The woman in the photo is Christa Gail Pike. She is currently the only woman on Tennessee's death row and, having been sentenced at just 20 years old, is often noted as the youngest woman ever sentenced to death in the U.S.

The crime occurred in January 1995 when Pike was an 18-year-old attending a Job Corps program in Knoxville, Tennessee .

Driven by jealousy involving her boyfriend, Pike and two accomplices (her boyfriend and another student) lured 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer into the woods. For over about 30 minutes, they tortured and beat Slemmer, carving a pentagram into her chest. Pike delivered the fatal blow by striking her skull with a chunk of asphalt .

Prosecutors described it as an act of "extraordinarily brutal" cruelty.

After nearly 30 years of appeals, Pike's ex*****on is currently scheduled for September 30, 2026 . If carried out, she would be the first woman executed in Tennessee in over 200 years .

Though her lawyers are currently fighting the sentence through a clemency petition and a religious-liberty lawsuit regarding the lethal injection process.

Do you think she should be executed?

Here's the cool part: gravity does all the work. You'd fall faster and faster as you got closer to the center.

Right in the middle, you'd be moving at an insane speed — about 28,000 km/h.

Then that same speed would carry you back up, slowing down little by little, until you popped out on the other side of the planet. 🌍
And here's the part that's hard to believe: it doesn't matter where the tunnel goes.

A short tunnel between two nearby cities and a long tunnel to the far side of the world would both take the same 42 minutes.

Shorter tunnels mean you never get going as fast.

Of course, this could never actually happen.

The middle of the Earth is thousands of degrees hot, so no tunnel (or person) could survive it.
Still, it's one of the simplest ways to see how powerful and strange gravity really is.

Would you jump in if you could? 👇

The boomslang is one of Africa's most venomous snakes, but the image exaggerates what typically happens after a bite.

Its venom is a powerful hemotoxin that attacks the body's blood-clotting system, causing victims to lose the ability to clot blood properly.

Symptoms may take several hours to appear, which can make the bite seem harmless at first.

As the venom spreads, internal and external bleeding can develop.

Victims may bleed from the gums, nose, digestive tract, old wounds, or under the skin, leading to extensive bruising.

One of the most famous cases involved renowned herpetologist Karl P. Schmidt in 1957.

After being bitten by a boomslang, he documented his symptoms in detail. He initially felt relatively well but later suffered severe internal bleeding and died about a day after the bite.

Despite its deadly reputation, boomslangs are shy, tree-dwelling snakes that rarely bite humans.

Mexico City is one of the most crowded cities on earth. It's estimated anywhere from 21 million to 26 million people live in its metro area, packed into a high-altitude basin with mountains on every side and not nearly enough flat land to go around. When space runs out, people build wherever they can.

In the Iztapalapa district on the eastern edge of the city, that meant building inside a volcano.

Tepepolco, or Cerro del Tepepolco, is a small dormant volcano that last erupted over 10,000 years ago. Its crater, a natural bowl in the earth, sat there for thousands of years doing nothing. So residents moved in.

Thousands of people now live inside it. Streets wind down into the bowl. Houses are built up the inner walls. From the air it looks like a normal dense neighborhood, except it happens to be sitting inside a volcano crater.

Nobody worries about it erupting. Tepepolco has been geologically dead for longer than recorded human history. It's just land at this point, and in a city of millions, land doesn't stay empty for long.

During the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, 27-year-old first-grade teacher Victoria Leigh Soto made the ultimate sacrifice to protect her students. When the gunman entered her classroom, she quickly hid the children in a closet and beneath cabinets before standing between them and the doorway and misleading the shooter about their location.

Her brave actions gave several students a chance to escape, while she was tragically shot and killed while protecting those who remained. Soto's selfless sacrifice became a lasting symbol of courage and devotion, and she was later posthumously awarded the Presidential Citizens Medal for her heroic actions.
