Praying Mantis seems an innocent insect… but it’s not !

August 29th, 2010 by Mike | No Comments | Filed in Weird

Mantises are exclusively predatory. Insects form the primary diet, but larger species have been known to prey on small lizards, frogs, birds, snakes, fish and even rodents; they will prey upon any species small enough to successfully capture and devour. Most species of mantis are known to engage in cannibalism.

Most people consider these insects to be rather innocent… but this is because they don’t mess with humans. In the following videos i will proove you wrong ! (more…)

At 14 years old and 6′9” (204cm), Elisany Silva is the tallest teenager in the world. Her height hasn’t come without problems–she had to leave school and her parents don’t have enough money to determine the cause of or treat her inordinate growth. But Elisany wants to make the best of her size, explaining that she is interested in modeling. She will reportedly be making her runway debut at a bridal fashion show in Belem, Brazil. (more…)

Girl Eats 15 times per day !

July 11th, 2010 by Mike | No Comments | Filed in FrickMeOut, Weird

The syndrome that I am living with is so rare that it is to this day undiagnosed. There are only 3 people in the world including myself who have it. Amanda, the oldest of the three is in her 30’s and lives with her husband Richard in England.  Abigail the youngest is 13 and lives in Austin as well. I’ve seen many different research doctors throughout my life and there just aren’t any answers.  What the syndrome causes is that I’m not able to gain weight.  I’m 19 years old right now and only weigh about 60 lbs.  I have zero percent body fat as well.  I’m also blind in one eye and have limited vision in the other.

I eat whatever I want all day long and just can’t keep the pounds on.  The syndrome is so puzzlng because it fits characteristics of different syndromes but doesn’t fit it to the point where I can be diagnosed with a certain one.  For example, one of the big ones is progeria.  I have a lot of the same physical features as kids with progeria.  Like the pointed nose, small mouth, and appearing with aging skin.  The difference is that progeria is terminal and has a lot more complications.  My only thing is the characteristics that I just listed.

The elephant man

The real elephant man

The real elephant man

Huang Chuncai was diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis, and received a second operation on January 3, 2008 to lessen the 50-pound tumor from his face. The surgery was performed in China and removed 9.9 pounds of the tumor.

Named the “Elephant Man” by the press, Chuncai has lived most of his life in seclusion. The tumor first developed when Chuncai was four, and at the age of 10, he left school after being taunted by classmates. His family operates a farm, but could not afford the costly surgeries to remove the tumors. Fuda Hospital, in southern China, was contacted about Chuncai and offered to assist.

His first surgery was in July 2007, where 10 doctors removed 33 pounds of the tumor. The tumor contains many blood vessels, heightening the risk of excessive bleeding during each operation. The weight of the tumors have bent Chuncai’s backbone and left him barely able to speak or eat. Even after the tumors are removed, Chuncai will require further operations to remove the excess skin on his face. (more…)
