Woman Married A Rock

In 1976, a Los Angeles secretary named Jannene Swift officially married a fifty pound rock. More than twenty people witnessed the ceremony.

Some people are just really desperate to get married. Others have deeply religious, philosophical, or personal beliefs that lead them to tie the knot with the oddest assortment of mates you could ever imagine. Consider these:

-In 1976 a Los Angeles secretary by the name of Jannene Swift, "married" a rock in the presence of 20 witnesses. Would it be legal? No. But no worries anyway. If she got mad at him/it, she could just throw "hubby" out.

-In December of 2005, a millionaire rock promoter from Britain, Sharon Tendler, married her longtime love: a dolphin, in the Israel resort town of Eilat. The 41-year old bride, and 35-year old groom, had met some 15 years ago, and according to Tendler, it was love at first sight. She returned to Israel several times a year to visit her beloved, and then decided to make it formal, if not exactly legal. The union was toasted with mackerel, to the cheers of hundreds of spectators.

-In December of 1999, a Taiwanese man married a Barbie doll, in an attempt to appease the spirit of his first wife, who had committed suicide 20 years before, because his family had not approved of their marriage. In an elaborate ceremony at a Bhuddist temple, Chang His-hsum wed with a blonde Barbie doll that he believed carried her unhappy spirit. The doll was dressed in wedding finery, and wore some of Tsai, the dead wife's jewelry. Paper replicas of her dowry were burnt for her use in the Afterlife. The groom's family begged Tsai's forgiveness, and he took the urn with her ashes home to put on his mantel. All of this without consulting the second wife whom he had married after Tsai's death.

Spesies Baru Kodok Pinokio Ditemukan di Papua

Selusin spesies baru ditemukan di pegunungan terpencil di Indonesia, pegunungan Foja.

Luar biasa keanekaragaman yang dimiliki Indonesia. Ilmuwan baru-baru ini menemukan spesies baru kodok berhidung mirip tokoh kartun, Pinokio -- bisa memanjang dan mengempis.

Kodok itu adalah satu dari selusin spesies baru yang ditemukan di pegunungan terpencil di Indonesia, Pegunungan Foja, Memberamo, Papua.

Ilmuwan juga menemukan beberapa jenis mamalia baru, seperti Walabi terkecil di dunia, kelelawar yang memakan sari-sari tumbuhan hutan hujan tropis, tikus raksasa berbulu, serangga, serta beberapa hewan lain -- termasuk gargoyle mirip tokek bermata kuning

Penemuan ini yang dihasilkan dalam survei yang dilakukan Conservation International.

Pegunungan Foja, yang bisa diklasifikasikan sebagai suaka margasatwa, memiliki luas 300.000 hektar hutan hujan yang belum terjamah aktivitas manusia.

Tim yang terdiri dari 17 ilmuwan dan 30 aktivis alam lokal menemukan satuan binatang -- yang di antaranya diyakini baru dalam ilmu pengetahuan.

Paul Oliver, ilmuwan dari University of Adelaide, secara tak sengaja melihat Kodok 'Pinokio' itu duduk di kantong beras di perkemahan tim.

Selama survei, tim juga menemukan Walabi -- jenis terkecil dalam keluarga Kanguru. Juga kupu-kupu hitam putih yang ditemukan bersama tikus pohon dan merpati kaisar dengan warna unik -- warna karat, putih, dan abu-abu.

Ekspedisi ini dilakukan pada November 2008, sementara kisah penemuan ini dimuat dalam edisi bulan Juni majalah National Geographic -- lengkap dengan foto-foto hasil bidikan Tim Laman, fotografer satwa liar.

Penemuan spesies baru ini diumumkan seminggu setelah Persatuan Bangsa Bangsa (PBB) mengatakan, bahwa pemerintah dunia telah gagal memenuhi target untuk menghentikan laju spesies yang hilang.

"Walaupun hewan dan tumbuhan yang musnah di seluruh dunia pada kecepatan yang tak pernah dilihat dalam jutaan tahun, penemuan ini benar-benar luar biasa dan berita positif yang kita harapkan," kata Bruce Beehler, seorang ilmuwan riset senior di Conservation International.

"Tempat seperti ini adalah masa depan. Ini menunjukkan bahwa belum terlambat untuk menghentikan krisis kepunahan spesies saat ini."

Conservation International berharap dokumentasi satwa liar yang unik dari Pegunungan Foja akan mendorong Pemerintah Indonesia meningkatkan perlindungan di area tersebut.

Pegunungan Foja berpredikat sebagai "Lost World". Tanpa akses jalan dan nyaris tak terjamah. Tempat itu adalah inkubator yang sempurna untuk keanekaragaman hayati.

Untuk masuk wilayah itu, tim Conservation International diturunkan dengan helikopter. Tim menghabiskan waktu empat minggu menjelajahi pegunungan, hingga sejauh 2.200 meter.

Indonesia memiliki tingkat kerusakan hutan tercepat di dunia. Sejak tahun 1950, lebih dari 74 juta hektar telah hancur. Deforestasi dan budidaya lahan gambut juga membuat negara ini menjadi penghasil rumah kaca terbesar ketiga di dunia, setelah China dan Amerika Serikat.
