James Humphries, 34, or Newquay, England, considers oysters "the perfect hangover cure."

"'I eat a couple of oysters every Saturday morning. They are the perfect hangover cure - refreshing, tasty, and much better than a can of Red Bull," he told the DailyMail.

Last Saturday morning, after a night of heavy drinking, Humphries bought two fresh oysters from local fishmongers for breakfast.

While he was eating his way to sobriety, he discovered a pearl in one of the mollusks.

"I thought a filling had fallen out. It was only when I spat it out that I discovered it was a pearl," he told the Mirror. "It's small, but perfectly formed and I absolutely love it."

The fishmonger who sold Humphries the oyster said that in the 80 years his family business has been operating, there's never been a pearl in one of their oysters.

"I've been here for 30 years and sold thousands of oysters — but I've never seen a pearl come out of one," fishmonger Gareth Horner said. "My dad has been in the business even

Last October, Al Packard purchased a record player from a flea market in Greenville, South Carolina.

Inside was a WWII Purple Heart, awarded to Sergeant James Carithers.

Packard wanted to reunite the medal with the soldier's family. His online search led him to 17-year-old Andrew Staton, a researcher for Genealogytrails.com.

"I'm most amazed by him that he actually took the time to start researching and start trying to piece it together himself, and he contacted us at Genealogy Trails, and we kind of took it from there," Staton told FOX Carolina.

Staton found a 2000 post on a genealogy website that mentioned Carithers by Arrista Pottle, Carither's niece. Her email address was included.

Staton relayed the information to Packard who then contacted

In Spain, an ATM machine dispenses free cash to people willing to share it with others.

"El Cajero de la felicidad," or "The ATM of Happiness," is part of Coca-Cola's "Share Happiness" campaign.

Gizmodo's Jesus Diaz offered a little background information on the significance of free money in his home country:

"You probably have heard that it's suffering a terrible recession. The situation is terrible: six million people without a job, corrupt politicians everywhere, gangster banks repossessing homes after receiving bailouts funded by taxpayers, and inept bureaucrats running every institution of the country. People are fed up, disgusted and poor. But there's hope, as this video shows."

"Get 100 euros ($131). Without card," a sign above the machine, which has been placed in different Spanish cities, reads.

The only condition for the free cash? The receiver must share their

Abayed, a six-year-old herding dog was paralyzed by a bullet to his spine two years ago.

A stranger mistook the dog, whose name means "white," for a stray dog and attempted to kill him as part of a program to cut down on strays in Jordan, the Daily Mail reported.

Abayed's owners, who are shepherds, found him howling in pain but unable to move and rushed him to the Humane Center for Animal Welfare near Amman, Jordan.

"The group, which was established in 2000, achieves this goal by rehabilitating and sheltering injured wildlife, providing free veterinary care to animals with economically disadvantaged caregivers, conducting informational programs, performing animal rescue work and supporting animal-welfare legislation. The Center opened a veterinary hospital in 2007, the first of its kind in Jordan," Supreme Master Television reported about the centre.

Margaret Ledger, the director at the shelter, saw that "it was clear that the animal wanted to live," so Abayed was not only spared from

On Sunday, a lucky car accident led Swedish police to a missing toddler.

According to the Local, police officers skidded off a snow-covered road into a ditch. When the officers got out of the vehicle to push it free, they heard a little girl whimpering nearby.

The officers trudged through waist-deep snow to find the cold but healthy toddler.

The 2-year-old girl, barefoot and lightly dressed, had wandered away from her family's home in Ljusdal, central Sweden three hours earlier. Police had been notified and an extensive search was underway.

"We immediately started an extensive search as it was deemed a serious case," Paul Edenström of the Gävleborg county police told the Aftonbladet newspaper.

"We were on our way up with helicopters from Stockholm and we had dogs and all the available police resources at hand."

Before helicopters started to search for her, however, the officers' accident led them straight to her.

"She was frozen and sad, but she didn't need any medical attention. The

Vice spoke with Victoria Station's most popular announcer:

"I try my best, know what I mean? If I can make someone's day better, I do that. We make each other's day a better day. You smile, I smile, the whole world smile, you know? That's the way you have to do it, man. I feel happy when people smile because of me. You know why? With the economy nowadays, you don't know what people are going through, and if they can take their mind off all the things going on in their personal life, in their job life, that one moment of happiness can make a big difference. I like to see people happy, man – seriously," Downer told the magazine.

In the wake of the Sandy Hook shootings last December, the mother/daughter team of Katie and Kenzie Whelan launched a kindness campaign in Fort August, Prince Edward Island.

The duo set out to perform 28 good deeds: one act of kindness for each of the 20 children and six adults killed, one for the shooter's murdered mother, and one deed to represent the Sandy Hook community.

Their first deed was performed on December 19, when the Whelans lefts Christmas cards signed "Best wishes from a friendly stranger" on the windshields of 26 cars in a Charlottetown mall parking lot in memory of 6-year-old Sandy Hook victim Charlotte Bacon.

"Katie and Kenzie have started an incredible chain of kindness as we are going to pay it forward with a good deed to someone else," Amber Praught, a recipient of the Whelans' kindness, told the Guardian in December.

"What a magnificent way to teach our children that there is also good in the world. Thank you Katie and Kenzie for including our family in your kind

Reverend Bob Mason posted details of Royal Marin James McConnell's funeral on Facebook, hoping that the man who died without relatives in a care home in Southsea, Hampshire, wouldn't be buried at Milton Cemetery without mourners.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, in this day and age it is tragic enough that anyone has to leave this world with no one to mourn their passing, but this man was family and I am sure you will agree deserves a better send off," Mason wrote on Facebook. "If you can make it to the graveside for that time to pay your respects to a former brother in arms then please try to be there."

More than 200 strangers showed up to honour the 70-year-old veteran's life, including a significant Marine presence.

"The great majority of you who have come here today did not know James McConnell but wanted him to have a dignified farewell," Mason said at the funeral. "I thank you for that kindness and generosity of spirit."
