Incredibeard performs acrobatic stunts with his beard

Fondly known as Mr Incredibeard Isaiah Webb used his beard-y powers to showcase his thick overgrowth of facial hair by transforming it into various weird shapes and styles.

*Twenty-nine-year-old Isiah is blessed with amazing genes that have helped him grow a truly legendary beard. But he isn't content with just having a long bear*d.

Calling himself 'Mr. Incredibeard' he says: "Beards run in my family, so I've always really known; it's kind of tradition. One of my ancestors, Jay Gould, was a rail-road tycoon with a pretty awesome beard, and we actually look alike in many ways. Maybe one day I will be able to make a few billion dollars as a beard tycoon."

Isiah wears his beard in so many creative ways - a bowl to eat noodles from, a 'bearded elf beard', a 'stairway to heaven beard', and even a 'fries and a beard shake'. He actually uses his beard to hold a burger, some fries and a shake so that his hands are completely free.

Webb gives most of the credit for Incredibeard to his wife - she pushes him to keep growing it and comes up with unique design ideas. "She brings the beard art to life," he said. "Incredibeard would be nothing without her."

But Mr. Incredibeard's work goes way beyond his beard. Through his project and blog, he tries to raise money for good causes. Currently, Webb is trying to raise funds to provide clean water to children, by selling Incredibeard merchandise. We are using the inherent power of the beard to battle the lack of clean water throughout the world," he wrote on his blog.

"In an effort to limit the amount of children deaths per year we have partnered with World Vision, an non-profit humanitarian organisation. Through this partnership we are providing children with access to lean water."

Isiah practically worships his beard and encourages all men to try growing one.

"The greatest and most profound thing a man can do is grow a beard,"he said. "Every man should attempt to grow a beard at one point in their life.

Whether or not they succeed is not the point, all that matters is that they try. A true beard is not on your face, but in your heart."

America's cat island

Tonawanda Island, a small patch of land located off the city of North Tonawanda, in Niagara County, New York, is faced with a big cat problem. Hundreds of abandoned felines freely roam the 85-acre island, and they're multiplying at an alarming rate.

Believe it or not, there are already more cats than people on the island! According to Danielle Cooligan an islander living there most of these cats are forgotten or unwanted pets who were left to fend for themselves.

"They're just everywhere," said Wayne Howard of North Tonawanda. "People drop them off.

I've caught people dumping them on the road; they just unload them on the island." While most of the island's human residents are seasonal, the cats live there all year round. Most of them hide during the day and come out at night. "The messes they make, especially the faeces around the island and where people walk, it's disgusting," Howard said. "I've caught them on my boat a few times and they made messes; they're just a problem." Coogan said that she's launched Operation Island Cats, through which she hopes to fix the problem, one cat at a time. She's already trapped 10 cats in the past 10 days.

"They're just cats that no one really cares about so we are going to try and clean up the island," she said. The kittens will be put up for adoption, but the adult cats will be returned to the island. "They're going to be spayed and neutered, they're going to be vaccinated and they're going to live the rest of their days on their beautiful island home where they're comfortable and they're not going to keep reproducing." She has also arranged for a few people to come in several times a week to fill trays of food for the cats.

It will cost Coogan $25 to neuter each cat though, so she is trying to raise money.

Beetles destroy Beatles Memorial Tree

It is so ironic to hear that a tree planted in memory of the famous Beatle George Harrison has been destroyed by actual beetles.

This memorial tree planted in the Griffith Park, Los Angeles was removed after its death caused by bark beetle infestation.

The George Harrison memorial tree was planted in 2004 near the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles, Calif. to memorialise the legacy of the singer-songwriter who passed away in 2001 at the age of 58 following a bout with lung cancer.

The tree - which was planted as a sapling - had grown to 10 feet tall by 2013. However, the beetle infestation was just too much for the pine, as Los Angeles Councilman Tom LaBonge said.

Other trees in Griffith Park have experienced similar fates, being felled by other tree-hating bugs like bark beetles and ladybug beetles.

However, while the tree may have died, the memorial plaque which lay at the base of the tree remains. Furthermore, the tree will be replanted soon.

We're sure that George, who spent his last days in LA and was an avid gardener, would appreciate the gesture.

The plaque reads: "In memory of a great humanitarian who touched the world as an artist, a musician and a gardener."

It also includes a quote from the Yogi Maharishi Mahesh (George died as a Hindu practitioner): "For the forest to be green, each tree must be green" The tree was removed last month. Labonge says it will be related in the fall.
