Quirky News Summary - June 17, 2011

Students Perform Autopsy On Teacher

Watching a procedure as eerie as autopsy is something no ordinary person would have wanted.  But one has no choice if it has something to do with pursuing a certain medical course that requires one to not just watch it performed by others, but to perform it personally.  Such was the case of students from one of the top medical school in Sweden.  What made the undertaking more eerie is the fact that they do it for the first time to someone closely familiar, their own deceased teacher. 
As told by students to news agency TT, the experience was filled with mixed emotions and shock.  According to one student involved it was as though something in the routine went a bit wrong.
The Chief physician of the institution, Birgitta Sundelin felt sorry that such an unfortunate incident could have happened despite her claims that students were informed beforehand as to whose body they were to examine as normally is the case.  But one student claimed otherwise and said the class only find out  the identity of their specimen cadaver  through the body’s toe bag which contained their teacher’s name.
The head of the department, Tina Dalianis, said she regretted such a  terrible incident occurred, but nonetheless saw it as a learning lesson for all the people involved .  It was part of the education in itself and that no matter how awful it was, it has to be dealt with accordingly.

Enforcement Officers Seize 'Viagra Coffee'

KUALA LUMPUR: Viagra, a popular name for Sildenafil in whose direct benefit is to aid men with erectile dysfunction in their sexual activities are secretely making rounds in the market through a coffee mixture.  The use of Viagra is only allowed to men after a medical examination along with a doctor’s recommendation.  It being a dangerous drug and a controlled substance poses a risk to those with heart ailments and with elevated high blood pressure.
A direct-selling company however, marketed a coffee mixture with a secret ingredient which guaranteed to perk-up drinkers.  That secret ingredient turned  out to be Sildenafil, otherwise known as Viagra.
This prompted the Enforcement officers from the Health Ministry to raid the direct-selling company in question in Gombak.  It was learned that the said mixtures has been distributed in sachets nationwide and sold in retail at a price between RM5 to RM10.  Such that one can almost be certain that when a coffee mixture  is priced at more than the normal price it could probably one that contains the Sildenafil.  Coffee mixture sans the chemical sildenafil is sold only at RM1 to RM2 per sachet. 
It was learned further that the said product is distributed in small quantities to evade detection from authorities and uses individuals to circulate the same in the market.
Officers seized 900 boxes that contained more than 9,000 sachets of the coffee mixture which retailed for more than RM80 per box.

Investigations revealed that the distributor attempted to mislead the public with its claim that the coffee mixture could provide an energy boost  aside from it being beneficial to men, the spokesman from the Health Ministry said.

Consumption of sildenafil without a doctor's prescription run the risk of suffering from its adverse effects such as headaches, stomach aches, hearing loss, vision impairment and muscle pain.

Gaga Threatens Breast Milk Ice-Cream Makers

Lady Gaga is one personality whose offbeat style of dressing on and off  screen makes her the kind of celebrity that she is now.
Now, a specialist ice-cream parlor in London is facing a threat for a legal battle from the famous celebrity for naming its latest breast milk creation “Baby Gaga”.
Icecreamists’ founder in London, Matt O’Connor, says he has received a letter of notice from Lady Gaga’s attorneys of the intent to sue him over the “Baby Gaga” name.  The threat goes as far as making the ice cream company go bankrupt as well as seizing the personal assets and properties of its owner.
Mat O’Connor admitted the oddity of Lady Gaga in whose peculiar outfits have promoted her quirky image and pleased her fans around the globe, had indeed inspired. him in the choice of name for the ice cream made from breast milk mixed with lemon zest and vanilla pods. He claimed however that it has nothing to do with Lady Gaga per se but has something to do with the first noise a baby makes. A response to the said letter is in the making while Lady Gaga’s solicitors,Mishcon de Reya are mum about it and would not give a comment..

London’s Westminster Council confiscated supplies for “Baby Gaga” ice cream last week due to health reasons but cleared it immediately  the week after.  In line with it, O’Connor had told Reuters he thought of considering legal action for the damage that the confiscation  issue had brought to his reputation.  In particular, he pointed out the council’s assertion that the breast milk ice-cream is unsafe as a below the belt allegation, when in fact according to him it is the safest food in the wold.

Thief Flush With Cash After Plane Heist

The ingenuity of a certain thief almost makes him $236,000 richer by swiping the amount from the cash-laden cargo hold of a Caribbean flight and sneaked out through the toilet, police report said.
 A Brink's security employee placed three sacks of cash that contains a total 1.2 million euros ($1.65 million) at  Air Antilles plane hold prior to its flight going to  the Franco-Dutch island of Saint Martin from French island Guadeloupe.
The security guard took his seat on the plane but as the flight reached its destination 40 minutes later, it was found out that 172,000 euros ($236,000) was missing from the sacks.
Police sought a man who complained of being ill and who appeared spending most of the journey in the toilet. In fact, he was removing panels to gain access to the hold in the rear of the plane.
Witnesses said that shortly prior to landing, the unidentified man - who was travelling with a woman companion who seemed concerned about his health - asked a flight attendant for an ambulance to meet him on the tarmac. But when his request was granted and the ambulance arrived, the man said he suddenly felt better  and walked out in haste from the airport until he disappeared without going through the normal security checks.
Securities questioned the woman travelling with him at the baggage arrival area but did not find any of the missing money with her.
It was the cleaners who raised the alarm as they found bundles of notes in the toilet.

Topless Sledders Pull Fans


  
Some 17 000 spectators watched a sledding competition in Germany not merely due to the contest itself but because the contestants were all topless.

Dozens of topless competitors of both genders took part in  the sledding world championship which   took place in Braunlage, with each sledding competitor wearing only a pair of briefs and a helmet.

Tobias Wannemaker, organizer of  the race said that this years competition attracted more people than ever before which despite cold conditions turned things hot because of the presence of competing naked sledders.  There were more than 400 people who applied in the third annual competition but a selection narrowed down the number to 30 from people of varied sizes, shapes and ages.  It was hoped that the selection next year will involve more people participants.
One judge said it was a very close fight which helped them anyway in studying the photo finishes.  Three hotel employees brought home the title.

Man inflated 'like balloon'

A truck driver from New Zealand was considered surprisingly lucky to be alive after being inflated "like a balloon" when he fell onto a compressed air nozzle with his buttocks first.
While  working on his truck at Opotiki on the North Island, Steven McCormack  accidentally  slipped between the cab and the trailer, that caused the compressed air hose that feeds the brakes to dislodge, the Whakatane Beacon reported.
It said that as the brass fitting by which the hose had been attached to pierced McCormack's left buttock during the fall, sending compressed air rushing into his body.
The 48-year-old driver said he felt as if he was going to explode and began to scream as his neck,  upper and lower extremities were blowing up like a balloon.
Co workers rushed to McCormack's aid, turned the compressed air off and immediately packed his swollen neck with ice.
Ambulance officers removed the brass nozzle from his buttock and rushed him to Whakatane Hospital, where a surgery was done  to drain the fluid he got from the ordeal from one of his lungs.
The freak accident which led McCormack to face and experience a life threatening situation was indeed a big surprise to have left him with another chance of life.  He said the doctors later told him that the air separated fat from muscle and they were surprised his skin did not burst.
McCormack likened his skin to that of a pork roast which he describes as hard and crackly on the outside but soft on the inside.
A hospital spokesperson confirmed details of the freak accident which sh25e said could have killed McCormack but did not and now recuperating in Whatakane Hospital under their care.  To put it simply, yes, it was luck that that made it all possible.

Area Man's Quirky Hobby Kills 27

NIPPERSINK, MI—In the past, this tiny fishing community has had its share in the news that made the place known but they were not in the magnitude that would make the place a standout of its own. 
However, a local odd character in the person of Matthew Malbert, an otherwise unassuming pharmacist and school board member has surprised the residents and law-enforcement officials recently as recent news about his peculiar passion of murdering and dismembering at least 27 known victims started circulating.
A recently uncovered human body parts found inside Malbert’s basement hobby-room surprised his unbelieving neighbors to the hilt which include his longtime bowling partner Greg Henniken who  wouldn’t have suspected that his unassuming buddy is capable of doing an outlandish act of this stature.
The sensational Marbert’s identity and his unusual and bizaare pastime appeared first in a surprise “breaking news” segment of the local news, followed by  a front page of the evening gazette and now on countless network-news features as the growing interest in the notorious character of Malbert put Nippersink in the map.
A newly discovered private journal with diagrams of the female reproductive system along with Polaroid photo collages of sawed-open human abdomens and his own small methodically handwriting, Malbert describes himself as a simple "collector’. Such bizaare scenes has already earned a front  page of Newsweek, Time, and more newspapers. In fact, this longtime Michigan resident, whose secret was until two weeks ago becomes like an open book is soon to be the subject of major profile on the popular TV program 48 Hours.
 On the advice of his court-appointed lawyer, Malbert remained mum about the whole negative issue surrounding his odd “pastime”, though a short and typical statement on his behalf was released through his attorney.  Words to the effect that the particular hobby was nothing more than a way to while away his time and doing it for himself are just some of the contents of the released statement.
Malbert's newfound fame came as a complete shock to his parents residing in their homewotn in Des Moines, IA whom reporters describe as unassuming folks. His mother describes his now famed son as someone who liked to play around with animals around the farm when he was younger and sometimes would mutilate them.  Yet, it never occurred to her that his son would go this far further claiming that he was indeed a quiet and normal boy.  She noted that perhaps a  head injury his boy suffered when he was 12 might help explain his otherwise offbeat secret personality.
FBI agent Randolf McGrant, who was flown in from Detroit to file a report on Nippersink's new local celebrity was quoted saying that this is the first time he have come across anything like this in his 25 years of forensic analysis. He feared that it will take years before one would finally conclude the full scope and magnitude of Malbert’s notorious act. Describing Malbert's work as a combination of taxidermy, sculpture, canning, cross-stitch, and "a bizarre form of poetry," McGrant says it's not likely that the media spotlight on Nippersink's most eccentric character will let up very soon.
It seems this quiet hamlet that Nippersink is has just earned a place in the history books. And it’s all because of that mild-mannered gentleman everyone simply knew as "that crazy ritual-murder guy." Well, thanks, but no, thanks.

KIM KARDASHIAN’S BUTT EXPLODES

Posted on Wednesday, May 25th, 2011
LAS VEGAS -   For years, many debated whether Kin Kardashian underwent butt inplants or not but no clear proof could prove that shed did or otherwise.  Not until a tragedy involving the said celebrity while on a private flight from New Jersey to Las Vegas.  Poor Kardashian, her left butt cheek exploded that night.
It takes quite a scary yet funny incident to prove that indeed Kim did undergo butt augmentation.  The rupturing of Kim’s butt implant occurred while his pilot took the Gulfstream 5 above 38,000 feet to avoid turbulence.  Implants have been known to rupture when they fly above this altitude and rupture it did to Kardashian’s sexy bloated artificial behind.  The unfortunate proof happened while Kim was seated next to Miles Austin, the 25-year-old Dallas wide receiver who happens to be the new man in her life as she reached for her third deep-fried Oreo cookie. The implant burst and her cheek immediately began to sag.  Pilots cleared the runway for an emergency landing at North Las Vegas Airport.  Kim was taken to Sunrise Hospital on Maryland Parkway. Her sisters, Khloe and Kourtney and mother, Kris, all rushed to the hospital to be with her.  Luckily the three were all nearby at their new boutique at the Mirage, Kardashian Khaos.
A total chaos almost happened at the hospital when Kim’s mother Kris demanded for a female plastic surgeon whose first name begins with letter K and the hospital  staff couldn’t provide one immediately.  But soon Dr. Karen Engeman showed up and replaced Kim’s left cheek implant. The doctor said they have encountered few similar cases in the past and added that it is not always safe to fly with a silicone-filled butt. Kim’s boyfriend,Austin, was the first one to slap Kim’s new left cheek saying it  felt good.
While Kim is resting at her Las Vegas home  and is expected to make a full recovery soon,  Austin, on the other hand, feels that the tragic accident was not due to Implant Altitude Syndrome (IAS), but rather attributes it to something more than that. He pointed out Reggie Bush as behind the whole incident..  He alleges that Reggie Bush wants to get back at Kim for dumping him and added that it is not going to work, and proceed to say that all of Kim is his now that would include both cheeks of her but. 
 When asked by WWN  how he thinks Bush planted the butt IED, Austin said that Reggie’s always been a sneaking guy and proceed to tell a story about Reggie being able to snuck into the hotel he was staying with Kim at New Jersey and knocked them both with something whereby the guy injected some explosive serum into her girlfriend’s left butt cheek.  Afterwhich, he said Reggie paid off the pilots and had them fly to high altitude.  He called the man sick jealous.
When Bush was asked about Austin’s accusations , the former blew his top and warned the latter  to shut up or he would blow his ass next.
Doctors on the other hand advise all women with butt implants to speak with their plastic surgeon before boarding another plane
On the other hand, despite explosive new information, there are still some who refuse to believe Kim has or had butt implants.  If the latest incident is not, nobody knows what is.

The syndrome affects one out of nearly 5,000 births, according to the Magic Foundation. Eva Ottoson, Sara's 56-year-old mother,is a willing giver as she believes that it is the only  way her daughter could have a child by herself ato  told BBC News.
Eva Ottoson agreed to donate her uterus in hopes that her daughter could one day give birth.
Women who live with the syndrome generally adopt or undergo surrogacy to start a family. In the case of Eva,  she’s still going to adopt nonetheless should the transplant doesn’t work.
The transplant of human uterus has been attempted to someone in the past but so far none have resulted into a successful pregnancies.
While this is not the first attempt at a human uterus transplant, none have resulted in successful pregnancies.
"It'll be a challenge," said Dr. Charles Coddington, chairman of reproductive medicine at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., who is not involved in the Ottosons' case. "It seems like even the animal techniques have not been totally worked out."
The mother and daughter Ottosons are expected to undergo the transplant in spring of 2012.
