Squirrel Begs For Nuts

This attention seeking squirrel will do anything for some nuts - as he dances with his jazz hands out in a desperate plea for the spotlight. The outgoing critter was photographed by Ian Rentoul as it sprinted across a fence top to alert him as he dished out nuts. His stance shows the little squirrel standing on his hind legs and raising his front paws to the air.

Koalas Love Hugging

Holding tightly on to each other's thick soft fur, these adorable Koala bears look perfectly posed for a family photo. The marsupials were spotted cuddling up together at the Lone Pine Conservation Park in Queensland, Australia. Koalas usually sleep for up to 16 hours a day in trees, and only come down for food, so it was a lucky chance that this heartwarming scene was caught on camera.

Eyeball Impaled by Garden Shears

A pensioner has told how he cheated death after being impaled through the eye by a pair of pruning shears. Leroy Luetscher, 86, had finished trimming plants outside his home in Phoenix, Arizona, when he dropped the shears. As he bent down to pick them up he lost his balance and fell face down directly on to the handle of the shears which penetrated his eye socket and went down into his neck.


Male Teacher Is A Porn Star

A TEACHER who led a double life as a porn star and stripper has been found guilty of unacceptable professional conduct - but has still been allowed to keep his job in the classroom. Benedict Garrett, 31, was head of sex education at Beal High School in east London, but outside work he was known by his stripper stage name Johnny Anglais. He was reprimanded by the General Teaching Council after a two-day disciplinary hearing, but told he could continue to work in the classroom. Derek Johns, chairman of the panel, told Garrett, "The committee is content that you have sufficient insight and would not repeat this behavior should you resume teaching. "Therefore, in relation to risk of repetition, the committee considers it is unlikely that you will seek to return to the teaching profession whilst working as a stripper or in pornographic films."

Man On Pilgrimage To Give Thanks For Recovery From Car Crash Is Run Over And Killed

A year earlier, he had been injured in a road accident and made a full recovery. So the man decided to make a pilgrimage to a shrine to give thanks for his survival – only to be knocked down and killed by a car less than a mile into his trek. The 40-year-old Spanish man died instantly after being hit by the vehicle just 20 minutes into his journey. Two women walking with him were also killed in the accident. The pilgrim left his home in the town of Ordes, in north-west Spain, on Saturday morning. He planned to walk the 20 miles to Caion so that he could give thanks at the shrine of the Virgin Mary.

Infopedia Has Too Many Keywords!

AdSense: "Your blog has TOO MANY keywords! You're BANNED!"
The true reason why I made this blog is out of my fondness of weird intersting news. I want to compile such news in one place. Indeed, most articles here are copy-paste from other websites but I also put link back as both reference and credit. A friend suggested me to use AdSense, so I applied. Here's the reply I got:

Thank you for your interest in Google AdSense. Unfortunately, after reviewing your application, we're unable to accept you into Google AdSense at this time. We did not approve your application for the reasons listed below. Your website is a type of website that we do not currently accept into our program. Such websites include, but are not limited to, chat sites, sites that drive traffic through cybersquatting, and sites that use excessive keywords in the content or code of their pages.

I'm sure Infopedia is not chat site and it's not cybersquatting either. So the most logical reason is excessive keywords. As a blog owner, I feel OFFENDED. Why? Excessive keywords suggests that I SPAM by manipulating search engines to MISLEAD people. Infopedia is certainly NOT an excessive keyword spam blog! I seriously compiled the news. And I also seriously designed the banner to look attractive. 

I've seen such spam blogs. Usually they post irrelevant articles and photos that don't connect to one another. Plus, they will mostly post commercial products like laptops in a way that readers wonder if the blog is made by human or spam bot. If I truly have 'spamming' intention, then I must have been the most idiotic spammer for writing about aliens, animals, and weird non-commercial stuff. 

Seriously, AdSense???  My blog has too many keywords? I guess all news blogs are banned from AdSense? No thank you, Google Ad Sense. I DO NOT need you!!! I'm using Chitika now. Though their rules are also strict, at least, they don't brand my blog as spam blog.

At least by complaining about this online, Infopedia will be featured in search results whenever people google about AdSense ... 'Thanks' for giving me a reason to write about you, AdSense.
