THE INTERWEBS — The past year has been nothing short of insane, full of big news and truly eye-popping events.<br /><br />So as 2018 comes to an end, what better way to reflect on the year that was than by looking back on all the crazy, stupid, disgusting, daring, and mind-boggling stories that broke the internet.<br /><br />Kim Jong Un started off the year with a bang - literally- by accidentally blowing up his own city in January.<br /><br /><br />The love month wasn't great for one college student, after she flushed her hamster best friend down the crapper.<br /><br />In March, news came out that we may have finally found Amelia Earhart, and come April, one pup reminded us that dogs are indeed man's best friend. <br /><br />Sadly, not everyone is so lucky. In May, we were introduced to the unluckiest man in history, who looked like he'd been crushed by a giant rock while fleeing the Pompeii eruption back in the day.<br /><br />June saw one woman living out everyone's worst nightmare- parasites crawling under your skin.<br /><br />Speaking of nightmares, hearts pounded all around the world as a dozen boys went missing in a Thai cave. A month later in July, the brave, resilient boys were finally rescued, and we all heaved a collective sigh of relief.<br /><br />Meanwhile, on the other end of the bravery spectrum, a 'cowardly' dude in China refused to face his fear of heights despite having a relationship, a new car, and some sweet cash on the line. <br /><br />September got weird fast, thanks to the gross phenomenon that is black hairy tongue.<br /><br />October didn't get any better, especially with Chinese tourists ruining some rare grass for the sake of a selfie. <br /><br />The Chinese continue making headlines through November, as one woman tries to save money by binging on only instant noodles for three weeks. Newsflash: it doesn't end well. <br /><br />December got even more insane and terrifying, with a plane engine cover falling off during takeoff. Can you imagine?<br /><br />No doubt 2018 was cray. But 2019 is probably going to get even crazier. Brace yourselves.
