Man selected as judge at chili cook-off with hilarious results

If you think judges who are part of talent shows and cooking competitions have it easy, think twice. Telling someone how bad they are at something they believe they are talented for makes them dream crushers. But at the end of the day they are paid to be brutally honest and that doesn’t involve taking competitors’ feelings into consideration.

This chili cook-off judge, however, had a memorable experience we know he’ll never forget. As for being part of a competition ever again, we are certain he’ll think twice before saying yes. 

This story is going to make you burst out laughing. 

“Recently, I was honored to be selected as a judge at a chili cook-off. The original person called in sick at the last moment and I happened to be standing there at the judge’s table, asking for directions to the Coors Light truck, when the call came in… I was assured by the other two judges (Native New Mexicans) that the chili wouldn’t be all that spicy; and, besides, they told me I could have free beer during the tasting, so I accepted and became Judge 3.”

Here are the scorecard notes from the event:

CHILI # 1 – MIKE’S MANIAC MONSTER CHILI

Judge # 1 — A little too heavy on the tomato. Amusing kick.
Judge # 2 — Nice, smooth tomato flavor. Very mild.
Judge # 3 (Frank) — Holy cr*p, what the heck is this stuff? You could remove dried paint from your driveway. Took me two beers to put the flames out. I hope that’s the worst one. These New Mexicans are crazy.

CHILI # 2 – EL RANCHO’S AFTERBURNER CHILI

Judge # 1 — Smoky, with a hint of pork. Slight jalapeno tang.
Judge # 2 — Exciting BBQ flavor, needs more peppers to be taken seriously.
Judge # 3 — Keep this out of the reach of children. I’m not sure what I’m supposed to taste besides pain. I had to wave off two people who wanted to give me the Heimlich maneuver. They had to rush in more beer when they saw the look on my face.

CHILI # 3 – ALFREDO’S FAMOUS BURN DOWN THE BARN CHILI

Judge # 1 — Excellent firehouse chili. Great kick.
Judge # 2 — A bit salty, good use of peppers.
Judge # 3 — Call the EPA. I’ve located a uranium spill. My nose feels like I have been snorting Drano. Everyone knows the routine by now. Get me more beer before I ignite. Barmaid pounded me on the back, now my backbone is in the front part of my chest. I’m getting red-faced from all of the beer.

CHILI # 4 – BUBBA’S BLACK MAGIC

Judge # 1 — Black bean chili with almost no spice. Disappointing.
Judge # 2 — Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish or other mild foods, not much of a chili.
Judge # 3 — I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was unable to taste it. Is it possible to burn out taste buds? Sally, the beer maid, was standing behind me with fresh refills. This 300 lb. Woman is starting to look HOT … Just like this nuclear waste I’m eating! Is chili an aphrodisiac?

CHILI # 5 – LISA’S LEGAL LIP REMOVER

Judge # 1 — Meaty, strong chili. Jalapeno peppers freshly ground, adding considerable kick. Very impressive.
Judge # 2 — Chili using shredded beef, could use more tomato. Must admit the jalapeno peppers make a strong statement.
Judge # 3 — My ears are ringing, sweat is pouring off my forehead and I can no longer focus my eyes. I farted, and four people behind me needed paramedics. The contestant seemed offended when I told her that her chili had given me brain damage. Sally saved my tongue from bleeding by pouring beer directly on it from the pitcher. I wonder if I’m burning my lips off. It really ticks me off that the other judges asked me to stop screaming.

CHILI # 6 – VARGA’S VERY VEGETARIAN VARIETY

Judge # 1 — Thin yet bold vegetarian variety chili. Good balance of spices and peppers.
Judge # 2 — The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, garlic. Superb.
Judge # 3 — My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous, sulfuric flames. I cr*pped on myself when I farted, and I’m worried it will eat through the chair. No one seems inclined to stand behind me except that Sally. Can’t feel my lips anymore. I need to wipe my butt with a snow cone.

CHILI # 7 – SUSAN’S SCREAMING SENSATION CHILI

Judge # 1 — A mediocre chili with too much reliance on canned peppers.
Judge # 2 — Ho hum, tastes as if the chef literally threw in a can of chili peppers at the last moment **I should take note that I am worried about Judge #3. He appears to be in a bit of distress as he is cursing uncontrollably.
Judge # 3 — You could put a grenade in my mouth, pull the pin, and I wouldn’t feel a thing. I’ve lost sight in one eye, and the world sounds like it is made of rushing water. My shirt is covered with chili, which slid unnoticed out of my mouth. My pants are full of lava to match my shirt. At least during the autopsy, they’ll know what killed me. I’ve decided to stop breathing. It’s too painful. I’m not getting any oxygen anyway. If I need air, I’ll just suck it in through the 4-inch hole in my stomach.

CHILI # 8 – BIG TOM’S TOENAIL CURLING CHILI

Judge # 1 — The perfect ending, this is a nice blend chili. Not too bold but spicy enough to declare its existence.
Judge # 2 — This final entry is a good, balanced chili. Neither mild nor hot. Sorry to see that most of it was lost when Judge #3 farted, passed out, fell over and pulled the chili pot down on top of himself. Not sure if he’s going to make it. Poor fella, wonder how he’d have reacted to really hot chili?
Judge # 3 — No report.

Boy with autism writes poem for homework, his teacher is at a loss for words

Living with autism can be challenging for so many people who are diagnosed with the disorder. But I guess it’s a bit more for young children and teenagers who are yet to find their place in the world. 

These people are very often misunderstood and considered ‘different’ and even ‘awkward’ by the members of the society, thus they struggle to fit in.

A 10-year-old boy from Plattsburgh, New York, named Benjamin Giroux was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, a form of autism, when we was very young. He could feel he was a bit different from the rest of his peers and he wasn’t afraid to speak of his condition out loud. How he did it? He wrote how he felt like on a piece of paper which was given to him as an assignment by his teacher.

The poem he wrote was so deep and touching that his teacher and his parents were at a loss for words. He named his poetic work “I am!” 

Benjamin’s poem was spread on the social media like a wildfire. People would share it along with the hashtag #oddtoo as a form of support for him and everyone else who is on the autism spectrum.

National Autism Association shared his incredibly touching but very true poem, too.

18-Year-Old’s Mom Almost Dies, Thus he Invented A Bra Which Can Save Millions

This is genius!

Cancer is a notoriously well-known disease to many, due to the horrible and devastating traits it carries. It affects many families and had many deaths every year, with those failing to detect it in its earliest stages and thus, failing to treat it on time.

Although there is still absence of a definitive cure in which scientists are still in the midst of creating, many have tried to develop new ways for early detection in the earliest stages of cancer – on their own. One example was Julian Rios Cantu, who was just 13-years-old when his mother was unfortunately diagnosed with breast cancer. Although his mother was able was overcome the disease the first time, she was not so lucky the second time, and it really tugged at Julian’s heartstrings.

His mother’s ordeal caused Julian to take a stand against cancer by channeling all of his time, money, brains and energy in creating a special invention. To him, it has the potential to help many families to avoid what he had to go through before.

Now the ripe age of 18, Julian has very likely changed how cancer diagnosis would be conducted. Together with three of his friends, Julian founded Higia Technologies, a company with an aim of detecting and overcoming cancer. One of his technologies focused on the very deadly and common breast cancer, and detecting the disease early could literally make a huge difference between life and death. Julian’s mother had unfortunately, lost both her breasts in her battle – but she was fortunately able to survive the ordeal. It was his mother’s struggle that greatly inspired Julian’s initiative towards the illness – through an invention named the “auto exploration” bra.

It has more than 200 sensors installed and specifically designed to detect subtle changes in a woman’s breasts. Julian and his friends entered their product into the Global Student Entrepreneur Awards, and were even gifted a $20,000 grant to continue their research and possibly, product production.

Users are advised to wear the bra for 60 to 90 minutes each week, while taking note of the changes in the temperature, color and texture of the breasts via readings. Cancerous tumors alters the rate of blood flow as well, in which the bra is able to detect. The information is then delivered to an app, alerting clients via the advisory of their chosen personal medical professional – just before the cancer develops past a treatable stage.

It is truly an inspirational and miraculous invention which Julian and his friends certainly, very much deserve plenty of praise for their innovative idea!

Police officers check pulled over car and are surprised by discovery

Police officers Jeremy Halek and Tony Weeks from the Brooklyn Park police station have had many unusual encounters throughout their career, but this has to be the one they will never forget. 

While on the job, they noticed a car parked on the side of the road. The door was wide open so they assumed something might be wrong. They wondered where could the driver of the vehicle be and why would they leave an open car in the middle of a busy road. But, what they didn’t know was how they were about to witness something amazing. 

They soon learned the car belonged to the 19-year-old teenager named Chris Felix and the reason why he was out there left them overwhelmed. 

YouTube

 

While on the road, Chris could feel how something hit his car. When he got out he realized it was a squirrel that ended up under his vehicle. The kind boy never thought of leaving it there before he made sure the poor creature was doing fine. The first thing that came to his mind was to revive it through CPR. Yes, you’ve heard that right.  

The squirrel didn’t show any signs of life, but Chris never gave up on it. He later told the Dodo: “All I was thinking about was just to try to help the squirrel out, because I just thought that would have been the best thing. The poor squirrel wasn’t able to move, so I pick it up with my glove, set it on the grass and started to do chest compression.”

YouTube

 

The officers were glad they found themselves in the right place at the right time. It’s not everyday that we see someone giving CPR to a squirrel, so they made sure they put the amazing scene on tape. 

When asked why he did what he did, Chris told CBS Sunday Morning: “It didn’t look like he had any life, you know? It doesn’t matter if it’s a little life or a big life. Life is life.”

After some time, the lovely creature could be seen running into the woods, safe and sound. 

YouTube

 

To be honest, we are not really sure we would believe this story if we weren’t able to see it ourselves. 

Chris showed how amazing of a person he is by providing a large dose of compassion for someone so small and so vulnerable. If more people treat animals this way, the world will be a much better place and we will live in harmony with all God’s creatures. 

We are happy to learn Chris is planning on pursuing a career in the medical field because he’s got all the traits needed to become a great doctor. 

Make sure you don’t miss this extraordinary and inspirational story. 

Parents discover unusually cute hat on baby’s head

Animals and babies make best of friends, and apparently that goes for insects too. It’s lovely seeing parents who teach their children that no matter how big or small, every living being should be treated with utmost respect because it has its own place on this planet and makes it more beautiful. 

When one couple decided to take their baby at the San Diego Zoo, they had no idea it will turn into one of their most memorable trips together only because of one very special butterfly. And as everyone had fun looking at those stunning wings, the little baby girl had no idea why her parents were overly excited. 

YouTube

 

The gorgeous and pretty big butterfly casually landed on the baby’s forehead and made her way to the top of the cutie pie’s head. The baby couldn’t feel the insect was walking on her and was left wondering why was everyone staring at her. 

Some random kids tried to make the baby smile, but she was only looking at them unaware of the unique moment that was taking place. 

It’s great the parents managed to put everything on tape as we are sure the baby girl would appreciate it when she gets older. 

YouTube

 

When the butterfly opens her wings, we get to see the mesmerizing blue pattern. The color is so vivid that it’s really breathtaking. This has to be nature at it’s finest.

She seems to be enjoying the attention she is getting and the baby’s head is just the perfect place for taking some rest. Even when the baby moves her head, the butterfly doesn’t fall. 

YouTube

 

These butterflies are known as The Blue Morpho Butterflies and are one of the largest and most beautiful in the world. 

Certain tribes of the Amazon believe these butterflies have magical powers and grant wishes. That is the reason why they are creating masks resembling their wings during their festivals. 

It’s amazing how their wings are plain brown on the outside which allows them to camouflage when not flying. 

This one, however, really made this family’s day special. 

Video goes viral after people claim to see a man walking in the clouds during storm

True believers in God never question His existence and power, and this video filmed during a storm made people from all around the country and beyond to believe the Savior appeared in the sky. 

There are also those who say how the figure resembling a man is just a shadow or a grey cloud passing by. 

Either way, we’ll let you decide for yourself after you watch the video taken by Krystal Washington, of Tuscaloosa, Alabama. She was going live on Facebook while bad storm was passing through the area. The wind was blowing so fast that all the trees were swaying back and forth. And then, all of a sudden, people could see a white opening in the dark clouds.

“Look at that hole right in the sky,” she says in the video. “That’s who got the power. He got us covered at least, we’re alright.”

Washington, however, only became aware of what others noticed after a friend of hers named Lisa Baker pointed out to the man walking through the clouds. 

“Can’t tell me my God ain’t real!” Washington wrote in the caption.

Other friends wrote how the video gave them chills, thanking Washington for sharing it.

The video soon went viral after LADbible picked it up. Around 39 million people watched it, and their opinions of whether this is a sign from God or just a cloud are divided. 

Here is the original video Washington posted. Take a look at it yourself and tell us what you think in the comments section below. 

Dad cuts open a wasp nest on table – discovery inside has the internet speechless

If you have a curious soul, then you have certainly came across these father and son’s YouTube channel called “What’s Inside?” What they do is cut random things open and film what’s inside. Why? So that you don’t have to do it yourself. 

They started the channel one day when young Lincoln came home from school telling his dad Dan how he was assigned a science project where he had to write what’s inside a sport ball. They obviously had fun cutting the ball open so they decided to do it with other objects too. 

This time, they take things to a whole new level and cut a wasp nest. If you wonder where did they find one, the answer is eBay. Are you as surprised as we are? 

Now everything is ready for the huge revelation. Will there be any live wasps inside? Millions of followers are eagerly waiting to get the answer to this question. 

 

Some people commented  how this isn’t a wasp nest but a hornet’s one. However, that doesn’t make the whole experience any less exciting. One person is saying how a wasp nest has been built in front of his house and it’s amazing how it gets a bit bigger every day. 

 

Insects like wasps and bees are likely to be one of the best nature’s builders.

Girl with down syndrome can’t stop listening to a homeless man singing to her

Sometimes, complete strangers become best of friends only because they happen to share a moment that has huge impact on their lives. 

No one really thought the encounter between a homeless man and a non-verbal girl with Down Syndrome would take the Internet by storm and melt millions of hearts around the country and around the world. 

Kimberly B.Philips and eight-year-old Neveah were in a mission of feeding residents of Allen Benedict Court apartments. These mother and daughter are part of a church in Columbia, South Carolina that often organizes charity events for those in need. 

While on the go, Neveah spotted one man who caught her attention. A homeless person with the most powerful voice the little girl has ever heard.  

Neveah quickly rushed to the man known as Tyion. In fact, as her mother told WIS-TV, although unable to speak, the girl possess other abilities such as that of sensing who is in need of her presence. 

This girl can make everyone smile because she is cute and friendly and loves making people laugh. It’s true when Phillips says how Neveah’s actions speak louder than words. 

“Even around Christmas, she dresses as an elf and passes out candy to people in the community. People are just in awe of her personality.”

Facebook/Nevaeh’s Smiles A Love Without Limits

Tyson’s singing enchanted Neveah’s soul. The man could see how she loved what he was doing so he took her in his arms and continued singing only for her. 

Then, all of a sudden, the most amazing thing happened. The girl started singing along. She didn’t do it using any words, but joined him in her own very special way. 

Phillips was overwhelmed by the sight. Her little girl was happy and was having so much fun. She knew she had to take her phone out and record the unusual encounter between a girl without a voice, and a man without a home. They both lacked something, but had angelic souls, and that’s what matters most. 

“Love made her do it. “She just knows how to draw a crowd – she just has a gift. I am just glad everyone has seen it and it’s gone viral – I just wanted to inspire.”

This meant so much for Philips that she decided to share the video on her Facebook page, but little did she know that it will also affect the millions of people who watched it. Tyion and Neveah stole people’s hearts in a blink of an eye. They somehow stood for something pure that reminded everyone how life can be good no matter the obstacles we face. 

Phillips decided to track Tyion down and tell him how he and her daughter made people feel. He was in complete disbelief. 

“…he read the comments with a big smile on his face :)!!! You all have given him so much hope today!!!! He leaned down to Neveah and said…look what we did.”

The kind hearted man found a bottle of flavored water that he gave to little Neveah as a thank you for being his friend. 

“I can’t tell you how full our hearts are!!!! His smile said it all:)!!! And each time he passed me he said ‘a million views???’ He has been in shock: )!”

Phillips wanted to use this occasion to remind everyone how friendly kids with Down Syndrome are, as well as to change the perception many have of the homeless. 

“You will be blessed beyond measure because they know and they want to bring you joy. They are leading by example – and that’s how we should all be loving others.”

After the video went viral many people were willing to help Tyion get a new start in life and find a home. 

Nevaeh and Phillips started the campaign “Let Your Act Be The Impact” which is all about doing good to those who need it the most. 

Take a look at the duet in the video below.
