US Border Wall Collapses into Mexico Thanks to High Winds; Man Pays Phone Repair Guy to NOT Fix His Wife’s Phone, and You Won’t Believe Who Can Eat 22 Big Macs in Just One Hour.
Thanks to high winds on Wednesday, portions of the U.S. border wall fell over, landing on the Mexican side of the border. This was part of a new renovation to repair and improve the wall that already existed.
Agent Carlos Pitones of the Customs and Border Protection sector in El Centro, California, told CNN, “We are grateful there was no property damage or injuries.”
The wall became vulnerable since it had been recently set in concrete that hadn’t yet cured, and it was unable to withstand the windy conditions.

Currently, the Trump administration has sought to pull hundreds of millions from several other government accounts to continue the construction of the wall.
The goal is to construct 450 miles within the time before the next presidential election, and so far, 100 miles have been completed.
Perhaps this isn’t something that should be rushed?
Oli Pickles repairs phones for a living, so imagine his surprise when a customer walked through the doors of his shop in Sheffield and asked him to NOT repair a phone—and then paid him for his lack of service.
The customer handed him the busted phone along with a note that read, “Bro—keep the money and the phone. Just call my missus and tell her you can’t fix it. I’ll tell you the full story later.”
Pickles did what he was asked to do and now remains puzzled as the customer never returned to explain the full story as promised.

“I’ve been fixing phones for six years and have never been paid not to get one going again. It’s the strangest thing that’s ever happened to me,” said Pickles.
“I don’t know what this customer was trying to hide, but clearly he wanted to keep it secret from his partner. It must have been so important that he was willing to pay for it.”
Here’s hoping his missus doesn’t read this article.
A competitive eater, 26-year-old Nela Zisser from New Zealand, who weighs just 121 pounds, is able to consume 22 entire Big Macs within just one hour.
She first started to get into competitive eating when she was 21 years old when she entered a pizza-eating contest.
Her mother thought she’d do a great job, and Nela recalled being surprised to see that she was competing against “19 big dudes”, but she felt far more confident after she took home the win.
Nela, who is a medical student, was asked how she is able to stay so slim despite eating so much.

She replied, “I go to the gym five days a week and I do intermittent fasting. I only eat one or two meals a day.”
“Not all of my challenges are unhealthy either. Last week I ate half a kilo of raw broccoli.”
Since Nela still has three years left to complete her medical degree, she is unsure of whether she’ll be able to continue her hobby of competitive eating.
But right now? She’s simply enjoying her moment of fame by posting videos of her eating challenges on Youtube.
