Play Pizza Roulette, burn your tastebuds all to Hell
In a promotion from Hell Pizza in New Zealand, order the Pizza Roulette pie and they’ll hide one of “the hottest peppers known to mankind” on one of the slices. Invite your friends over and when someone’s face melts off, you’ve got a winner. Or a loser. Or if the friend has an adverse reaction, you may be trying to find a discreet place to bury a body at three in the morning.

Giant prawn found off the coast of New Zealand. We’re gonna need a bigger barbie.
Scientists aren’t sure how this prawn got so damn big, but this “supergiant amphipod” measures a foot in length. It’s one ugly son of a bitch, but with a little cocktail sauce, is probably pretty damn tasty.

World’s largest insect discovered in New Zealand
Adventurer Mark Moffett has found the world’s biggest insect - which is so huge it can eat carrots. The former park ranger discovered the giant weta up a tree and his real life Bugs Bunny has now been declared the largest ever found. He came across the cricket-like creature, which has a wing span of seven inches, after two days of searching on a tiny island. The creepy crawly is only found on Little Barrier Island, in New Zealand. The species was wiped off the mainland by rats accidentally introduced by Europeans.

Beautiful video of snow falling in Wellington, NZ yesterday
Yesterday saw snowfall in Wellington, NZ for the first time in 30 years. Thirty years? Really? You guys are pretty far south, seems like you should get snow every winter. Regardless, Ro Tierney captured people’s surprise and glee when snow started to come down, because snow is fucking awesome and every country should have snow.
