A woman in Germany is set to marry a jumbo jet she has dated the past six years, claiming it was love at first flight sight.
The 30-year-old saleswoman Michele Köbke said she met her soon to be husband (a Boeing 737-800) at Berlin Tegel Airport in 2014.
Speaking about the embrace, Michele said:
“The time in the hangar was the most beautiful moment of my life and when I was with him, we enjoyed our time together, we kissed and I caressed him. I plan to move into the hangar one day and my biggest dream is to be with ‘Schatz’ and to live with him. I also want to marry him in the hangar and spend the whole night with him. I wouldn’t want to put on a white dress, but dress really smartly with black trousers and a black blazer.”

The couple plans to take off into marriage on March 18 but while some have accepted their relationship, Michele’s family say they do not want to meet the plane.
Michelle doesn’t seem bothered by that and just wants the big day to arrive already.
“I want to have someone marry us and say, ‘do you want to marry your 737-800’ and I say, ‘yes’, we kiss and then I’m immortalised with him and we can be together forever.”
The relationship is an example of obejectophilia where one has a sexual or romantic attraction to an inanimate object.

A teen from Indiana is being praised after a parent left their newborn child in a baby drop-off box he raised money to install.
19-year-old Hunter Wart spent over a year mowing lawns and scrapping metal to raise $10,000 needed to purchase a Safe Haven Baby Box for the Seymour Fire Department for his senior project.
Then in June of 2019, the box was finally installed at the fire department. The boxes are designed to prevent abandonment of newborns.

Then on January 23rd, 2020, they discovered a baby girl inside.
As expected, the alarm in the box made firefighters aware of the baby’s presence within just a minute of her arrival. She was estimated to be just one hour old.
They then provided care until an ambulance could shuttle her to a hospital.
The baby is slated to be in custody of state child services workers, according to officials.

In the study, 919 predominantly heterosexual women between the ages of 18 and 70 were shown three male faces and asked to rate their attractiveness for both potential short and long-term relationships.
Each face was shown both bearded and clean-shaven and presented with five levels of “masculinity.”

The participants found “masculine” faces generally more attractive than “feminine ones.”
Bearded men were found to be more attractive than clean-shaven men, apparently because they were perceived to show greater social dominance.

Having a baby is hard enough — but the cost? For parents in America, they face some of the highest medical bills despite being insured.

These women were then all enrolled in massive employer-sponsored health insurance plans that tend to cover more than those purchased by small businesses or individuals — only covering half of U.S. births.
