Proteus Syndrome, The Elephant Man, The boy with frozen bones

joseph merrick Proteus Syndrome
I know this is an illness and yes I have put it under the weird category, the reason for this is because the human body takes so much shit when you think about it, so many illnesses, so many diseases, I mean come on where do these weird illnesses come from. Proteus syndrome is a congenital disorder that causes skin overgrowth and atypical bone development, often accompanied by tumours over half the body. Since Dr. Michael Cohen identified it in 1979, [1] only a few more than 200 cases have been confirmed worldwide, with estimates that about 120 people are currently alive with the condition.[2] There may be many more than this, but those individuals correctly diagnosed usually have the most obvious manifestations of Proteus syndrome, leaving them severely disfigured. Proteus syndrome is named after the Greek sea-god Proteus, who could change his shape.

There was a program about the boy with frozen bones which shows nine year-old Jordan who is full of hope and vitality. But Jordan’s body is not ordinary. He was born with a rare genetic condition called Proteus Syndrome, the same condition that afflicted John Merrick, The Elephant Man.

Please do read about Jordan here

Gus you are ugly got three legs but the hairless pedigree dog is cute. Help Cancer

gus the ugly 3 legged dog
Gus the dog will change the whole world because he has won the canine victory at an annual contest in Northern California. Owner Jeanenne Teed travelled across the country from Florida to compete in the competition to show off her world’s ugliest dog called Gus.

Gus is a hairless pedigree Chinese crested dog who only has three legs, so with only 3 legs, no hair and ugly looks the poor little dog should be in hiding. But Gus deserves such victories because Ms Teed entered her pet into this competition to raise awareness and hope for people who have pets with cancer. Ms Teed said that she will give the £500 ($1,000) prize on treatment for Gus’ skin cancer. The Chinese crested breed is often the standout in the competition, we have a whole lot of love going on for Gus, and we hope he does well. Please send in your thoughts to Gus in the comments area below.

Was Paula Abdul drunk on American Idol?

paula abdul drunk
Many people are asking if Paula Abdul as drunk on the reality TV show America Idol, call this weird or not but the celebrity could have been at the bottle (supposedly). TMZ have reported that Abdul did indeed have a martini before going onto American Idol and that her publicist sent an email to set the record straight.

This is what her publicist said -
WRONG WRONG WRONG you idiots!!! She was not drunk. She never had a martini. TMZ had the smarts to take the false info down. You should as well. You don’t have a single fact to support your BS item. Take the high road for once and do the right thing. Lawsuits are costly.
JEFF BALLARD
Publicist for Paula Abdul

Apparently there will be a statement regarding Paula Abdul tomorrow. Personally mix celebrities, cool songs, cool contestants and cool music and you are up for weird celebrity antics.

Redback spiders invest a hospital in Queensland
A hospital in Queensland Australia had to be shut down temporarily as an infestation of poisonous redback spiders broke out. The worry was that they could fall from the ceiling and land on patients beds.

Pest controller had to be called in to eradicate the problem, fumigator Bruce Dekker had this to say “What we’re concerned about is that we may get redbacks dropping through some of the air-conditioning ducting or through . . . exhaust fans,” he said. “We’re concerned that some of these openings are above the patients’ beds.”

Oprah Cult Video: does the chat show host want to start her own Scientology

A video made by Oprah really looks to many people that she could actually want to start her own cult. The thing is the chat show host has a huge following which means she has a big reach, and if Oprah was to get a message across that she would in fact want to start a new cult just like Scientology, then she has the power to do so.

Check out the Oprah Cult below

The Phoenix lights are back: could they be a UFO?

It seems that those lights are back in North Phoenix again and has got a lot of people talking. The four lights appeared in the night sky in a number of formations, first they formed a vertical line then the formation changed into a diamond shape then again in to a u-shape.

So what do you think it is, I would love to think that they are UFO’s?

Father Gareth Corkhill’s wheelie bin overfilled by four inches is taken to court then fined

wheelie-bin crisis
Let’s start a petition to get the criminal record lifted!!! You have got to be bloody serious on this latest news, a poor father of four has been taken to court and fined all because his rubbish wheelie bin was overfilled by a mere four inches. The father’s rubbish is only collected once every two weeks and yes Gareth Corkhill’s bin by this time was overfilled in where the lid would not shut properly and because the lid did not shut he ended up with a criminal record.

The 26 year old bus driver was convicted by Magistrates after evidence was heard that the lid on the wheelie bin did not shut and was four inches ajar, which apparently is against the rules. The poor father was ordered to pay £210 which is a weeks wages to him after he said no to paying an on the spot fine which was imposed by the local council’s bin police, they visited him wear stab proof vests whilst carrying photographic evidence of his crime.

To piss him off a little more Gareth Corkhill was told to pay a £15 victim surcharge to help victims of violence - despite there being no victim - and threatened with prison if he failed to pay.

wheelie-bin crisis 1

Weird Things Say – This is bloody pathetic and the world is becoming a pathetic place to live, the UK is not worth living in anymore and can see why most of the British move out of the country, the poor man has been treated like a criminal just because the lid was not shut, he would have been better off throwing the rubbish on the streets and receiving a £80 fine. When I put my bin out nice and neatly at the front of my house 10 times out of ten I find my bin 2 houses up the road, surely these dick head refuse collectors should be fined for not putting our bins back where they found them.

Answer these questions –

1. Should refuse collectors be fined for not putting our bins back outside our house neatly how they found them?
2. Do you think Father of four Gareth Corkhill has been treated unfairly?

Let us start a petition to get the criminal record lifted on this poor man, his future of new jobs are on the line as no one will employ a criminal. In the comment area please start the comment with “Lift the Criminal Record on Gareth Corkhill” then say your piece of how you feel.
