Angela Nikolau, 33, and her beau — who goes by Ivan “Vanya” Beerkus on social media but was identified as Ivan Kuznetsov, 32, by sources — were carrying a banner reading “when the power of love beats the love of power the world knows peace.”

The banner’s message is a slightly modified version of a quote frequently misattributed to guitar legend Jimi Hendrix, which was actually spoken by 19th-century British politician William Gladstone..

The couple of done this before and they’ve been seen actually on a Netflix documentary soaring to massive heights.

Police have arrested,l them, the nation was captivated by this Daredevil stunt and now the investigations continuing as to how exactly this happened. In the meantime when it was unfolding live on TV people weren’t sure if it was some sort of a protest, a political message, or as it turned out a kiss scene around the world at the highest spot in New York City with helicopters circling. The love may have abounded but now charges a weight the daredevils who documented their entire ordeal during wind and 100° temperatures in the big apple.

THE RETURN–AND DESTRUCTION–OF ANOTHER MONOLITH IN WILDERNESS

Las Vegas police said on X that members of its search and rescue unit found the otherworldly object over the weekend near Gass Peak, part of the vast Desert National Wildlife Refuge where bighorn sheep and desert tortoises can be found roaming. At 6,937 feet (2,114 meters), it is among the highest peaks in the area north of Las Vegas.

After large pool of human blood found in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, police and community seek answers

A 4-by-7-foot pool of blood was found in the parking lot exit of Silver Spring Courtyards retirement center Saturday morning around 7:15 a.m. Another pool of blood was only feet away in the grass. Police also located a pair of black Rayban prescription glasses near the area, a new piece of potential evidence.

“We have, at this time, been able to account for all the residents of the retirement center,” the chief added. “There was nobody found and there were no other signs other than the pair of glasses.”

The question remaining for neighbors: Is it a crime scene? Or the scene of a serious accident, in a typically safe neighborhood?

“I’ve felt nothing but safe here,” Kenes said, explaining his daily walks through his community.

Officials are trying to narrow down an 8-hour window, believing the incident happened between 11 p.m. Friday and 7 a.m. Saturday.

A Florida county is under quarantine due to the discovery of a fast-growing population of invasive giant African land snails.

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) confirmed there were giant African land snails in the New Port Richey area of Pasco County on June 23, according to FDACS’ website.

IS IT CAKE? Man arrested for Mona Lisa stunt

While we used the image from MR. BEAN for this story, it was not him.. Instead this Mona Lisa attack involved cake!

FROM THE AFP REPORTING:

A 36-year-old man has been arrested and placed in psychiatric care after he smeared a glass screen encasing the Mona Lisa with cake, prosecutors said Monday, in a purported protest against artists not focusing enough on “the planet”.
Officials at the Louvre Museum in Paris, where the enigmatic portrait holds pride of place, declined to comment on the bizarre incident on Sunday, which was captured on several phones and circulated widely on social media.
The treasured work by Leonardo da Vinci, which has been the target of vandalism attempts in the past, was unharmed thanks to its bulletproof glass case.
A Twitter user identified as Lukeee posted a video showing a museum employee wiping a mess off the glass and another showing a man dressed in white being escorted away by security guards.
“A man dressed as an old lady jumps out of a wheelchair and attempted to smash the bulletproof glass of the Mona Lisa. Then proceeds to smear cake on the glass and throws roses everywhere, all before being tackled by security,” Lukeee wrote.
Speaking French, the man says: “There are people who are destroying the Earth… All artists, think about the Earth. That’s why I did this. Think of the planet.”

A hungry hungry hippo and lots more!

ZOO ANIMALS RELEASED INTO THE STREETS IN THE NATION OF GEORGIA AFTER FLOODING HITS.. Not on purpose..

Michael Birnbaum filed his dispatch with the WASHINGTON POST about the moment in strange history:

Massive flooding in Tbilisi killed at least three zookeepers and eight others Sunday, as a hippopotamus, a lion and wolves roamed the streets.

Portions of the central city were on lockdown as police tried to locate zoo animals that had escaped.

The story sounds humorous.. But there have already been almost a dozen people confirmed dead, though the article did not detail whether it was the flood that did it or the animals..

More from the POST:

“I can’t imagine this tragedy,” said Tbilisi Zoo spokeswoman Mzia Sharashidze. “Almost the whole zoo is underwater.”

She said tigers, hyenas and eight lions had disappeared, among many other animals. Six of 17 penguins were saved; the rest washed away. One crocodile was captured; the other was in sight of zoo workers, but they were unable to reach it as of midafternoon Sunday.
