Namzy:
Are you sure about that interstitium because I have been hearing about it since my medical school days

You are probably right, its been around for quite some time but it just got to be classified as an organ last year

#4: Carrying A Permanent Marker

If you like crafts prepare to cry, believe it or not, if you've ever carried a marker like a Sharpie or any other kind of permanent writing tool, depending on where you are, you likely broke the law.

This is because many places have passed anti-graffiti laws that ban you from carrying aerosol cans or permanent markers, in the U.S., many states like New York and California have even passed laws making it illegal to buy markers if you're under the age of 18.

The government considers them graffiti tools, and although it's unlikely that you'll be frisked, or for that matter arrested, in many states it's not worth the risk.

#3: Selling Stuff Online

Most of us at some point have sold something online, whether it's through Olx or some other online merchant. And these sites have very clear rules when it comes to selling things like bootlegged movies, alcohol and tobacco products, this you already know, but did you know that anything you sell online, big or small, must be claimed as income on your Federal tax return?

Oh yeah, you're going to jail because you sold an old sweater, sorry. No of course I'm kidding, chances are the Federal government is not going to find out about the $10 that you made off of selling your stuffs but the fact remains that the law requires you to claim that money, in fact, theoretically the FIRS probably doesn't care where your income comes from as long as you claim it and pay taxes on it.

This literally means that if you're a drug dealer, you better be claiming all those dime bags you sellin, baby. Although nobody really expects all you mini Pablo Escobars out there to start paying your fair share of taxes, so, you go on your way.

#2: Connecting To Unsecured WiFi networks
Let's be completely honest, some of you get pretty excited when your neighbor has unsecured WiFi, free surfing and no bill! Good times, except that it can get you thrown in prison. :-(

Connecting to an unsecured WiFi connection falls under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, which makes it a crime to have unauthorized access to anyone's computer or their WiFi.

How serious is it? Well in the United States, it's a third degree felony that carries a prison sentence of up to two years in jail and up to $10,000 in fines not sure the fines imposed in Nigeria.

Now, realistically, will this happen? Probably not, but, I wouldn't want to test getting caught. Besides if you really want WiFi, just come over to my place. My WiFi name is "Connect And Die" and the password is "Village People", I'm a loner.

#1: Singing Happy Birthday.
If you've ever sang the song Happy Birthday in a public place, believe it or not, you've broken the law, surprise! The song was actually copyrighted back in 1935, and technically, you need to pay royalties in order to use it. Now, you might be thinking, well right, that's technically the law, but nobody actually abides by it, well actually that song brings in an estimated $2 million a year, so somebody's paying it.

The copyright to the song was purchased by Warner Music in 1988 for $25 million, and since then, has been the topic of multiple lawsuits. Now the song remains in a huge grey area at the moment, but most legal professionals realistically consider this song to be in a public domain at this point.

However, Warner Music would disagree, mostly because the song is the highest earning single song in history, as well as the most recognizable song in the English language.

But don't worry, you keep singing that Happy Birthday song, whatever makes you feel good, baby. You stick it to the man with your bad self.

If you're like most people on this planet, you consider yourself a good person. You probably hold doors open for people, you have good manners, and of course, you would never think of breaking the law.

You might be surprised to learn that you may be breaking multiple laws every day and you don't even realize it. Yes, there are laws in place that forbid many of the things that we are used to doing every day, but are actually illegal.

So today I'm going to tell you exactly what those laws are, and trust me, they're going to surprise you. And yes, these are real laws, and yes, you can be arrested for them.

No Source?

Yes no source, I'm a freelance writer I write for fun

But Lalasticlala why doesn't my posts gets to fp? Considering the amount of hours I put into each post

I would appreciate if you could tell me the reason my post doesn't get to fp let me fix the issues

Thanks

Nurrex:
Wow, atleast one should be from Nigeria.

Yes we discovered the art of converting the human pants to Benz

#1: Cancer-fighting nanobots.

In a medical procedure that seems to come straight out of an episode of Star Trek, scientists have managed to treat cancerous tumors with, believe it or not, tiny robots.

In February of 2018 researchers from Arizona State University and the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences managed to inject nanometer-sized machines into mice. The robotic treatment attacks cancer cells, halting the flow of blood to tumors by clotting the blood inside the vessels that tumors feed off of in order to grow. These things literally track down cancer, cut off its food supply, and shrink them down until tumors' tissues die of what has been compared to a tumor heart attack.

And in other good news, the scientists believe that the procedure can be adapted for multiple cancers. That does sound exciting, but let's make sure that these little nanobots don't fall into the wrong hands of an evil genius, because the last thing we need is little robot creatures running around causing mini-heart attacks in people. That's bad news.

#2: A cure for blindness
An amazing breakthrough that was revealed in March of 2018 has the potential to change how many people will one day see the world.

Literally. People suffering from age-related macular degeneration, or AMD, a condition in which the central vision is badly damaged, may not be suffering much longer, as experts in the United Kingdom working at the London Project to Cure Blindness have actually discovered a treatment for it.

The cure is a revolutionary new form of stem cell therapy, which has successfully reversed much of the damage in at least two patients. AMD is currently the most common cause of people becoming blind, but doctors claim this brand new treatment could be restoring those same people's sight on a wide scale within just five years. That is huge! But I'm still waiting for a pill or some sort of ability to be able to eat whatever I want and not gain a pound, 'cause your boy has an inner fat kid and he breaks loose.

#3: Anti-aging in mice

Since the first human beings reached old age and felt its effects, we as a species have been searching for that fabled Fountain of Youth. But instead of energy drinks or anti-wrinkle creams, science may be close to a way to actually reverse aging.

In March of 2018 a study was published by researchers from Harvard Medical School, which revealed that they had reversed a sign of aging in mice. Through their work of manipulating a gene associated with the growth of new blood vessels, the team discovered a chemical compound that can directly stimulate it. The drug improved endurance in the older mice by more than 56% and increased their muscle blood vessel growth to one that mimicked younger mice.

Anti-aging drugs could literally be right around the corner. Oh, that's good, longer-living people. That won't hurt the overpopulation problem on Earth.

#4: The holy grail of paleontology
In September of 2018 a group of Australian scientists managed to finally identify a fossil that's been stumping experts since its discovery in 1947.

Found near the White Sea in Russia, this 5.1 centimeter-long oval-shaped fossil with symmetrical ribs was given the name Dickinsonia.

The creature died in a place that, back then, was a great ocean, meaning it was more than likely an aquatic creature, or at least able to survive in ancient waters. "Dick"insonia went unclassified for over seven decades but has finally been proven to be an animal. It's considered to be the holy grail of paleontology, as Dickinsonia is actually an animal that lived 558 million years ago. This makes it the oldest animal ever discovered and likely one of the first complex living things to exist on Earth.

I know these names are often given based on Latin, but come on, "Dick"insonia? Okay, we gotta name this thing. A lot of people are gonna be saying its name. Dick insonia. That's gonna be funny.

#5: The origin of sickle cell anemia

Nearly 250 million people carry the gene responsible for sickle cell anemia, a potentially deadly disorder that affects hemoglobin, a molecule found in red blood cells that transports oxygen all over the body.

It gets its name from the shape that red blood cells form into, specifically sickles of crescents, and symptoms that include serious infections and blood loss.

However, hope may be just around the corner, because in March of 2018 scientists at the Center for Research on Genomics and Global Health announced that they had traced the origin of the disease to a single mutation that developed in West Africa 7,300 years, or 259 generations, ago. 300,000 babies are born every day with sickle cell anemia, but now it may be possible to predict how severe their symptoms will be. And from there, perhaps a cure. Who knows? Science is awesome.

#6: The Brightest object in the known universe.

In July of 2018 it was announced that astronomers in Socorro, New Mexico, had discovered the brightest object in the known universe. Known as P352, the object is a quasar, a massive, extremely bright, active galactic nucleus, or AGN, with a black hole inside of it.

P352 is trillions of times more luminous than our sun. Or at least it was. The quasar is so far away that it would actually be impossible to find out exactly what it looks like at this very moment within our lifetimes. This is due to the fact that although it's amazingly bright, P352's light takes 13 billion years just to reach us here on Earth. That means that the quasar is 13 billion light years away.

For that matter, it's possible another object has stolen the record for brightest object, only it will take billions of years to claim that title.

#7: Water On Mars

Humankind has never been closer to proving that there was life on the red planet, as a recent discovery has established that something essential for that life to be possible is very much present.

Namely, water. While the evidence of water having once existed on Mars probably seems like old news, in July of 2018 a group of Italian researchers revealed that they'd found evidence that water exists there right now. The team was analyzing radar signals from the Mars Express spacecraft's radar sounder, when they found some bright reflections that they eventually concluded were made by water. The liquid is unfortunately underneath the massive sheet of ice that makes up the planet's southern pole, and experts say it's definitely salt water.

This could absolutely mean that there's really life on Mars. Now, don't get too excited. It's probably not little green men in helmets floating around in that water, but it could very well be amoebas, cells, who knows? We gotta work our way up, folks

#8 The earliest drawing by a human ever found

On September 12th, 2018, archeologists announced that the earliest known drawing created by the hands of a homo sapien had been found.

The artwork was discovered inside Blombos Cave, which is around 322 kilometers east of Cape Town, the capital city of South Africa. A seemingly simple place, the drawing consists of nine red lines drawn on a stone flake, and it's estimated to be around 73,000 years old.

Prior to this, the earliest known drawing by a human being was only around 40,800 years old, a whole 30,000 years younger. According to Christopher Henshilwood, an archeologist from the University of Bergen in Norway, this is the first evidence that humans could draw that far back in history. This could actually shed light on the origin of humanity's use of symbols to communicate and record information.

Wouldn't it be funny if there was that one caveman that was like I'm gonna pull a prank and just starts drawing symbols of, like, crazy monsters and aliens to really freak out future humans? Ha ha, oh God that'd be scary.

#9: A New Organ in Human Beings

With the number of times that the human body has been examined, it's hard to believe that there could be an undiscovered organ inside of us. But on March 27th, 2018, an analysis was published in the journal Scientific Reports by doctors from Mount Sinai Beth Israel Medical Center, which revealed just that The interstitium is the fluid-filled space that exists between structural barriers, such as cell walls or the skin, and internal structures, such as muscles or parts of the circulatory system.

The fluid inside the interstitium helps nutrients and hi Jill solutes travel around to organs, cells, and capillaries, and scientists believe that they also act as a form of shock absorber, protecting body tissues from becoming damaged.

Though nobody's identified the interstitium before, it's actually one of the biggest organs in the body. Side note, and this a bit less scientific, but have you ever thought about how weird your tongue is, like, it's just like a big muscle hangin' out your mouth

#10 There are new moons orbiting Jupiter

In July of 2018 it was announced that 12 new moons have been discovered in the planet Jupiter's orbit. The actual visual confirmation that the masses existed occurred back in March of 2017, when a group of astronomers were attempting to discern the location of Planet Nine, a theoretical planet orbiting our sun on the outskirts of our solar system.

They realized that the technology that they were using, specifically the Blanco Telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile, could give them a better look at the gas giant. So they pointed it at it, only to see a dozen new items out there. But it wasn't until the summer of 2018 when the previously documented masses were confirmed to be in fact 12 actual moons.

The discovery brings the total number of moons around Jupiter to 79, far more than any other planet. This could mean a lot of different things. Is there life on there? Are there materials on those moons that we could somehow harvest? Or could we look even further to discover aliens? Mm-hm.

2018 has been a crazy year for pretty obvious reasons. But amidst all the madness, there have been some really incredible things that have happened.

New discoveries have occurred that humanity has never known about previously, things that you didn't know about either. So what better way to finish off the year than to make you aware of them? And by the way, feel free to tell your friends and family about these and make yourself look extra smart. Here are the 10 craziest discoveries of 2018.

who else missed this guy's post?

So those are my compiled list of 10 messages left by aliens, but what do you make of these?


Leave a comment below and let me know. Do you think they were left from aliens or do you think they were simply coincidences?

#1: Crop Can
If you've only ever heard of one way that aliens leave humanity messages, odds are good that it's the creation of crop circles.


They've been appearing in fields since at least the 1600s and consist of circles and other shapes pressed down into longer crops such as wheat and corn. Discovered in fields around the globe, these messages are usually created overnight and have kept many believers scratching their heads

#2: The Face On Mars
On July 25, 1976, a picture was taken on the landscape of Mars that shocked many people especially those searching for messages left by alien civilizations.


The photo taken of the Cydonia region of the red planet by the Viking 1 Orbiter revealed the existence of a two kilometer long humanoid face that seemed to stare upwards. What became known as the face on Mars appears to have been either carved into the rocky surface or built on top of it but what it is exactly is still under debate.

#3: Fast Radio Bursts


Considered one of the biggest mysteries in astronomy, fast radio bursts or FRBs were first discovered in the year 2007 and since then, over two dozen of them have been observed.


A powerful form of light radiation, FRBs flash through space at incredible speeds all of them originating outside of our galaxy and at least one of them keeps repeating. (high pitched squeal)


Though many theories have been offered, there is currently no widely accepted explanation for what created these signals or what exactly they mean.

#4: The Stone Head Of Guatemala
In the 1950s, a stone head with fine features was found deep in the jungles of Guatemala. It was photographed but oddly, anyone who tried to find it again afterwards was unable to do so.


Adding to the mystery, a Guatemalan archeologist named Hector E. Mejia certified that the monument wasn't made by anyone in the region and instead was created by a superior civilization with knowledge beyond any known group at the time. His claim was that essentially aliens made the detailed statue and it vanished with no one knowing why.

#5: The Betz Mystery Sphere
Discovered on May 26, 1974 by the Betz family who were surveying damage caused by a brush fire on Fort George Island, Florida, the Betz mystery sphere is a 20.3 centimeter wide orb of unknown origin.


However, surviving the fire without a scratch wasn't the only odd thing about it. The sphere made the Betz' dog uncomfortable, changed directions on its own when rolled and vibrated on occasion as if there was a motor running inside of it. The question is, is the orb a probe form an alien race or even a doomsday device ready to kill us all?

#6: The Summer's Triumph Tapestry
Created in Brugge, a city in Belgium in 1538, the summer's triumph is a tapestry that illustrates a happy time when a leader rose to power but among the celebrating people and colorful trees and flowers are a few things that don't belong.


In the sky are what appears to be flying saucers. While some had claimed that they're clouds, others are quick to point out how they are all the same hat-like shape and not very cloud-like at all.


Could it be that this is a message from an ancient civilization that had alien contact?

#7: The Glorification of the Eucharist
Completed around the year 1600 and commissioned by the church of San Piedro in Montalcino, Italy, the Glorification of the Eucharist is a painting by Ventura Salimbeni that seemed to depict Jesus and the Holy Father holding something that the artist could not have had, knowledge of a satellite.


Specifically, the world's very first artificial satellite, the Sputnik 1. Some point to the sphere's inclusion as a message from another race of beings while others claim it was added by a time traveler. Either way, the question is....why?

#8: The Murals Of Charama
Found in the caves of Charama, India, the murals of Charama confused local archeologists to the point where they actually had to call in NASA experts just for assistance in explaining them.


Despite being over 10 thousand years old, the ancient rock drawings seem to depict modern day interpretations of aliens in popular media complete with spaceships and spacesuits. Some respected historians believe that ancient cavemen made them after meeting aliens, while others think the images are warnings from the aliens themselves.

#9: HD164595's Strong Message
On August 29, 2016, Russian astronomers announced that while using a radio telescope they had detected a strange signal emanating from HD164595, a star that's around 94 light years from Earth. The message was actually a powerful pulse and came from a system with a sun-like star making the possibility that life exists there higher.


No additional signals have been detected but astronomers are keeping a close eye on that region of space in the hopes that they're right and that aliens are trying to communicate with us. But how are we sure they haven't discovered a contact already and kept it a secret from us?
