Nature Or Supernatural: The Moving Rocks

It all happened at the Dead Valley in California. We almost didn't see anything else in the area but a few rocks which is out of place.

The mystery part is that the rocks in this area can move by itself, leaving a long winding trail behind as if they are alive.

If nobody lives there, even if there are, who would do such a thing as to move the rocks around leaving a suspicious trail?

Some said it's due to the abrupt temperature change at night where the land frost over. In the morning when temperature rises, the land expands thus pushing the rocks a little.

Over the years of frequent expansions and contractions, the rocks were pushed around far enough to leave a long winding trail as if some supernatural forces had done so. Especially at a place called the Dead Valley.

Zeno, True Legend of Artificial Intelligent

Zeno is a 17" robot, created as child's learning aid. It took Hanson Robotics and the team 5 years to develop and costs tens of thousands of dollars to make. It really sounds like the movie AI (artificial intelligent) to me. Cause Zeno is able to recognized faces and names or even built a relationship with you. Amazing.

Multy Legged Duck And Duckling: Is This A Sign

Similar cases, but worlds apart. These mutated ducks are from farms, has anyone ever curious why mutation happens there? Could it be anything to do with the feed? Or is it just evolution?

Monster Spider Web Sprawling 200 yard Trail

The monster web was found in the North Texas Park. It was white at first but not long after, millions of mosquitoes caught in those web that turn the web brown. The massive mosquito trap has attracted visitors to the park while others kept away from it.

Some entomologists believe that it was the work of the social cobweb spiders but others think it was unusual. Professor John Jackman Of Texas A&M University said that he cannot be certain until samples were sent to them.

Park rangers expect the web to last till fall as the spider will start dying off.
