Trolling attack has sweet result
Internet trolls took a picture of Bangladeshi cleaner Nazer al-Islam Abdul Karim looking wistfully into the window of a jewellery shop in Saudi Arabia. The picture was uploaded to Instagram with the caption: "This man deserves to only look at rubbish." Appalled by the post, Abdullah Al-Qahtani - whose Twitter handle Ensaneyat means humanitarianism in Arabic - set out to find the man via social media. Since then the window-shopping man has been showered with gifts, including items from the jewellery shop. So far the 65-year-old has received money, bags of rice and honey, return tickets to his home country as well as two smartphones, an iPhone 7 and Samsung Galaxy.

Pessimism in pigs
According to Weird Universe, pigs are such complex animals that scientists are studying how to tell the "optimists" from the "pessimists". "British researchers writing in a recent Biology Letters described how 'proactive' porkers differed from 'reactive' ones, and, as with humans, how their particular mood at that time distinguished them as 'glass half full' rather than 'glass half empty'. (Unaddressed, of course, was specifically whether some pigs were actually 'optimistic' that the chute at the slaughterhouse might lead to a pleasant outcome.)"
