Woman Swallows Entire Canteen Of Cutlery

“Margaret Daalman came to hospital complaining of stomach ache – and one glance at her X-ray shows why. Surgeons in Rotterdam in the Netherlands were flabbergasted when X-rays showed 78 different items of cutlery in the 52-year-old woman’s stomach. They rushed her to surgery in a desperate attempt to remove the dozens of forks and spoons trapped inside her body one by one. ‘She seems to have been suffering from some sort of obsession and every time she sat down for a meal she would ignore the food and eat the cutlery,’ said one medic. The astonishing images were actually taken over 30 years ago – but they were published for the first time this week in a Dutch medical magazine.” w/ photos
Coyote Hit By Car, Embedded In Fender

“When a brother and sister struck a coyote at 75mph they assumed they had killed the animal and drove on. They didn’t realise this was the toughest creature ever to survive a hit-and-run. Eight hours, two fuel stops, and 600 miles later they found the wild animal embedded in their front fender – and very much alive.” w/ photos
Shark Bites Smaller Shark In Half
“A monster great white shark measuring up to 20 ft long is on the prowl off a popular Queensland beach, according to officials. Swimmers were warned to stay out of the water off Stradbroke Island after the shark mauled another smaller great white which had been hooked on a baited drum line. The 10-foot great white was almost bitten in half.” — DailyMail
Human Cat Girl

“A 6-year-old dubbed ‘cat-girl’ has baffled doctors after thick grey hair started growing uncontrollably all over her body. Until just a few months ago little Li Xiaoyuan had just a tiny birthmark on her back. But hair started to grow from the mole — and quickly spread over her entire back and is now starting to grow on her arms and face. Her dad Li Yan said: “Doctors told us it was just a birthmark even when it started spreading but now it covers half her body. “None of the other children want to play with her they are calling her cat-girl and are really mean.” Surgeon Dr Lou Zhongquan of Zhaoqing City Dermatological Hospital believes the youngster may be suffering from a rare disease that sends normal moles out of control.” w/ photos
World’s Heaviest Man Weighing In At 980lbs.

“Languishing in a reinforced bed with treats and entertainments close to hand, this is the world’s heaviest man at home. Paul Mason, who weighs 980lbs, is rarely able to leave his bed and so spends much of his life in the room, eating and playing computer games. The 48-year-old consumes around 20,000 calories a day – more than eight times what the average male is supposed to eat. And it emerged today that Mr Mason actually had an ambition to become the world’s fattest man. He lost 20 stone in hospital three years ago but reportedly told staff he didn’t really want to lose the weight. After leaving the medical unit, he gorged himself on three family-sized takeaways every day and even ate whole boxes of Sugar Puffs in one go. The total cost of his care, accommodation, benefits, medical equipment and treatment is estimated at more than $150,000 a year and has so far topped $1,500,000 million.” w/ photos
Mouse Inside PC Case

“Is that a Microsoft or Logitech mouse? Seriously, computers make great homes for mice. At the science center I worked at, we had a number of original IBM PCs and PC-XTs, plus a lone Dell 286, that had to be disposed of. Almost every one of them had mice nest in them, and the Dell (which was located in the library, though unused for some time) had an active resident! Not too pleased at the eviction, mind you. And normally, it’s the bugs you need to worry about with computers.” w/ photos

115 Girls Pregnant At Chicago High School

“It is a Chicago public school full of energy and spirit. It has about 800 girls, and 115 of them have something in common – something you might find disturbing. All those young ladies are moms or moms-to-be at Paul Robeson High School. It’s not a school for young mothers, it’s a neighborhood school. And all of the pregnancies have happened, despite prevention talk. If you want to know why, the people closest to the situation say there’s no simple explanation. Chicago Public Schools says it does not track the overall number of teen moms in the district. But Robeson Principal Gerald Morrow knows the count at his school in Englewood: 115 young ladies who are either expecting or already have had children.” w/ photo + video
