And Now...

Some things to feel good about:



Delroy Simmonds, a 30-year-old unemployed father of two, was on his way to a job interview on Monday when a gust of wind blew a baby stroller onto the subway tracks in Brooklyn. A crying baby was inside.

Without hesitation, Simmonds jumped onto the tracks to save bleeding nine-month-old David Zamara just before the train arrived.

"I jumped down and I snatched the baby up," Simmonds told NY Daily News. "The train was coming around the corner as I lifted the baby from the tracks. I really wasn't thinking."



His heroic deed caused him to miss his interview.

On Wednesday, Simmonds was reunited with the baby he saved — right after accepting a new full-time job offer with a janitorial company.

"That's the little man that got me a job today," Delroy Simmonds said during a reunion with little Zamara and his mother, Maria, at Brookdale University Hospital and Medical Center where the child was treated for minor injuries.

"It feels amazing. Just seeing him alive."




My God, this changes everything:







The March of the Ducks:


 A Chinese farmer caused chaos on the roads when he ducked out to feed his flock of 5,000.

Hong brought streets in the eastern city of Taizhou to a standstill when, accompanied by a colleague, he took his animals to a pond.

Armed with nothing but a cane, he guided his feathered friends three quarters of a mile as part of an annual tradition in Zhejiang province.

Puppy stampede!

People like Mr. Simmonds are enough to restore one's faith in humanity. What a brave and unselfish act. That person is OBVIOUSLY not a feminist.

What tipped you off- his selflessness or that he wasn't handed a government job?
