It's the holiday season! And everyone wishes to be with their loved ones and enjoy the merriment from Christmas celebrations to the New Year. The same goes with an Australian couple, who is ready to spend tens of thousands of dollars on a private jet costing approximately US$32,000 to fly their pet dog home from New Zealand.

It's the holiday season! And everyone wishes to be with their loved ones and enjoy the merriment from Christmas celebrations to the New Year. The same goes with an Australian couple, who is ready to spend tens of thousands of dollars on a private jet costing approximately US$32,000 to fly their pet dog home from New Zealand. The story of Munchkin, a former Bali street dog is nothing short of a Hollywood movie. The journey started over five years ago when Sunshine Coast-based woman Natasha Corbin laid her eyes on the pooch when she was living in Bali with her fiancé David Daynes, as reported by ABC. ALSO READ | World's 'wealthiest' dog is selling a luxurious Miami mansion, which was once owned by Madonna - see pictures "When we decided to move to Bali, my partner had one rule for me because I'm such a dog lover and that was that I wasn't allowed to interact with any dog," Corbin said as quoted by ABC News. "I just ignored all of the dogs as best as I could and this dog, Munchkin, she was just a little tiny puppy, would follow us around because she had just somehow ended up near our villa," she added. Corbin further mentioned that the canine spent three years in Singapore with various foster families after failing medical tests to enter Australia, which has strict rules around importing pets. She explained that the reason why the couple was in New Zealand in 2019, as she said that they wanted to get the pet dog cleared to come to Australia. But Corbin eventually returned home alone for medical reasons. Meanwhile, Daynes waited for the green light from Australia. ALSO READ | Now, dogs can call their owners for a chat anytime After a five-month separation, Corbin is all set to take a drastic step as she is planning to hire a private jet to bring her fiancé and Munchkin home before Christmas as some flights operating between New Zealand's South Island and airports near the Sunshine Coast have been disrupted due to travel restriction due to COVID-19. "The money part is not the number one driver, it's about who can most certainly get them home before Christmas. Christmas is a really big deal for us... I just want us all to be together," she told AFP. "We stopped counting about three years ago when it got to Aus$40,000. We didn't ever at the start of this process expect that it would cost this much or take this long. We expected it to be Aus$10,000 and six weeks," she said.

I love her so much and she's such an amazing little creature," the owner added. The couple is also hoping to split the costs by recruiting passengers, offering to foot half of the jet bill while selling four remaining seats to other travellers, or perhaps hitching a ride on another private charter. The entire process has cost so much money that Corbin has christened the dog "Million Dollar Munchkin" on social media.

'Million Dollar Munchkin': Australian couple plans to charter private jet for dog stranded by Covid rules

<p>There are various kinds of peculiar records, and a cannabis operator in the US decided to aim for one such high level record by baking world’s largest weed brownie.</p>

<p>Experts have managed to bake world’s largest ‘weed brownie’ that weighs nearly 385 kg. While a normal brownie contain&nbsp;2.5mg to 50mg of THC, this one has 20,000mg of THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol). This edible brownie is 15 inches tall, three feet wide and three feet long.</p>

A lower 2D:4D digit ratio is thought to imply more testosterone exposure while in the womb, and so masculinity. A larger 2D:4D digit ratio, on the other hand, is thought to signify less testosterone exposure in the womb, and so femininity. (With inputs from agencies)

Ladies with longer ring fingers than index fingers rejoice, you may be 'stronger', says study

<p>Solar eclipse is a treat to the senses. It's amazing to see a day give way to a sudden night and the ever-shining disc of the Sun getting obscured by the Moon. Those observing can see stars twinkling right in front of them in a black sky which, by logic, should have been lit by bright sunshine.</p>

<p>But not everyone is lucky to have seen a total eclipse. You have to be in the right place at the right time to witness this natural wonder. There may be thousand who wouldn't have seen total, or even a partial solar eclipse.</p>

<p>But witnessing a solar eclipse from space is a privilege affrded to even fewer people.</p>

<p>NASA has come to aid of those who can't become an astronaut overnight in order to see an eclipse from space.</p>

<p>In its Instagram post, NASA has posted an image taken from space during the recent total eclipse which was visible only from Antarctica.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Have you ever seen a total solar eclipse? How about seeing a total solar eclipse FROM SPACE?" asks NASA at the outset. The image shows the familiar blue orb of our planet. But what's different than usual is a black spot right over Antarctica in the south. That is Moon's shadow as it passes between the Sun and Earth, therby treating the regions under that shadow to a beautiful solar eclipse.</p>

<p>"Our robotic and human explorers are here to help. On Dec. 4, 2021, the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) spacecraft captured the Moon's shadow as it passed over Antarctica, home to penguins and a handful of scientists. Shaped like a cone extending into space, the shadow has a circular cross-section most easily seen during a solar eclipse. People in parts of Namibia, South Africa, New Zealand, and the Falkland Islands were treated to a partial eclipse," says NASA in Instagram post.</p>

<p>According to reports, Switzerland's medical review board has legalised Sarco <strong>suicide pod </strong>to allow&nbsp;a person to die by assisted suicide.</p>

<p>The pod is reportedly a <strong>3D-printed</strong> capsule which resembles a coffin. The person intending to die gets in the pod and is asked questions and then when the person is ready a button is pushed activating the mechanism. The capsule releases nitrogen which reduces the oxygen level as the person loses consciousness.</p>

<p>People can't get enough of one particularly 'hot'&nbsp;secret service agent of US President Joe Biden, who is making an impact on Social media.</p>

<p>The handsome agent was called one of "Biden's Baddies," drawing similarities to actor Tom Cruise in "Top Gun," and it's easy to understand why.</p>

<p>The US president was seen shopping in Nantucket on Friday, accompanied by several of his grandchildren, and his appearance drew swarms of fans.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, not everyone was there to support the leader, as one of US President Joe Biden's Secret Service officers became viral on TikTok - where fans declare their love for him - after being seen standing guard during the presidential outing.&nbsp;</p>

People can't get enough of one particularly 'hot' secret service agent of US President Joe Biden, who is making an impact on Social media. The handsome agent was called one of "Biden's Baddies," drawing similarities to actor Tom Cruise in "Top Gun," and it's easy to understand why.

The handsome agent was called one of "Biden's Baddies," drawing similarities to actor Tom Cruise in "Top Gun," and it's easy to understand why. The US president was seen shopping in Nantucket on Friday, accompanied by several of his grandchildren, and his appearance drew swarms of fans. However, not everyone was there to support the leader, as one of US President Joe Biden's Secret Service officers became viral on TikTok - where fans declare their love for him - after being seen standing guard during the presidential outing.

Pixie Curtis, who is a 10-year-old successful entrepreneur, might retire at the age of 15, her mother Roxy Jacenko said during a joint interview in this week's Stellar Magazine.

Pixie Curtis, who is a 10-year-old successful entrepreneur, might retire at the age of 15, her mother Roxy Jacenko said during a joint interview in this week's Stellar Magazine. Jacenko helped her daughter to establish two successful businesses in Sydney, Australia. The mother-daughter duo first launched Pixie's Bows in 2011, followed by Pixie's Fidgets. The outlet mentioned that the two ventures are estimated to earn $21 million in the next decade. Jacenko, 42, said, "You won't need to worry; you can retire at 15 the way you're going. You know, what is the most exciting for me is the entrepreneurial spirit that she has at such a young age."

When I was 14, I got a job at McDonald's because that's what you did back in my day. So, I guess to me the biggest thing is her drive as an entrepreneur. Yes, I've enabled it, but she's still got it, which is for me the most rewarding part," she added. The Daily Mail reported that the 10-year-old is a social media sensation with over 89,000 Instagram followers. The media outlet further informed that by the age of six, she was charging $600 per sponsored post on Instagram. On the other hand, Pixie has other plans as told the magazine that she plans to use her earnings to take her mother on a shopping spree as well as a luxury vacation. "I'm going to get her some new clothes because she has no good clothes at all, and I also want to get her some real hair because she desperately needs hair extensions," Pixie told the magazine.

<p>You know what's a black box right? A box inside aircrafts which collects vital information before the plane is about to crash. As irreversible the damage in that particular air crash is, information contained in the black box sheds some major light on reasons behind the crash. Analysis of this information helps in preventing such catastrophe in future.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A similar sort of black box is being built for Earth. So is Earth in danger? Is it akin to an aircraft primed for a crash? Many scientists say so. While this 'crash' may not be a literal one, effects of climate change are said to have massive impact on human civilisation.</p>

<p><strong>Tiger at a gender reveal party</strong></p>

<p>People in foreign countries follow a ritual of gender reveal parties. In such parties, the gender of an upcoming baby is revealed. People resort to many creative ways to do so.

<p><strong>Mom lists baby up for sale on Facebook by mistake&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>Social media can sometimes be a tricky thing to understand. Few mistakes made online can never be taken back. In one such mistake, a young mom from Leeds listed her baby for sale accidentally on a local Facebook group. This happened when she was trying to put an image of her sofa for sale but instead, she somehow put an image of her son with a caption that said she needs it "gone today."</p>

<p>She realised that she had uploaded the wrong image after people from all over Leeds commented on that post.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Lucy, who is 20-years-old, had posted pictures of her brown sofa but she did not realise that she had also included a smiling image of his seven-months old baby boy Oscar.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The incident left netizens in splits as the post gathered hilarious comments from the netizens.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Vietnamese noodle seller summoned by police after this video went viral</strong></p>

<p>People were shocked after a noodle seller in Vietnam was called summoned by the police for a parody video of the very famous Salt Bae. Bui Tuan Lam shared a video where he can be seen imitating the chef. While it became a reason for laughter for many on the internet, Bui Tuan Lam had to face some serious consequences.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, it turned out that the incident had to do with much more than Salt Bae. Vietnam's Minister of Public had recently visited Salt Bae's restaurant in London.</p>

<p>Post&nbsp;his visit, images of him having gold leaf encrusted steak went viral on social media. This steak costs USD 1960. When Bui Tuan Lam made this video it was seen as a way of mocking the minister. Here is the video which was shared.&nbsp;</p>

From tiger at gender reveal party to a bear attack, here is a look at the top trending incidents of 2021

<p class="MsoNormal">When the art is unique and adds a heritage value to a country, it is only fair to get a UNESCO world heritage status. Some of the DJs of Berlin’s very famous Berghain nightclub are trying to do the same.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The DJs of the famous Love Parade festival have urged the UN organisation to give them the backing of the UNESCO, to make sure that the future of the countercultural music genre is safe and bright.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">"Unesco protection would go a long way towards maintaining that old spirit," Alan Oldham, a DJ from Detroit, told the&nbsp;Observer. "Legacy venues like&nbsp;Tresor&nbsp;and Berghain for example would be protected as cultural landmarks.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">"So many venues have closed in just the seven years I’ve lived here full time. In other cities, it would be the natural club cycle at work, but Berlin is a different kind of place, where the club and creative scenes&nbsp;are&nbsp;the currency of the city.”<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Artists believe that a UN backing will help elevate the status of the music rather than it being labelled as disposable music. "Unesco protection would help a lot towards establishing techno and club culture as a legitimate social force with historical value and worthy of government support, not just hedonistic, disposable club music and drugs," Oldham, an artist, was quoted saying by the Guardian. "Eventually, my hometown Detroit could maybe also benefit."<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">UNESCO's intangible cultural heritage (ICH) has, in the past, being granted to some of the unique events around the world such as India’s Kumbh Mela and Jamaican reggae.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">"Techno has become a refuge for people who are marginalised and there’s a natural attraction to Berlin as a place which is more permissive, when you come from places that are less permissive," Peter Kirn, a Berlin-based DJ and music producer told the Guardian. "Berlin is on this fracture line between western&nbsp;Europe&nbsp;and eastern Europe. And even though a lot of the focus is on what that meant in the 90s, when the wall came down, there’s been less focus on what’s happening now – Georgia is in crisis, Poland is in crisis, Russia is in crisis. So people from all those places are looking to Berlin as a hub for some kind of radical social response."</p>

<p>NASA has done it again! The space agency on the forefront of space research has wowed everyone with another of its mesmerising post that unravels wonders of space.</p>

<p>Space is beautiful as much as it is mysterious. We may not have been able to fathom all corners of the space (if there are such corners at all) But what we have been able to spot never ceases to amaze us. The pristine beauty and the magnificence of whatever we are able to see get us transfixed each time.</p>

<p>NASA has posted a video of a 'cosmic reef'. This cosmic reef resembles the reefs we have underwater here on Earth. And at the very beginning of its post, NASA asks us to guess whether the video is 'interstellar or underwater'.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Underwater or interstellar? Nicknamed the “Cosmic Reef” for its undersea world resemblance, this massive star-forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud is located 163,000 light-years away. This region features a giant red nebula, NGC 2014, and a smaller blue nebula, NGC 2020, housed in a bustling stellar birthplace..." says NASA in its post on Instragram.</p>

NASA has done it again! The space agency on the forefront of space research has wowed everyone with another of its mesmerising post that unravels wonders of space. Space is beautiful as much as it is mysterious. We may not have been able to fathom all corners of the space (if there are such corners at all) But what we have been able to spot never ceases to amaze us. The pristine beauty and the magnificence of whatever we are able to see get us transfixed each time. NASA has posted a video of a 'cosmic reef'. This cosmic reef resembles the reefs we have underwater here on Earth. And at the very beginning of its post, NASA asks us to guess whether the video is 'interstellar or underwater'. "Underwater or interstellar? Nicknamed the “Cosmic Reef” for its undersea world resemblance, this massive star-forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud is located 163,000 light-years away. This region features a giant red nebula, NGC 2014, and a smaller blue nebula, NGC 2020, housed in a bustling stellar birthplace..." says NASA in its post on Instragram.

<p>Then this is a great chance to do that while earning some good money as well. One tech company will pay you US $200,000 for your face.</p>

<p>No, this isn't a joke. Promobot is a tech company based in New York. An upcoming project will see the firm launch a line of robots with human-like, "friendly" faces.</p>

<p>Instead of just making computer-generated faces, the company is looking for real humans who will lend their features to the newest batch of machines.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In return, they will pay £150,000 (US $200,000) to the special someone who will hand over the rights to their face.</p>

<p>You will need to be at least 25 years old and have a 'kind and friendly' appearance, and you can apply regardless of your race or gender.</p>

<p>A 3D model of the applicant's face and body will have to be taken for the robot's external features. In addition, 'you will be required to dictate at least 100 hours of material so that the machine can mimic your voice for communication with customers.</p>

<p>Finally, the winning applicant will then have to 'sign a license agreement' allowing unlimited time use of their appearance.</p>

<p>It is a little creepy the way they will be able to use your voice and face essentially forever. However, in the event of the robot apocalypse, wouldn't it be great if the machines looked at least friendly and kind?</p>
