Bedbugs Dig the Library, Too!

Nice. Bedbugs can hitch rides on library books, hidden in the spines of hardcovers. That's lovely. Time to send in the bedbug-sniffing dog!

Localized Giantism

This story made the rounds about a year ago. Kaleem was born with hands twice the size of a normal baby, and they have continued to grow. At the age of eight, each hand weighed 30 pounds, and his condition remained undiagnosed and untreated. See the original video on the Mirror website.

The attention given to Kaleem and his undiagnosed condition gained him some much needed exposure, and doctors who saw the story recognized his condition as macrodactyly, otherwise known as localized giantism.

Doctors are working to help the boy and it sounds like a documentary has been done charting his journey. Check out the update on DailyMail.com.

My Dad's My Uncle

Baby Yoga

Please tell me that I'm not the only one horribly disturbed by this video! Even if this woman knows anatomy and what she is doing, I can't imagine someone else deciding to try this with their own baby, and twisting their arm out of the socket or something. Ugh!

I can't believe that this horse survived. He was in the frozen water for hours, and the water actually froze around him.

Fennec hunting a scorpion. This fox reminds me of my puppy, the way he runs all over so excitedly. The scorpion takes entirely too long to die. Sucks to be eaten alive...

It's the same old story. Cat chases mouse up Christmas tree. Cat gets stuck in tree, while mouse perches up top and laughs until he pees himself...
