farmers-turned-artists have made a real name for themselves by creating sculptures from rubbish — like giant replicas of various Transformers characters crafted from scrap metal.

Yu Zhilin and his son Yu Lingyun have been making incredible scrap metal sculptures in their home of Hunan, China, for nearly a decade. Having no real experience with sculpture making, they began by building models of Transformers out of old car parts, some as tall as 50 feet. They’ve since moved on to doing their own custom designs, including giant metal trash birds.

“Working together has been beneficial to our relationship as father and son,” said Yu Zhilin, “It makes me happy that my son helps me. I want to raise him so that he will be even better than me.”

Gold-topped bagel

A New York hotel announced the return of one of its most famous limited-time menu items — a gold-topped bagel with a $1,000 price tag.

The pricey bagel’s toppings include goji berry infused Riesling jelly, gold leaves and Alba white truffle cream cheese.

“Pound for pound, the white truffle is the second most expensive food in the world, next to caviar,” the hotel said.

The hefty price tag includes tax and gratuity, the hotel said. All proceeds from sales of the bagels will be donated to the Holy Apostles Soup Kitchen.

The bagels will only be available from November 1, until December 15, and interested guests are being instructed to order their decadent breakfast foods 24 hours in advance.
