Zebra or donkey? The answer isn't so black and white.  Egyptian zoo is insisting it did not paint a pair of donkeys to look like zebras. A zoo in Egypt rejected accusations it painted a donkey to pass it off as a zebra after a photo of the animal in question went viral. Mahmoud Sarhan recently visited Cairo’s International Garden municipal park when he spotted something he thought was not entirely right with two zebras in a pen. He shared the photos on Facebook and they were widely shared. At first look, the animal appears to be a zebra. But many social media users have noted that upon closer inspection, the animal has long floppy ears instead of the more rounded ears of a zebra. Some critics noted the "zebra/donkey" had unusual smudges on its face, and did not have clean stripes. Local veterinarians weighed in on the images with mixed opinions. Mohamed Sultan, the zoo’s director, denied the accusations that the animals in the pen are imposters, the

It’s so great that every new iPhone model and just about every popular Android smartphone come with wireless charging compatibility now. It’s easily the most convenient new smartphone feature that has proliferated in recent years. In fact, we don’t even remember what life was like when we had to mess around with pesky charging cables. The only downside is that stingy smartphone makers don’t include wireless charging pads in the box with their phones, so you have to cough up extra cash to get one. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.

In what could be the biggest one-day drop of all time, Facebook shares opened at $174.89, down 19.6 percent compared to yesterday’s closing price of $217.50 (NASDAQ:FB). When it comes to market capitalization, Facebook  was worth $629.6 billion yesterday. The company is now worth $506.2. In other words, Facebook has lost $123.4 billion in value overnight. Today’s performance isn’t due to yet another data misuse or election interfering scandal. The company has reported disappointing earnings. For the first time, Facebook’s growth is stalling. There are barely more people checking Facebook every day compared to previous quarter. Even worse, Facebook’s user base shrank in Europe. Facebook is still growing, but it’s clear that GDPR combined with a saturated market aren’t helping the company. That’s why Facebook is trying to change the narrative. For the first time, the company shared a new “family of apps audience” metric. There are 2.5 billion people using at least one of

The president’s latest Twitter target is Twitter itself. This morning, Trump took to the platform to call out the alleged “shadow banning” of Republican users. It’s the latest in long standing conservative and right-wing complaints regarding perceived unfair treatment at the hands of social media platforms. This latest round stems, in part, from a recent Vice story highlighting Twitter’s removal of certain users — including Republican Party chair Ronna McDaniel — from autofill search results. “The notion that social media companies would suppress certain political points of view should concern every American,” McDaniel told Vice. “Twitter owes the public answers to what’s really going on.” Twitter “SHADOW BANNING” prominent Republicans. Not good. We will look into this discriminatory and illegal practice at once! Many complaints. — Donald J.

A South Australian woman has started a new business selling cuddles. The fees start at $70 an hour and she's happy to get cosy at your place or hers. It’s a service that only the lonely (and possibly the rich) would pay for - but an Adelaide woman says she has turned her cuddling skills into a potentially lucrative business. Sarah Sin, who says her services are strictly non-sexual, charges her clients $70 an hour for cuddles they are missing out on in their everyday lives. “When they come here it’s like they’re seeing a friend,” she told 7 News. “They can get those cuddles and it induces those happy hormones and that’s it - that’s their recharge for a week. “We all want intimacy...we all want connection at the end of the day...and to me there’s nothing wrong with reaching out.” It’s strictly non-sexual stuff, Sarah Sin says Ms Sin, who has taken out prime-time radio advertising to spruik her services, says Cuddle Care Connections is open to all - but most of

Congressman Devin Nunes (R-CA) just got some sweet new kicks in case he ever feels like running away from reporters who might ask him difficult questions. For the last few months, Nunes has been mocked and ridiculed by the Swamp Accountability Project, an organization devoted to challenging Donald Trump and other “ethically-challenged politicians” who embody the swamp that the president promised to drain. Republican consultant Liz Mair is a spokeswoman for the group, and she recently pulled a prank on Nunes for ducking questions about the House Intelligence Committee’s Russia investigation by leaving in the middle of a Rules Committee hearing. Mair filmed a video of herself delivering some brand new sneakers to Nunes’ office so he can run away from future tough situations in style and comfort. “He hasn’t been very courageous about taking questions, answering questions,” Mair said. “So we feel these are appropriate for Devin Nunes, and they’ll keep him comfortable while evad
