A fisherman off the coast of Progreso, Mexico, fought to pry an octopus from his face after the creature wrapped its tentacles around his head, and his friend stood by filming and laughing. Footage published Wednesday by The Sun shows the unnamed fisherman clawing at the octopus as its suckers latched onto his nose, mouth, and eyes. For several agonizing seconds the animal refused to let go, and the man later said he felt as though he was suffocating. His companion, rather than lending a hand, kept the camera rolling. The fisherman eventually bent over the side of the boat, tore the octopus free, and flung it onto the deck of the vessel, choosing not to return it to the water. Not the first fisherman to lose a round with an octopus The…Open

American social media influencer Frankie Lapenna stepped into an MMA cage to fight a six-foot robot built by Rek Robotics, and the machine dropped him with a jumping switch kick before the company admitted a human was controlling it the whole time.

The stunt was billed as a test of man against machine at a moment when advances in artificial intelligence and robotics have raised real questions about what these systems can do. Before the fight started, one bystander summed up the mood. "I'm scared for you," an unidentified man told Lapenna. He probably should have been. The Sun reported that Lapenna managed to…Open

The moment was…Open

A speeding motorcyclist in Colombia flew through the open doors of a public bus after apparently running a red light, landed on a passenger seat, apologized, and disappeared, leaving police still searching for him.

A 41-year-old Wisconsin dad ran onto the field during a youth football game and deliberately tripped a 9-year-old player sprinting for a touchdown, and walked away with only a disorderly conduct charge.
