Strangeness on the Beach in Jamaica



I don't understand this video. Is she enjoying it, or is she getting mad? Are those guys having fun, or is this a form or hostility? The link I clicked to take me to this video said, "White woman humiliated on beach in Jamaica." There is supposedly a name for this sort "dancing," and it's normal to dance like this in hip-hop dance halls in the UK, where the dancers are probably mostly Jamaicans.

This is called "daggering" or "muh-dicking," and is popular in dance-hall culture in Jamaica. However, people are trying to replicate the extreme sexual moves of daggering in the bedroom and there have been many cases of damaged penises over the past year. Some of the injuries have been permanent. Yes, you can break your dick, and it's not funny at all. Injury usually happens during sex, and you need to get to an emergency room right away. Woman on top is the usual position.

Woolly Mammoth Videotaped in Siberia?

Video here.

This has got to be the cryptozoological video of the year so far. An amazing video, it was reportedly shot in the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug last summer by an engineer who was scouting an area in order to build a road. He says he saw a hairy elephant struggling to cross a raging river, got out his camera, and shot a video of it.

There have been many attempts to debunk this video so far, but I do not think they have been successful. First of all, they are saying that it's a grizzly bear with a large fish in its mouth. For many reasons, it's just not. The shape and the way its walking are all wrong for a bear. Further, a bear would not wade out into the middle of a raging river like this to catch a fish and then struggle to take it to the other side. It would stand on the bank, reach out and grab and fish and then take it quickly to the bank and eat it.

Other people are saying it is a CGI of a woolly mammoth or an elephant. For a lot of reasons, I think it is not. It's too poorly done for one thing. A CGI would look a lot clearer than this.

Bottom line is this an elephant all right! But does that solve the mystery? Unfortunately, it does not. For it could well be an Asian elephant crossing a river in the lower Himalayas around India, Nepal and Sikkim. There are many Indian elephants in the eastern India region, and they range all the way up to 9,000 feet in the lower Himalayas. In that part of the Himalayas, you could well see forests and raging rivers just like this.

One thing that I found very interesting was that the video was said to be shot in Chukotka. How would a hoaxer know to say just that? Because that location is very important. It was on Wrangell Island in Chukotka Okrug that the woolly mammoth had its last stand 3,400 years ago. So if they still exist at all, they would me likely be in the Chukotka Okrug than any place else. Do hoaxers know this obscure fact?

One more shocking thing in the report said that hairs had been found of the mammoth in the video somehow, and that the hairs matched up with hairs from extant specimens of extinct mammoths. We really need to follow up on this enticing bit to see if it is true or not. If it's true, and it some stunning proof that woolly mammoths, creatures from the Stone Age, continue to walk among us.

I know it sounds incredible, but regular reports have been drifting in about hairy elephants deep in the wilds of Siberia for over 70 years now, and there were even reports before that. So we have multiple generations of sightings. Now, sightings don't necessarily mean anything, but I don't think we should be so fast to reject them out of hand. After all, in only 2.5 weeks if we are lucky, the existence of the Bigfoots and the Yeti will both be proven to science, two creatures with a regular sighting record dating back centuries to millenia.
