About 500 rock circles have been found in California’s Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. In less than 10 square miles of the park’s grounds, these ancient rings dot the landscape and no one is sure why. Experts are having a hard time nailing down the age of the rocks themselves. What we do know is these didn’t form by themselves. In a phone interview with FOX5SanDiego, associate state archaeologist in Southern California Hayley Elsken said “There’s no way the rock line circles are naturally occurring.”  Another weird thing is how concentrated just this one area is with them. Archaeologist Malcolm J.…

Oakland, California resident Kirsten Seymour has had 12 Blythe dolls, worth roughly $20,000, stolen from her home. Blythe dolls were put on the market in the U.S. in 1972 to compete with Mattel’s Barbie, except these dolls were inspired by the cartoon character Betty Boop and Margaret Keane’s “Big Eyes” paintings. The results give the dolls distinctive disproportionately large heads and huge glassy eyes. These features, while endearing to some, were deemed too disturbing for children and they were discontinued a year later. The Blythe dolls have exaggerated- and possibly unnerving- features have gained them a cult following among adults,…
