The pants are probably one of the strongest grips, since the other person can't pull it off as easily, like a gi in jiujitsu. This doesn't explain why they chose leather though.

Well, if memory serves, Turkish wrestling differs from Greco/Roman wrestling by each of the contestants slathering themselves in olive oil prior to the fight to make holds much more difficult - the leather pants are basically to stop the oil soaking into their clothes.

Japanese students successfully gestate a chicken egg without the shell.

Now, you may think this isn't badass, to which I say "go gently caress yourself that's awesome".

Does it effect the development of the chicken? I mean are there any physical abnormalities from this type of gestation?

An Italian bank manager who robbed from the rich to give to the poor has narrowly escaped going to prison.
Gilberto Baschiera was the bank manager in the small mountain town of Forni di Sopra, where he stole about €1m (£0.9m) over seven years.
He took small amounts from wealthy clients and transferred it to those who couldn't qualify for credit.
But he never pocketed a penny for himself - and avoided going to jail after a plea bargain with authorities.

Magnifico.

The backstory is even wilder. They were a bunch of GPS-tagged criminals on an outing at a fishmonger's hall. One of them decided to grab a couple of knives and do a terrorism, and the other dudes from his prison armed up and went after him. Wrestled him to the ground, and then the police showed up and shot him because he had a bomb (actually a fake he'd MacGyvered together using bits and pieces from the fishmongers' stalls). Think the guy with the tusk is in for murder.

In conclusion, the rehabilitation system of the U.K. is a land of contrasts.

I'm sure they must've been mentioned before but what about Cassius Clay?

No, not nee Muhammad Ali (even though he was very kick-rear end), I'm talking about his eponym, the Kentucky politician. What made him particularly bad-rear end? Well, for starters, he was an abolitionist in Kentucky from a slave-owning family. When he was able to, he immediately freed all slaves that he could under his power. This doesn't make him bad-rear end, just a good person in a time when being a good person was all too rare. No, what made him bad-rear end was his abolitionist period.

As you can imagine, being an abolitionist made you very few friends in pre-Civil war America, even less in Kentucky. This was the time when people regularly fought duels, or bludgeoned people half to death on the floor of the House of Representatives. Clay was beholden to this type of violence during a debate in Kentucky, when he was shot by a hired gun mid-debate. Now, he was not like you or me, who would have probably died, or sought medical attention. He was not even like Teddy Roosevelt, who would have continued his speech. Clay's response was to leap from the podium, chase down his would-be assassin, GOUGE HIS EYES OUT WITH A BOWIE KNIFE and throw him to what one could only assume was an incredibly unhappy death.

He was later assaulted by six brothers during another speech for abolition. Again, Clay proved to be a man of action as well as words, seeing as he managed to A) survive 6:1 odds but also B) kill one of them as well.

I also seem to remember hearing one time he was challenged to a duel, and his opponent was so scared he committed suicide instead of facing him, but alas, cannot verify that.

The standard description of cricket:

You have two sides, one out and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get the side coming in out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.

When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay all out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out.

When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game!

No, that looks about right for an animal that has evolved to attack like a battering ram. They're bulky and strong as hell. If it's wandering alone around a populated area, there's no telling what it might get up to. It definitely didn't like the look of that gate, though. Then again, might be there's something in that garden that smelled particularly appetizing.
