Woman Allergic To Her Own Tears:
This Woman Can’t Cry Cause Her Own Tears Cause Her Pain
Have you ever wished that you couldn’t cry, so that you can be immune to most of the things that cause us tears? Well, you better be careful what you wish for cause sometimes, our wishes aren’t what we really need. Katie Dell a 26 year old woman is one of the 35 people on the planet to be diagnosed with a rare disease that causes her skin to have painful rashes when it comes in to contact with water. The condition is called aquagenic urticaria, and i basically implies that she can’t have baths, or swim, or even cry without triggering a burning rash on her skin.
This rare allergy determined Katie to quit her job as a dance teacher because sweat also triggers the rash. She is even too scared to leave her home, in case it starts raining. Just imagine, not being able to get upset, or happy and cry… she has to be somewhat emotionless, so that she doesn’t have to go through the pains induced by the burns. Katie said: “I can’t even watch a weepy rom-com film like most girls and I’ve missed out on a lot of the classics like E.T and The Notebook. If I feel I’m going to cry, I turn it off and I’ve missed the end to so many films. Symptoms began after I had my tonsils out when I was about 16. After the operation I had penicillin that I later discovered I was allergic to.
Doctors think this may have altered the histamine levels in my body.” Katie said she soon noticed that she developed a rash every time she came into contact with water. The condition is so rare that doctors thought at first that Katie was making it up, but b the time she was 20, it began being obvious for everyone else that she was suffering from water contacts.
She can’t spend more than two minutes in the shower without getting a rash, but with the help of her husband, Andy, she manages to clean up. So far, the doctors haven’t been able to find a cure for water allergies, so, until they do, Katie has to keep missing out on all of the fun parts of life. Next time you cry, or go out in the rain or have fun in the pool, you should be thankful you don’t have a condition such as this one..

Cape Town Ocean Foam – An Extremely Rare Phenomenon:
Cape Town Ocean Foam – An Extremely Rare Phenomenon
If you take a look at this picture, you’ll probably think it’s an amazing picture of a frozen seashore, but have a closer look… you’ll notice that what appears to be ice, is actually foam.
The inhabitants of Cape Town, South Africa were given a chance to witness an extremely rare phenomenon that turns the ocean into one big cup of cappuccino.
This odd occurrence is also known as “sea foam” or even “beach foam” and it happens due to the crunching of the water with organic matter impurities, such as plankton, dead fish, dead plants and other such elements floating at the surface of the water.
The powerful currents cause the water to form tiny bubbles which have the tendency to “join forces” and cause this rare event.

Scientist have declared that if the speed of the wind is more than six meters per second, then the energy transferred from the wind to the water is proportionally higher, and a force known as the supperficial tension of the water is not enough to hold the molecules on the surface together.
The water breaks up into small drops which adhere together due to surface tension which causes them to appear as white foam.

Cat-eyed Chinese Boy With Night Vision Superpower:
Cat-eyed Chinese Boy With Night Vision Superpower
Night vision! What an awesome superpower. Almost all of us must have wished for such an amazing power when we were kids, but we eventually grew out of it and realized that only superheroes have nigh vision… and of course cats. Well, cats are no longer the only beings in “town” who can see in the dark.
A young Chinese boy named Nong Youhui was born with blue eyes (a rare color for the Chinese people), but that’s not the strangest thing about him. Nong is able to see in the dark, just like cats do. Also, just like a Siamese cat, his eyes flash neon green when they’re illuminated in the dark.

Rumors and speculations have it that the child is either The Starchild, or a human with hybrid alien DNA…pretty spooky, wouldn’t you agree?
His weird eyes enable the boy to be able to read and write down the answers to some questions, in a pitch black room. The scientists are now interested to find out if his DNA is has indeed mutated genes, and if not, how is it possible for him to have a special layer of cells in his eyes, called the tapetum lucidum, which exists only at cats and other nocturnal animals.
Below you can view some more pictures of the strange boy, and also a video of him and his mysterious super power.

Well the answer to your prayers has now arrived in the form of a special, amazing self-healing paint.
Nissan, in collaboration with the University of Tokyo, have managed to develop a type of paint that expands when scratched, and in just 30 minutes after the scratch was made, it will be completely gone, due to the fact that the paint filled it in. For more severe “injuries”, the process may take longer, but eventually, the results are amazing!

For more severe “injuries”, the process may take longer, but eventually, the results are amazing!
The revolutionary paint was invented in 2005, and it has been forgotten by the general masses immediately after it was announced, despite the fact that it’s used for the Nissan Murano, 370Z and X-Trail models.
Luckily for us, Nissan has decided to create a new case for smartphones, using the amazing paint, which will allow your phone to self heal in just under an hour from the drop. Pretty awesome, wouldn’t you agree?

So far, Nissan is keeping its magic paint on in testing for the time being, licensing the material to Japanese carrier NTT DoCoMo. Luckily, the Leaf-maker is also said to be considering a commercial launch scheduled for later this year, so until the new wondrous casing is out, make sure you get a better grasp of your phone.
Have a look below at a crash test comparing the results of different smartphones. I don’t know if the magic paint will be able to heal the broken screen on the iphone, but hey… if you bought it, try to take better care of it…

Weight Record In China: Heaviest Baby Ever Born
Heaviest Newborn In China Sets Weight Record: 15-Pounds At Birth
Chun Chun is a real bundle of joy, a 15.5-pound bundle mind you! Not only did this newborn baby boy make his parents very proud, but he also made an entire nation proud, and not just any country, but China, the country with the most inhabitants.
This gigantic baby was born in the Province of Henan, more exactly, in city of Xinxiang. Despite the baby’s immensity, the caesarean section which was performed to deliver him took a mere 20 minutes, and both the mom and the huge newborn are healthy and well. Chun Chun is not the only extremely big baby born in China. Between 2008 and 2010 another three babies were born weighting 15 pounds exactly, but Chun is now the heaviest baby ever born there due to the fact that he had 15.5 pounds.
The baby’s mom is 29 year-old Wang Yujuan and she’s not at her first pregnancy, she also gave birth to a perfectly normal baby girl who is now six years old. The proud mother declared that: “I clearly felt that my body was more clumsy than when I had been pregnant with my daughter. My belly was bigger than it was then. I guessed the baby would be between ten and 11 pounds. I never expected to hear that he weighs 15.5 pounds.”
The head of the Obsetries department declared that “little” Chun Chun is twice as big as any other newborn, and that they’re very happy they were honored to bring the baby boy in to the world.
The parents are also happy, not just because they now have the heaviest baby in all of China, but also because he’s a Dragon Baby, born after the lunar new year, in the Year Of The Dragon.
Have a look at the huge baby below, and then see him in action, in the first video of Chun Chun.
Indian Woman Gave Birth To 11 Kids At Once: True Or False?
Indian Woman Gave Birth To 11 Kids At Once: True Or False?
Rumor has it that somewhere inIndia, inSuratto be more specific, a supermom gave birth to eleven babies all at once! Yes, you read that right, eleven babies! Could that be true or is it just an urban myth sustained by some really good photoshop work? Well, while the picture shown speaks for itself, ( and we ALL know how pictures can be misleading) anonymous sources indicate that the 11 sweet little bundles of joy photographed above are actually the 11 babies which were born on the unique day of November 11th, 2011 (11/11/11).
Now, there is a little bit of truth in the picture of the eleven kids. Six of them were indeed twins born to the same mother. But the remaining five are just lucky babies who came to this world on a unique day. But wait just a minute! It appears that calls were indeed made to the Guiness Book of World Records to acknowledge the amazing record and they declared that “unofficial sources” are willing to produce even more evidence of the amazing birth of 11 babies to the same mom.
Just so you know, at this point no official news agency has been able to confirm nor deny the information that a woman gave birth to 11 kids in just one pregnancy. So let’s take a step back and analyze the situation medically and logically. Is it possible or not for a woman to carry 11 fetuses in her womb, and to actually deliver them all alive.
Is it medically possible?
According to medical journals, multiple births can occur either by natural causes, such as the woman who ovulates more than one egg per month, in which case they can all be fertilized, or she produces just one egg, but it divides shortly after fecundation, hence resulting in multiple embryos. Multiple births are nowadays more and more often as a result of infertility treatments such as In Vitro Fertilization. This is the procedure which “implants” more than one fertile egg in a womans womb, in hopes that at least one will be accepted by the body. Also, the use of fertility drugs can lead to multiple egg ovulation, hence multiple babies.
But how many babies can a womb carry?
As many of you are well aware, sextuplets (six babies at one shot) are no longer a rarity these days. In fact, more and more cases of women giving birth to 6 healthy babies are registered. But what would you say about 7 babies at once?
In 1997, the first medical case of surviving healthy septuplets was recorded in the United States. Three girls and four boys were born with sizes raging from 3 lbs and 4 ounces to just barely 15 ounces. Ironically, the smallest baby was the one who had no permanent health issues, but sadly, 2 of the babies have cerebral palsy.
You think 7 isn’t amazing enough? How about 8 babies at once?
In 1998 a set of octuplets was born inHouston,Texas. The first of the babies was delivered 15 weeks premature, while the remaining twins were kept inside the womb for two more weeks, and then delivered by a Caesarean section. Unfortunately, the tiniest of them died after just one week, but the remaining 7 are alive, well, and enjoying life.
Beyond 9 babies in the same womb…
So far, all of the reports of multiple babies beyond octuplets do not have happy endings. In 1999 a Malaysian woman gave birth to 9 babies, which were officially the most babies in one birth. Sadly all babies died within 6 hours of living.
The world record for a natural pregnancy is held by a woman in Argentina, who was pregnant with 12 embryos. Unfortunately, none of them were viable.
In 1971, a woman conceived no less than 15 babies, and delivered them all, not at once, with multiple Caesarean sections. Alas, all of the babies also died after birth.
The sad truth is that multiple babies usually involves complicated medical issues in the long run. And even though the babies survive birth, the facts prove that many end up suffering from different causes related to their crowded life in the womb.
Breathtaking Cloud Tsunami Covers Florida Skyscrapers:
Watch As The Amazing Cloud Tsunami Rolls Over Florida
Some might call this a once in a life-time experience, but others might disagree and argue that this rare “cloud tsunami” phenomenon is just a fabulous moment which happens in extraordinary weather conditions, and all yo have to do is keep an eye out for it, and your trusty camera on hand.
Luckily, we all can now rejoice with pictures of this amazing phenomenon, since helicopter pilot, Mike Schaeffer was able to take photos of a cloud which swept across the sandy beaches of Florida and stumbled upon the skyscrapers which were close to shore, creating an beautiful tsunami effect.
Luckily, we all can now rejoice with pictures of this amazing phenomenon, since helicopter pilot, Mike Schaeffer was able to take photos of a cloud which swept across the sandy beaches of Florida and stumbled upon the skyscrapers which were close to shore, creating an beautiful tsunami effect.
After finishing a tour of Panama City shore, Mike Schaeffer observed that the condos on the beach were being swallowed by a very intriguing cloud, and it almost looked like the buildings were being threatened by a fearsome tsunami. The pilot continued his flight to the designated landing point, and after the helicopter was safe on the ground, he reported the wavy cloud to the helicopter owner, JR Hott, and they both took off again in order to take this amazing pictures.
But what’s the scientific explanation for the amazing “Cloud Tsunami”?
The term cloud tsunami is very improper, due to the fact that a “normal” tsunami involves damage and disaster, where as the phenomenon showed in the picture is nothing like that. The scientific term for this interesting weather event is a Kelvin–Helmholtz instability.
When friction velocity is present inside a continuous fluid or when there is enough friction between two fluids within he same container, the so called Kelvin–Helmholtz instability may occur.
In order to understand the phenomenon more clearly, all you have to do is imagine wind blowing over the surface of water, that causes the layers of the water layers to become instable, and this instability takes the form of the common waves we all know and love, especially surfers.

So what’s so weird about the Cloud Tsunami In Florida?
Well, this amazing weather event usually occurs in areas with plains, where winds often change speed very fast, causing the cloud waves. And that’s why it was very interesting to see this on the shores of Panama City, Florida on February 5th, 2012.
The Cloud Appreciation Society declared that the cool offshore air had a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, and by adding to its humidity, the cloud was formed, by cooling down the air.
In the case of or tsunami, the air was cooled by climbing on top of the extremely tall skyscrapers (now this event totally adds a more interesting spin to the idea of skyscrapers, doesn’t it?).

On the back side of the buildings, the air began to warm up as it slowly sunk back down, causing it to carry even more water vapors, and slowly vanish from human sight. Even though it doesn’t happen very often, this cloud tsunami in Florida should remind us that sometimes, we have to slow down and look around us. You have no idea what you might be missing while you’re in a hurry.
