“JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Donnie Register has a new reason to be thankful he’s married — police say his wedding band deflected a bullet and probably saved his life.

Two men walked into Register’s shop at The Antique Market on Saturday and asked to see a coin collection, police Sgt. Jeffery Scott said.

When Register retrieved the collection, one of the men pulled a gun and demanded money. A shot was fired as Register threw up his left hand, and his wedding ring deflected the bullet, police said.”

“This week’s entry, the topi antelope, comes courtesy of the BBC. Like other similar species, there tends to be a high female to male ratio among the topi. When it comes to mating that’s great for the males right? Well in this case it might be too much of a good thing.It turns out that the females are fertile only one day a year. All of them… on the same day.
This is evolution at it’s finest, because such a scenario has produced some very sexually aggressive female antelope.”

 ”It is not uncommon to see males collapsing with exhaustion as the demands of the females get too much for them “
