Iranian women got a... frog

The Iranian daily Etemaad says the creature is believed to have grown from larva to an adult frog inside her body.
While it is unclear how this could have happened, the paper carries quotes from medical experts who say there are human characteristics to the animal.
It has been speculated that the woman, who has not been named, unknowingly picked up the larva while she was swimming in a dirty pool.
The woman, from the south-eastern city of Iranshahr, is a mother of two children.

The "so-called frog", as the newspaper puts it, has yet to undergo precise genetic and anatomic tests.
But it quotes clinical biology expert Dr Aminifard as saying: "The similarities are in appearance, the shape of the fingers and the size and shape of the tongue."

2. Find A Telephone

3. Use Your Back-Up Computer

4. Install A Game

5. Perform Routine Maintenance (this is my way truly...)

6. Turn On A Television Or Radio

7. Read

8. Go Outside

The idea of leaving your workstation may seem a little extreme


9. Spend Time With Your Spouse

Communicating with your wife or girlfriend may seem like a radical suggestion, but the time investment may offer long-term rewards. WARNING: These will probably be the longest hours of your life.


10. Use Your Emergency AOL Disk and kill yourself with it...

Blame it on the carbs


Avril Lavigne blames carbs for her angry lyrics. Of course. There's always something to blame for what you are doing. In the sixties the one to blame was the state, in the seventies blame fell on the system. The eighties people blamed their parents and ancestors. In the nineties the market and the capital were to blame and now we blame the carbs. Is this what we call evolution?

"I was eating bad stuff," Lavigne said. "Lots of sugar and carbs, junk food all the time. It makes you very irritated. I spent some time with a nutritionist and learned I had low blood sugar. Now I eat accordingly." (do anyone see the pun in this?). Read more horror stories about what the evil carbs will do at CarbWire.

Another site that blame it on the carbs (I suppose since that would be the only logical explanation) is McMurder. These people are holding the belief that there's statistically more murders when you got a McDonald's restaurant nearby (hello - the McD-hangouts are everywhere). The prove it by using an extensive timeline since the sixties.

To be honest - they got silch when coming to the fact that statistically there's something called random.

How to define this service? A virtual childproof version of escort? The service is including "every week you will receive a one to three page handwritten letter, personally addressed to you, on pretty stationary sprayed with perfume. Most girlfriends also send pictures and/or other special gifts (ie: lingerie). " and this would then make friends and family drop the subject of you never getting laid. I can imagine: "Hey Mom, look what I got from XX in the mail today! A couple of g-strings!"...

That's interesting. What interest me the most is: who the hell have counted?! I mean: bird-watching okey, the birds do fly. But hedgehog-watching mean looking at a pile of autumnleaves in hours waiting for the little one to come out.

And hold your horses: there's more from where that come from. At the The International Hedgehog Registry you can register "your hedgehogs". And the sites mission statements is:

1. To preserve and improve the quality of the species, and to keep track of the progress of our efforts.

2 To improve knowledge of inherited traits, toward the goal of eliminating those characteristics that have a negative impact on hedgehog longevity and health and increasing those traits that enhance the species.

3 To track the demographics and distribution of pet hedgehogs.

4 To connect hedgehog owners and breeders with one another, to the enhancement of the hedgehog community.

"Pet hedgehogs"? Why's that? There's not that kind of cuddly little fur-ball that one should want to have in the bed. People are strange...
