WTF?!? : Effigy of Michael Jackson?
Michael Jackson appears in Ultrasound for one woman - Telegraph UK
The UK’s Telegraph reports that Abbie Drinkwater is convinced that her ultrasound contains an ‘effigy’ or a representation of Michael Jackson.
This is Abbies first child and incredibly, Abbie claims she learned that she was pregnant on June 25th, the day that Michael Jackson died.
Careful examination of the ultrasound does suggest a likeness of Michael Jackson in her womb, as part of her 17-week-old fetus.
Abbie told the Telegraph; “At first I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. It was quite a shock. I didn’t notice it at first as I was so excited about seeing my baby. It wasn’t until later when I was at home and just gazing at the scan picture that I saw Michael Jackson. I thought ‘wow!’ this is unbelievable”
“The likeness is amazing” she said.
Abbie, a lifelong Michael Jackson fan, says she will name the child Michael if it is a boy and presumably Michaela if it’s a girl?

WTF?!? : Fish found in boy's penis
A 2cm long fish apparently found it's way into the penis of a 14-year-old boy from India in a bizarre medical case.
The patient was admitted to hospital with complaints of pain, dribbling urine and acute urinary retention spanning a 24-hour period. According to the boy, the fish slipped into his penis while he was cleaning his aquarium at home.
Professor Vezhaventhan and Professor Jeyaraman, who treated the boy and later wrote a paper on the case, explained: "While he was cleaning the fish tank in his house, he was holding a fish in his hand and went to the toilet for passing urine. When he was passing urine, the fish slipped from his hand and entered his urethra and then he developed all these symptoms."
After detecting the fish in the boy's bladder, Vezhaventhan and Jeyaraman used a technique known as cystourethroscopy to insert a special set of forceps down the patient's penis. Unfortunately, the fish was just too slippery to grip, so they resorted to using a rigid ureteroscope with a tool attached that is normally used for removing bladder stones.
The fish the urologists removed, which Practical Fishkeeping believes to be a small member of the Betta genus, measured 2cm long and 1.5cm wide.
He was later admitted into counseling to help him overcome any trauma.

Fred reaches one million subscibers!
Make that one million and one Fred! Darkerstarz has signed on!
Congratulations to YouTube's most hyperactive star, the helium-voiced Fred Figglehorn, on the occasion of his Fred channel recording its millionth subscriber, the first YouTube channel to do so. What's even more amazing is that all this was accomplished in under one year.
A few Fred facts for the uninitiated (if there is such a thing): Fred is the creation of Lucas Cruikshank, a 15-year-old Nebraskan who was first spotted making videos with his cousins on the JKLproduction channel. His Fred channel is the fastest growing in YouTube history, featuring such smash-hit episodes as Fred Goes Swimming (23m+ views), Fred Loses His Meds (17m+ views), and Fred Goes to the Dentist (13m+ views).
Fred's high-pitched episodes chronicle the misadventures of a pseudo six-year-old, as he over-reacts to friends, family and schoolmates, events in his life, and the object of his non-reciprocated affection, Judy. Cruikshank releases his videos in traditional TV style, in 10-episode seasons that have become the schoolyard equivalent of must-see TV. His millionth subscriber joined the cult of Fred early in season three.
So congratulations Lucas/Fred on achieving this notable milestone in the history of online video. We're very impressed. Sadly, we can't promise that Judy will ever share our enthusiasm.
Best,
Mark Day

Researchers create Amazing X-Ray Wireless Network!
Check this out here.
Don't freak out or anything, but those wireless signals you bask in everyday could be watching you. Or at least they might, someday, if the work from a group of researchers at the University of Utah makes it beyond the lab. As Technology Review's Physics arXiv blog reports, they've devised a means to modify a standard 802.15.4 wireless network (commonly used by home automation services like ZigBee) to actually "see" movement through walls, and with some degree of accuracy, no less. As you might expect, however, that's not quite as simple as a firmware upgrade, and currently requires a 34-node network to keep watch on a standard living room, which is apparently enough to pin down moving objects within a meter or so. To do that, the system essentially bombards the space with an array of wireless signals and keeps watch on any changes in signal strength, building up a "picture" of the room in the process. No promises on a commercial version just yet, but the researchers see plenty of potential for it, and are even talking about a portable, GPS-equipped version that police or emergency responders could use before entering a dangerous area.
Why Did They Do That? : Krispy Creme Bacon Cheeseburger
This was a bright idea by Google in NYC to celebrate the head of the Google cafe staff’s birthday.
I can’t believe that anyone actually ate these!
WTF?!?/LOL :The Weird Faces of Penis Enlargement Ads
BY DREW WATERS
Every web site that I visit seems to be blitzed by Vimax Penis Enlargement ads. Women’s faces looking with shock, surprise and horror in the direction of my crotch. Facial expressions designed to make me feel insecure about the size of my penis. LOL … The ads promise me, at least, an additional 4 inches.
One assumes that Vimax, the company behind the penis pills, must be throwing bags of money at a huge advertising campaigns with Google and Yahoo, but it turns out that most of these ads are malware that have taken over your browser and are displaying their wares. (If you have the Firefox browser you can go to the Mozilla web site and download the NoScript add-on to kill these ads.)
Dr. Michael Donnenberg of the University of Maryland describes the effect of penis enlargement pills and creams as providing zero results. “There may however be a placebo effect i.e. a psychological effect making the user think he has a larger penis, and increasing his confidence, when in fact there is no actual change to his penis size.”
A review, conducted by Drs. Kevan Wylie and Ian Eardley of the Porterback Clinic and Royal Hallamshire Hospital in Sheffield and St. James’ Hospital in Leeds, United Kingdom, respectively, combines results from more than 50 international research projects into penis size and small penis syndrome (SPS) conducted since 1942. It shows similar poor results.
“The issue of attractiveness to women is complex, but most data suggest that penile size is much lower down the list of priorities for women than such issues as a man’s personality and external grooming,” the researchers write.
So the Vimax ads in the end may just provide cultural entertainment. Another company trying to profit from a widely held male cultural myth that size matters most.
Here’s a collection of some of the ads appearing in my browser window in the past few months:
