No matter where you are, belonging to the LGBTQ community practically guarantees receiving unsolicited hate and criticism from close-minded people. But in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), being openly gay could lead to more than just public scrutiny -- namely, a prison sentence, fines, or deportation. Even a cultural misunderstanding can get you arrested if it hints at homosexuality, as one unfortunate foreigner found out while visiting the country. In the UAE, having sexual relations outside a heterosexual marriage is punishable by law, and in Dubai, consensual sodomy is punishable by up to 10 years imprisonment. Simple PDAs aren't safe either if they're between members of the same sex, even if they're unintentional. Wikipedia That's what landed 27-year-old Jamie Harron behind bars back in July. The Scottish electrician was only supposed to be stopping in the country for two days after his business trip to Afghanistan, but he was facing three mon...

There are tons of hazards when driving. It's actually one of the more dangerous activities some of us do every day. While you can control yourself and be a safe driver, there's no telling what the other people on the road are going to do. All we can do is trust that our fellow motorists are trying to stay safe. In Singapore during heavy traffic, a car with a mounted camera was doing its best to follow the traffic lights, but then something spooky happened, and no one can figure out why. Watch as a 'ghost car' appears seemingly out of nowhere into the middle of the road, causing an accident. Yikes! Can you figure out this mystery? I'm totally stumped. Let us know what you think about how this accident happened in the comments.

Half the time it's a struggle for me to get to the gym, and I'm fully capable of doing so. For women who are pregnant, it can be even harder to get up and get a workout in. It used to be common knowledge that pregnancy was a time to relax and take it easy, but doctors  now say  that hitting the gym has benefits for both mom and baby. Of course, you should always check with your doctor about what exercise routine is right for you, but it's generally a good thing. What one veteran, army wife, and mom-to-be is doing to stay fit is totally insane and amazing. Again, don't try this at home without a doctor's permission, but this powerlifting mama is a beast! Wow! You wouldn't be able to find me doing this even on my best gym days. I'm totally in awe of her skills.

If you consider your pets as family members, you'll agree that their health and well-being are top priorities. But as diligent as you may be about making sure they're happy and healthy, they can't outright tell you when they aren't feeling their best. That's why it's so important to watch out for symptoms that may indicate bigger problems. If your cats or dogs are experiencing any of the 10 warning signs below, it's definitely a good idea to take them to the vet. 1. If your cat or dog uncharacteristically starts having accidents in the house and drinks much more than usual, it may be a sign of diabetes, liver disease, kidney disease, or adrenal gland disease. Alternatively, if they're urinating much less frequently than normal, they could be dealing with a urinary tract problem or bladder stones. All of these symptoms are urgent and require a visit to the vet. Flickr / F. D. Richards 2. Occasional vomiting, especially with cats, i...

If I know one thing, it's that there are dog people and there are cat people. I've got both, but at heart I'm really more of a cat person. It's just like the classic introversion vs. extraversion debate. You'll usually fall closer to one side than another. I'm lucky because I live in an incredibly pet friendly city where most of the apartments are equipped to deal with my furry friends. Not everyone gets that opportunity, though. Lots of animal lovers live in places where it's just not possible to fulfill their need for some pet love. One guy has a pretty hilarious solution to this problem. Nick Canning really loves cats. Like  really loves them.  He lives with an Australian Cattle Dog, but that's the only animal that will fit into their tiny apartment. While he waits to move to a bigger place, he's started posting pictures like this. Everywhere Canning goes that he sees a cat results in a picture. "Most of the cats in the pictures a...

All children make up stories to entertain themselves or explain what's going on in their world. Most of these are harmless fun, and parents are always careful to teach their kids between what's real and what's not. This is for their safety and security, but it's also to keep them from making up a story that could harm someone else. Little white lies may not hurt anyone, but a big lie could get someone in some serious trouble. That's what two siblings found out when they told police about a man who was stalking them. Their scary story, though? The frightening part is how quickly it became distorted into a slanderous hunt for an innocent man. An eight-year-old girl and her brother told their babysitter and police that a black man was stalking them. They claimed he stopped them repeatedly over several days and asked questions about where they live and sleep. The police even released surveillance footage of the man, who was supposedly casing their home. The li...
