Man blows up house after watching TV show

Police say a suicidal pennyslyvania man blew up his house after watching a TV show about the Hindenburg, the airship that exploded in 1937.

Forty-seven-year-old Shawn Landa is still recovering from his injuries in the Oct. 12 blast that destroyed his Moon Township home, about 10 miles west of Pittsburgh.

Police on Thursday charged him with arson and related crimes.

They say in court papers that Landa confessed to breaking a natural gas line in his home, expecting that something would ignite it while he took a nap. Police say the blast didn't happen, Landa woke up and he ignited the gas when he lit a cigarette.
He apparently learnt a little about natural gas from the movie.

Police say Landa was distraught over being unemployed and not having custody of his children. He told police of other recent suicide attempts.

2yr old chinese boy delivered of his twin

Earlier this week, a two year old (Xiao Feng) chinese boy who had a protruding stomach and difficulty breathing was delivered of his parasitic twin brother, doctors conducted an MRI scan on the boy when he was rushed to the hospital and found out that the reason for his breathing problem was as a result of a fetus present in him!

Imagine a toddler male giving birth! 

As odd as this sounds, this condition named 'fetus in fetus' is actually well documented, it occurs in 1 in every 500,000 births, before this present case, in September 2011, a 41 year old Indonesian man was delivered of his parasitic twin, now that is strange--- carrying a baby for 41 years! Women around the world have to give this man an award, lol.

World's hairest teenager

If you think you are hairy, I doubt you are as hairy as this young lady, yep! you heard me, the hairiest teenager is female, I know it sounds odd, but its true, guys are usually more hairy than women, hair growth and distribution on the skin is dictated by the presence of the hormone testosterone, that's why, most girls have smooth skins with hairless faces and guys are generally hairy.
Supatra Sasuphan from Thailand is an exception to the general rule, she's not just an exception, she is the best teenager at being hairy...

From the smile on her face, its apparent that she's happy being the world's hairiest teenager.
