The confession of British intelligence officer Kim Philby (above), who was a Soviet double agent, has been made public
There once was a fellow named Kim
The establishment all trusted him
It’s hard to think why
As Kim was a spy

Defence Visual Information Distribution Service (a communications service for the US military) has apologised after a tweet (above) appeared to threaten people visiting Area 51 (top).

And threatened them with a big gun

China’s ‘Loch Ness Monster’ (left) turned out to be a piece of rubber

At large and free
While choosing which people should die

Are you wondering if your right ball
Is as warm as the other at all?

Najin (front) and her daughter Fatu are reportedly the last two northern white rhinos

As it seemed that no more would be born
But they may get their wish
Thanks to a petri dish
Though there’s no males around with the horn

DNA research has revealed two entirely new species of electric eel in the Amazon basin, including one capable of delivering a record-breaking jolt
This find is quite shocking I feel:
A new type of electrical eel
It’s said that they are
Much stronger by far
Than those previously known to be real
