The Simpsons predicted the future again, and this time there isn’t any controversy about whether or not the episode actually aired. Fans of the show recently pointed out that there is a scene in a 2014 episode where Richard Branson takes a flight into space. This is strange because Branson took a flight into space earlier this week with his company Virgin Galatic.

A scene in the episode showed an animated version of Branson in his spaceship, and it looked exactly like photos that were taken of the actual event.

The scene appeared on the 5th episode of season 25 and was very quick. The whole episode was not about Branson or space travel, it was about a painting. In one scene, there were multiple shots that showed different people looking at the painting, and one of those people was Richard Branson in space.

Even the Virgin Atlantic Twitter account took notice of the similarities and posted a Tweet saying “The Simpsons predicted it…”

However, Branson has had ambitions of going to space for a very long time. He founded Virgin galactic back in 2004 and had even said he planned on using the company for space flights very early on.

What this means is that The Simpsons might not be predicting the future like Nostradamus, but the writers must just be very informed about what is going on in the world which allows them to get lucky with their guesses more often than not. The Simpsons also predicted that Donald Trump would be president, but he had political ambitions long before his campaign in 2016.

Trump actually had a short-lived campaign for president during the 2000 election, but he didn’t make much of an impact and many people forgot. The Simpsons didn’t seem to forget though, because they included this theme in an episode before his next campaign began in 2016.

A 32-year-old mother named Teah Vincent lured two 14-year-old boys back to her home and had sex with one of them, after witnessing the young boys playing football near her home. She still carried out the act despite the victim telling her that he was still in school, according to prosecutors.

Vincent invited the two boys back to her home in Woolaston, Gloucestershire, by offering them a glass of water.

She took one of the boys up to her bedroom and then had sex with him, according to prosecutors.

Vincent has three children, all of whom are in primary school. She admits to having sex with the boy on October 21st, 2018 but claims that she believed the boy was over 16 at the time.

Prosecutor Christopher Smyth told the jury that Vincent offered the boys a glass of water back at her home around 5 pm after they spent the day playing football at Woolaston Memorial Hall, which is located near her house.

The prosecutor said, “The boys took up Ms. Vincent’s offer and went back to her home. One of the boys knew Vincent but the alleged victim didn’t. They sat down at the kitchen table. Ms. Vincent said she thought she knew one of them and said to him that she understood he had a child on the way.”

“He told her he was only 14 and was still at school,” he added.

In fact, prosecutors say that the three had a lengthy discussion about school before Vincent began talking about her body and sex.

She then invited the younger boy upstairs and told him to sit down on the bed. She then left the room and reappeared a few moments later after removing her clothes.

Vincent then allegedly mounted the teenager and initiated sex without talking to him about it first.

The victim described Vincent ‘bouncing up and down on him’ for around five minutes, and reportedly did not expect anything like that to happen.

“He says there was no discussion at all. The boy had a strong feeling that the situation was not right,” Smyth said.

The boy reportedly pushed her off of him, got dressed, and fled downstairs.

The victim’s friend said that he heard sexual sounds coming down the stairs. He felt awkward and he left the house for a short while before returning.

Vincent’s attorney Catherine Flint insists that the boys told her that they were 18 before the incident took place, and then admitted to being 16 once entering the house.

In the police interview, the victim said, ‘The woman told us she was insecure about her body and that she covers herself up quickly when she gets out of the shower.”

The victim said that he thought the woman was taking him upstairs to play games.

“She invited me upstairs and I thought she had a gaming system or television. It was only me she invited. My friend stayed downstairs. She asked me to sit on the bed and left the room for a short while. When she returned she was naked,” he said.

Vincent has pleaded not guilty and the trial is still ongoing.

Alligators and crocodiles are not an unusual sight in Florida, but seeing one this big is certainly strange. This massive alligator was seen wandering through a Naples golf course, shocking many of the nearby residents.

The spotting took place at Valencia Golf and Country Club, and numerous bystanders posted videos of the encounter online. At first, when an image began to go viral online, many commenters believed that it was photoshopped, but then a video was later posted to confirm that the encounter actually happened.

“Gator Girl” Christy Kroboth told CNBC that she thinks the massive alligator was “real.”

“I’ve seen huge gators, the biggest one I ever caught was 12.5 feet, and that’s enormous, they’re huge, they’re out there,” said Kroboth

“When we had Hurricane Harvey, the water rose and it pushed alligators everywhere. It’s also getting close to the alligator’s hibernation season, so he could be looking for a den to hunker down in for the winter season,” Kroboth added.

Other experts have said that there’s nothing abnormal about the size of the gator.

“Not very many people get to see alligators high walk,” John Brueggen, director at St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park, told Huffington Post in an email. “But there is nothing abnormal about this alligator.”

It is estimated that about 1.3 million alligators live in Florida.

Female alligators rarely exceed 10 feet in length, but males can grow much larger. The Florida state record for length is a 14 foot 3-1/2 inch male from Lake Washington in Brevard County. The Florida record for weight is a 1,043 pound (13 feet 10-1/2 inches long) male from Orange Lake in Alachua County.

Alligator attacks are actually extremely rare, even in Florida.

Florida alligator bite statistics date back to 1948, ranging around three major bites per year. The chance of someone being attacked is one in 3.2 million. The worst years for fatalities were 2001 and 2006, with three people dying each of those years from Florida alligator attacks. And there have only been 23 fatalities between 1948 and 2016. There have even been stretches during which no fatal attacks by alligators occurred in Florida.
