Fed up with traffic and his daily commute to work,  Benjamin David took matters into his own hands, or more like water into his ears. He confessed that “The traffic that runs past the Isar River is so crowded and it's not a pleasure to drive on that road”. So to avoid traffic he packs his laptop, and clothes into a waterproof bag and swims 2km along the Isar River in Munich, Germany to get to work. According to the BBC, sometimes he gets laughs from bystanders on bridges above him, but he say is is faster and more relaxing than sitting in traffic. That is a smart man indeed.

Lets play a game of 'can you spot the rabbits'. Ferg Horne, from Mosgiel in the South Island of New Zealand was checking on his neighbour's sheep after a near record breaking flood overtook the area, which resulted in evacuations. He was expecting the sheep to be drowned, but they huddled together deep in water on higher ground and more surprisingly he noticed rabbits holding on to dear life on top of the sheep. It's amazing isn't it, the survival instinct of animals.
