Chickens have a great ability to keep their heads stable. Our bodies use a gyro-like mechanism in our ears which has 3 mutually orthogonal inertial measurement devices. Modern motion processors use something called an Inertial Measurment Unit (IMU). These devices provide movement data which can be used to compensate for the movement. Chickens apparently have the same type mechanism only with a higher update rate.
In early 1958 sightings of a “little blue man” running along the side of Michigan highways began appearing in the news. It turned out that what motorists were seeing was actually a young man named Jerry Sprague, dressed in a costume that included: long underwear, a football helmet, gloves, combat boots, a bedsheet with two holes cut out for the eyes and a button sewed on for the mouth and blinking lights on the helmet — all of which had been spray painted a shade of blue that glowed faintly in the dark. He would jump out of the trunk of his friend’s car, run along the highway a bit, and then jump back in the trunk.
The mysterious little blue man soon became national news. The pranksters eventually turned themselves in to the police and were let off with a warning.

This story is straight out of Taiwan, this child’s body is actually magnetic and so is his fathers. Watch as they hang silverware and an iron off of their bodies… just plain nuts! Right at the end of the video he says it all started after he was in the army. You gotta wonder what kind of experiments they were running in that country!
One of the photographs that changed medical history is that of Lina Medina, the youngest mother who gave birth at the age of five. Born in Peru in 1933, Lina was brought to the local hospital by her parents because of an increasingly enlarged belly, which they first thought of a tumor. After a series of tests however, the doctors confirmed that she was seven months pregnant. A month later Lina gave birth to a baby boy whom she named Gerardo, after her doctor.
Lina Medina is the first known case of precocious pregnancy, and based on studies it was shown that she had an advanced menarche development resulting to menstruation at the age of 8 months, prominent breasts upon turning four, and bone maturation at age 5.
Her son Gerardo was first raised knowing that Lina was his sister, but eventually he found out that she was his mother at the age of 10. In 1972, Lina married and gave birth to her second son, 33 years after Gerardo was born. Gerardo soon died seven years later at the age of 40, due to a bone marrow disease. Lina, who is now aged 74, continues to live with her husband in Chicago, Chico, in Lima, Peru.
Hospitalis is another one of those theme restaurants with great original idea, usually they try to get the lights of interest. Waitresses - nurses, forks and spoons syringes, chairs and carts make the rather paranoid image to be seen if someone visited the restaurant in Riga, Latvia.
What I can not understand is whether such restaurants have regular clients. You will visit them once or twice. Then what?
