Some Devil Fruits are dark and sinister, and the evil potential of their abilities frightens viewers and characters alike. Every battle shonen needs a distinctive power system that would make its combat more complex and compelling than a mind-numbing exchange of blows. The more inventive and multifaceted these systems are, the more engrossing the series’ showdowns get, and no anime’s power scale hit the mark of creativity better than One Piece’s. The show’s Devil Fruits are mysterious fruits that grant users all kinds of zany abilities, from elemental powers to making their bodies slippery. Yet, not all Devil Fruit powers are comedic and amusing.…

It still produces olives after all those millennia. The ancient olive tree of Vouves in Crete, Greece. Image credit: Eric Nagle The Olive tree of Vouves in Crete, Greece is probably the oldest olive tree in the world and is definitely among the oldest of any tree alive on this planet.

That said, the exact age of the tree cannot be determined, as there is not yet an agreed upon scientific…

Australian Boulder opals are found in unlikely places, such as cracks, crevices, and cavities. A Reddit user (u/adymma90) came across a piece of petrified wood in Queensland, Australia that was full of the beautiful gem – and we’re not surprised the photo went viral. The inside of the wood contained a beautiful structure of the iridescent turquoise opal.The original post has been upvoted over 90,000 times, in part because very few people had ever seen anything like it. The opal inside this piece of petrified wood is basically the mineral concentration of it. Orals can form in other unexpected places…

One Piece’s Franky is clearly a strong character but is still very much underrated. There are several moments where he has more than proven himself. One Piece fans are often more focused on watching the Monster Trio or other powerful characters with superior haki skills. With immense power and unparalleled abilities, these characters end up taking the spotlight, leaving behind other exceptionally good characters without haki or devil fruit abilities. Franky, the shipwright of the Straw Hat pirates, is one such character and may be the most underrated Straw Hat. Despite not having a devil fruit ability or haki, Franky is…

Maria Menounos is showing gratitude for those who helped write her next chapter. After trying to expand their family for a decade, the Extra alum and her husband Keven Undergaro are expecting a baby—and it’s partially thanks to a few familiar faces. “Zoe Saldaña and Kim Kardashian have been so helpful to me in this journey and they both gave me all their advice and people,” Maria explained during a Feb. 7 appearance on Live with Kelly and Ryan. “Kim especially gave me this wonderful lawyer and he found…

The mysterious pyramid work in Egypt is even more mysterious with unexpected discoveries. Archaeologists shocked the world when they discovered an alien mummy in a small pyramid next to the pyramid of Sinusert II. Egypt hid alien mummies in the great pyramids of Giza Illustration. Photo source: vtc.vn Ancient Egypt has buried many secrets in its long history, and some histories have become difficult to verify over time.

The Tayma oasis in Saudi Arabia is famous for its rock art and its historic legacy. It was a major trade route in antiquity and was once the dwelling place of a Babylonian king, Nabonidus. It is referenced in both Assyrian and Biblical sources as a trading post and is also known for abundant rock art made as much as 4000 years ago. One particularly interesting feature of the Tayma region is the Al Naslaa rock formation – a sandstone block connected to what looks like an eroded natural pedestal. The rock is split through the middle by a clean…

John A. Ruskamp Jr., Ed.D., reports that he has identified an outstanding, history-changing treasure hidden in plain sight. High above a walking path in Albuquerque’s Petroglyph National Monument, Ruskamp spotted petroglyphs that struck him as unusual. After consulting with experts on Native American rock writing and ancient Chinese scripts to corroborate his analysis, he has concluded that the readable message preserved by these petroglyphs was likely inscribed by a group of Chinese explorers thousands of years ago. On the fringe of archaeology have long been claims that the Chinese reached North America long before Europeans. With some renowned experts taking…

During Sir Charles Leonard Woolley’s excavation of Ur from 1922 to 1934, any burial without a tomb chamber was given the name ‘death pit’ (known also as ‘grave pits’). Arguably the most impressive death pit excavated by Woolley and his team was PG 1237, which Woolley dubbed as ‘The Great Death Pit’, due to the number of bodies that were found in it. These bodies were arranged neatly in rows and were richly dressed. It is commonly believed that these individuals were sacrificial victims who accompanied their master / mistress in the afterlife. It is unclear, however, if they had…

Old Sarum is a large multi-period archaeological site located on a westward-facing chalk spur overlooking the River Avon, north of the modern-day city of Salisbury, England. The earliest occupation dates from the Neolithic period, where scattered evidence of a farming community has been found dating from around 3000 BC. During the Iron Age, the first major settlement was established around 400 BC with the construction of a large oval-shaped univallate enclosure, which later developed into a bivallate earthwork fortification. After the Roman conquest starting in AD 43, two sizeable Romano-British settlements were established outside the fort’s ramparts with the suggestion…

Events that seem like out of this world…so rare and so beautiful that you won’t believe they truly exist. Two words – MINDBLOWINGLY AWESOMATIC! 1. Aurora borealis (Northern Lights) source: yourlisten Text source: northernlightscentre.ca wifflegif Location: Above the magnetic poles of the northern and southern hemispheres of the Earth. (Polar regions) The bright dancing lights of the aurora are actually collisions between electrically charged particles from the sun that enter the earth’s atmosphere. These collisions vary in color due to the type of gas particles that are colliding. The most common auroral color, a pale yellowish-green, is produced by oxygen molecules located about 60 miles above…

You’re walking on a forest path, admiring the walls of trees alongside you. The fresh air, the chirping birds, the crunch of moss and fallen leaves underneath your feet, the distant gurgling of a stream. It’s paradise on earth. A moment of stillness. A time for…what in the heck is that?! Strange is an understatement, but calling it weird is mayhaps rude. Fact is—Mother Nature has created a plethora of different living beings, and you’ve now come across not one, not two, but dozens of them! 1.

The Copper Scorpion I’m wanting to try and revive a series for RockSeeker.com that I started (buy didn’t follow through with) called, “Interesting Things From Around The Internet.”  It’s just a short post of some of the most interesting things that I’ve come across recently that I thought you would also find interesting.

So I thought this image that I came across would be a great first post for this new RockSeeker series. The…

Crows are some of the smartest creatures in the animal kingdom. They are capable of making rule-guided decisions and of creating and using tools. They also appear to show an innate sense of what numbers are. Researchers now report that these clever birds are able to understand recursion—the process of embedding structures in other, similar structures—which was long thought to be a uniquely human ability. Recursion is a key feature of language. It enables us to build elaborate sentences from simple ones. Take the sentence “The mouse the cat chased ran.” Here the clause “the cat chased” is enclosed within the clause “the mouse ran.” For decades, psychologists thought…

From potentially lifting entire islands to creating nuclear weapons, these Devil Fruits are more dangerous than Gear 5th. In One Piece, the reveal of Gear 5th is the most contentious revelation in the series. Not only was the Gum-Gum Fruit said to be a Zoan instead of a Paramecia, but its true power was wackier than anything imaginable. Luffy’s Gear 5th mode boasts having the most freedom out of every other ability in the world. While it’s revered as the only fruit limited to the user’s imagination, this is arguable. Several Devil Fruits can potentially be more dangerous than Luffy’s Nika-Nika…

Over a month ago I made a post about Shimotsuki Ushimaru’s relation to Zoro. I made a claim that the nature of Ushimaru’s and Zoro’s relationship is not that of a father and son but rather a grandfather and grandson. Fast forward to present and we got an answer to this from the SBS 101 where Oda himself confirms that Ushimaru indeed is NOT the father. Now, many have taken this revelation as proof of Zoro having no ties to the Shimotsuki Family, but I disagree. In fact, this new info actually strengthens the theory. Let’s see what Oda said in the SBS 101 and break it down part by part. Question: “Eiichiro…

For more than 150 years, many people have risked everything, even their lives, to find the “lost Dutch gold mine” in the dangerous Superstition Mountains (USA). But most of them had to die. Bellhop Jesse Capen, 35, is fascinated by the legend of the “lost Dutch gold mine”. Bellhop spent most of his free time reading and learning about this legend. In 2009, believing that the “gold mine” really existed, the 35-year-old man decided to go to the Superstition range, near the city of Phoenix, Arizona, USA, to search. But Bellhop never returned. Three years later, Bellhop’s body was discovered…

The gigantic hominid specimen that measures an incredible 5.3 meter tall (17 foot and 4 inches) was discovered near the ancient ruins of the only megalithic civilization ever discovered in Australia, which makes the discovery twice as puzzling admits professor Hans Zimmer of the University of Adelaide. “The discovery of the Uluru archeological site last year already took us by surprise, but this new find is just jaw dropping” he admits, visibly dumbfounded. “Theoretically, a five meter-tall hominid cannot exist. How did this occur? How is this possible. Although this discovery is fascinating, we are left with more questions than…
