98 year old Dobri Dobrev, a man who lost his hearing in the second world war, walks 10 kilometers from his village in his homemade clothes and leather shoes to the city of Sofia, where he spends the day begging for money.
Though a well recognized fixture around several of the city’s chruches, known for his prostrations of thanks to all donors, it was only recently discovered that he has donated every penny he has collected — over 40,000 euros — towards the restoration of decaying Bulgarian monasteries and churches and the utility bills of orphanages, living entirely off his monthly state pension of 80 euros and the kindness of others.

Bunny Eats Carrots Strangely
Authorities are baffled by Hollis, a rabbit with an odd habit. Hollis only eats the middles of carrots.
“We’ve taken him to see psychiatrists, nutritionists, sociologists, paranormal investigators — no one knows why he’s doing it,” said Sam Whitlock, a friend of the bunny. “It’s like he’s trying to tell us something, but what?”
According to Whitlock, they tried switching Hollis to parsnips last week to see if the message changed, but he did the same thing: only ate the middles.
They’re going to try celery next.

How Do I Land?“Skywriting is crazy. We’re forcing clouds to say things. That’s inherently funny. How great would it be to look up one day and there’s a message in the sky, for no other reason other than itself. It’s not trying to sell you anything, it’s not trying to tell you something. It’s just there.”
Los Angeles-based comedian Kurt Braunohler crowdsourced funds on Kickstarter to “hire a man in a plane to write stupid things with clouds in the sky.” On March 23rd, a professional skywriter wrote out the words “How Do I Land?” in the skies above Los Angeles.
