Boogie Boarder killed by Shark

A man was attacked by a shark off Cape Cod in Massachusetts at the weekend. Th2 36 year old victim, Arthur Medici was boogie boarding with his brother 30 feet from shore when he was struck by what by-standers called a 10-12 foot white shark. The man managed to fight the shark off and was dragged to shore, but deep bites to his leg meant he died on the beach from loss of blood, despite frantic efforts to save him using improvised tourniquets.

He’d then sell the trucks and goods with the help of accomplices.

Higher IQ in rebels

People with higher IQs are more likely to be rebellious, a study has shown. Higher intelligence people tend to have more of an individualistic non-conformist streak. The study found, “the more intelligent someone is, the less dependent this person is on the group to acquire resources. This means that higher intelligent people can afford more non-conformist behaviour because of their capacity to secure resources in isolation.”
