Dryer Melts but Pizza Box Lives at Duke University
Students at Duke University smelled something stinking up like burning plastic coming from the laundry room. When they went to check it out they found a dryer that was basically melting in place but within it was a pizza box that wasn’t giving up on life just yet.
One of the students came forward to describe the seen,
We went over and looked at the dryers and noticed that one of them was completely melted… then there was this random pizza box that was in the dryer. It looked as though the pizza box had not even been melted, but the plastic of the dryer was melting off.
In fact the rugged cardboard pizza box survived the fire but what ever happened to this little box remains to be seen. Luckily everyone else was safe as well and no one got hurt by the mysterious melting dryer (this happened another time before minus the pizza box).
Now they just have to deal with the mess left behind by sprinklers and the damage left in the laundry room.

The Gospel of Thomas Uncovered
The Gospel of Thomas or as it was originally titled The Gospel According to Thomas is an early Christian writing that was uncovered outside Nag Hammadi, Egypt during the winter of 1945 among a collection of 52 other writings. It is part of what are known as the Nag Hammadi library.
These writings are quite mysterious due to the fact that unlike the other books we can find in the New Testament, this one is no where to be found as in it wasn’t included.
But within the text there is something peculiar and that it is made up of 114 sayings from Jesus Christ himself it attributes. Many of the sayings are similar to the ones you can read in the Canonical Gospels but many others are not.
The so called experts have claimed that it’s because Gnostic Christians added them to the originals but there is much room for doubt and perhaps it may have been the other way around.
Maybe the powers that be did not want the other ones to be available to the public? The introductory statement within the writings only adds to the mysteriousness;
These are the hidden words that the living Jesus spoke and Didymos Judas Thomas wrote them down.
Without regard to the fact Thomas is included within other biblical texts, scholars also claim that the true author is unknown so they attempt to discredit it.
Whether or not they are right or wrong is still to be seen. Below is a video e-book that breaks down the entire Gospel of Thomas including all 114 sayings of Jesus.
Check it out for yourself and see if you too can understand the meanings behind them.

Mysterious Highway of Tears in B.C.
There is a 500 mile section of Highway 16 in a remote area of Northern British Columbia, Canada, known to locals as the Highway of Tears. A seemingly beautiful long stretch of scenic road has turned into everything but.
Since 1969 till present there have been somewhere between 18 and 40 women that have gone missing, been the victims of violent murders or sexual assault. Some of the victims seemingly disappeared into thin air, others turned up murder victims but the most puzzling part is the fact that these cases have all gone largely unsolved. The
The majority of these cases have never had any real leads and even investigators are doubtful that they will ever solve all these cases due to lack of evidence and information.
Victims Linked to the Highway of Tears
The victims in this case range from as young as 12 to as old as 33. All of the missing persons and victims have been women and the circumstances leading up to each of them has been puzzling for all involved. The circumstances have ranged from going missing while on a bike ride to being abducted while hitchhiking.
One not often spoke about detail with these cases, is that over half of the missing women were Aboriginal. This fact has lead to many accusations that these or at least some of these disappearances were related to racism.
It has been claimed by those that are proponents of this view that no real attention were give to these cases until Caucasian women had begun to get abducted, however this is denied by investigators.
Most Recent Case File
The most recent case happened in 2011 with the disappearance of Madison Scott, a Vanderhoof native that went missing after a night of camping with friends. To make things even more odd, her truck, tent and all her belongs were still present at the location.
On top of that the last two people to have seen her, both passed polygraph tests — one being her best friend and the other her boyfriend. Shockingly enough her boyfriend’s head was found soon after passing his polygraph, in an abandoned building. His body and Madison Scott have still never been found and the cases remain unsolved.
Highway of Tears Documentary
If you’d like to hear more in depth about this mysterious situation, please check out this documentary on the disappearances on Highway 16.
Though there have been some breakthroughs in these tragic cases, these is still plenty of work to be done and many more cases to solve. If you have any information or know of anyone who might please send all tips to BC Crime Stoppers
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims families involved and we hope they too can gain the comfort of knowing that these criminals are brought to justice.
Please share this article and video with your friends and family to spread awareness and help these families get the closure they truly deserve. We will continue to keep everyone updated on all new findings.
