An absolutely massive swarm of locusts plagued Mecca's Grand Mosque in a terrible display of nature doing its worst. You would NOT have wanted to be caught up in the middle of this!

Witness the terrifying and strangely beautiful momenta a glacier in Iceland collapses, and sends panicked tourists scrambling for safety. This glacier collapse takes place at one of Iceland's famous outlet glaciers, Breiðamerkurjökull. Nature is scary and this video capturing the raw unstoppable power of a glacier collapsing is a testament to that. We're glad to know that everyone's safe. Talk about a harrowing close call!

As it turns out Minnesotans are NOT down with these absolutely credible threats of stealing their lakes. No, they are here to fight those threats of thievery with fiery, ridiculous Facebook events dedicated to deterring anyone foolish enough to try. If anything, what they've come up with is hilarious and impressive. Can we please summon a Paul Bunyan? I'm game.
People say incredibly dumb crap all the time. We're just glad that sometimes there's someone to witness it. If someone is alone in the forest, and they say something dumb, are they still an idiot? Yes, absolutely. In fact that probably makes them more stupid. Here are some instances of wondrous ignorance to scoff at.
What we have here, is a fine and mighty, ice-coated display of shredders getting shredded, by the unforgivable, raw power of Mother Nature. And ain't she one cold mistress sometimes. Respect to the folks in these moments of fail for pushing themselves through all manners of snowy madness.

The ants make their mesmerizing appearance at 17:50, in case you want to skip ahead, and see the magical moment right away.
The verdict's in from various Aussies, and apparently this fine collection of totally random "Australian" moments is on the money. Also, after these I am so ready for a visit to Australia. Even though the land's brimming with deadly creatures that are all seemingly designed to take us out.

Sea Ice Specialist, Alex Petty photographed this sick puppy near the Larsen C ice shelf in Antarctica. Apparently this is nothing more than a "tabular iceberg", which are the products of calving ice shelves (when huge chunks of ice break off). I don't know about you, buuut I'm not buying it. Our time on this terribly mad little world we call our own is dwindling, humans. The aliens have landed, and apparently it's over in Antarctica. All kidding aside, WTF is that iceberg about?
Besides the fact that this is a solidly bad idea, it sounds pretty f**king amazing.
