Cat Girl

Some girl from China is turning into a cat. Gray, not black, so I guess her luck is not all that bad ;)

Clicky.

A tree grows in Brook-lung

A tree. In a man’s lung. For reals!
Before clicking on this link, please be sure you want to see this. Imagine a seed germinating in the soft tissue inside your body. Roots, well, take root; feeding a sapling with moisture from your own lungs. Pine needles develop, and soon you have a TREE inside you!
We’ve all heard the old adage, “Don’t swallow watermelon seeds if you don’t want to grow a watermelon patch in your belly.” Now, we have evidence that it might be based on some kind of miracle-weirdness half-truth!

Spider man walks again

The Brown Recluse Spider is the most gorgeous creature that ever walked the planet.

If you ever needed evidence that spiders are good, look no further.

Though the article doesn’t say much about the science of it, it’s an interesting… well, at the very least, an interesting coincidence.

A Paraplegic man was bitten by a Brown Recluse, and now he walks again. Methinks perhaps they should look into the beneficial qualities of its venom!

It’s not easy being broken

Must be frog season. They apparently make for great puns. This article about a poor froggy who broke both of her legs clocks in at an alarming 25% pun rate. Luckily the nice folks at St Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital have suited her up with casts to make her all better.

Bonus: The writer for the article is Jennifer Brain (could that be a typo?). With a name like that she’s bound to be either a zombie or an anti-zombite.

Ronnie & Donnie, conjoined twins

The Sun is there. We’ve all heard of them. We don’t always know their names, but if you’ve never seen video or pictures of Ronnie and Donnie, the oldest living conjoined twins, you must live under a rock. You can see pictures along with the Sun’s article here. I don’t think their image should be associated with “bogey news” or “freakiness.” But, what could they do to make money if not cater to the curiosities of others. Even their own mother couldn’t handle the idea of raising conjoined twins. They should be an inspiration to anyone who thinks they are behind the eight ball in life. Ronnie and Donnie share reproductive and digestive parts, but each have their own set of arms and legs.

They’ve recently come to poor health, and expect their lives may end soon. It seems like a scary thing to face. Your conjoined twin brother dies, and you’re still alive. Then all you can do is wait. I don’t envy their position, but I envy their close relationship. Though they actually settle their differences with physical fights sometimes, they have a bond that is so rare, only they can tell their story. That is why they are being filmed for a documentary.

I hope they continue to live happily with each other. Stay cool, Ronnie and Donnie.

Not for the squeamish

Yuckers. I found this list in a blog by Robert Brockway. He was completely grossed out by his list of “Most Disturbing Animals,” and I can’t say I blame him. These are creatures that will never come close to being cute. No matter how much I try, I just can’t bring myself to take one home.
How he managed to compile this list in three parts is beyond my ghoulish comprehension. I tip my fangs to you, Mr. Brockway. You have won the award for actually grossing me out.

Roberts lists get progressively more disgusting, so I’ve listed the worst first. However, you’ll find my two favorites posted below. Quite tame by his list’s standards.

Avert your eyes if you are squeamish.

This one goes to twelve

WPIX may have a new Chiller Theater hand.

The cutest human baby possible was born recently. He has six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. He’s a natural to play the part of a live-action Chiller hand if WPIX ever wants to make a new opening.
None of the extra digits are nonfunctional. I hope they let the little prince keep them all.

Read about it here.

Pur-Pur-fect

Quasimodo x 2. These or this is the most adorable little kitty-kitty! I wonder if there should be a special place for all these kinds of special kitties who need special attention.
Quasimodo was born with two faces, and both are adorable.

/CAT\

Cats seem to be the topic of the hour these days. Here’s a cat who has “wings.” His owner was so sure that the cat would fly away he clipped one of the “wings” off. If you love something tie it up, and keep it in the basement, right? What a wacko.
Actually these flaps have a scientific explanation, but I’m going to believe they were wings. This way I can feel vindicated in paying the owner a visit in the middle of the night. Idiot blood is the sweetest blood there is.

CAAAAT

Yoda, the 4-eared cat.

After finding so many dead rubber monsters lately in the news, it’s a pleasure to dig this up. A four eared cat. The Sun hasn’t much to say about him, but click if you like.
I wish I could adopt this cat. He’s absolutely gorgeous!

Acid-wash genes

Maybe the reason you like horror movies, and you can laugh off the fright and gore, is that you have a specific gene activated. Or more accurately, deactivated. Turns out humans had a gene to scare more easily. Between fight and flight, flight made more sense for survival.
In other words your DNA has not advanced if you don’t like horror. Makes sense to me.

This little piggie returned from the dead

Here’s a strange medical miracle story that will gross you all out, hands down. An old man running a hobby shop cut off his finger with the propeller of a model airplane, but it grew back! There’s a video in the link. Not for the squeamish.
