Make way for a new medical marvel - Tree Man!
This man, from a remote village in Indonesia, has an extraordinary skin condition: he has root like structures growing out of his body - branches that can grow up to 5cm a year and which protrude from his hands and feet, and welts covering his whole body.
He made a living being part of a freak circus, but with the help of an American dermatologist he attempts to regain his life back.
Click here for pictures of him after an operation.

Importance of ABCs of bike safety
So there I am - smiling as the hot sun beat on my back, feeling the wind roaring in my ears and cooling my face on a glorious sunny Bay Area day. I was happily pedaling along reaching mile 47 of my bike ride from San Francisco to Mountain View with some friends when the unexpected happened! I felt my left foot wobblying around for a minute, but dismissed it as just a need to tighten my cleats to my shoe. Well... I never got to check on it later because suddenly MY FOOT, PEDAL, AND CRANK ALL DETACHED FROM MY BIKE! Whaaaaat?!? Yeah! Uh huh! I know! After getting over the initial shock and horror of what just happened, I saw how comical the situation looked to my friends - me pedaling along with just one foot. I wasn't even sure how I was going to come to a stop since I couldn't land on my left foot with the crank still attached to it. Eventually (after trying not to fall off because I was laughing so hard) I gingerly come to a slow stop, unclipped my right foot and kind of slid off my seat and landed on my right side. We were able to reattach the crank after a bit of detective work.
The crank is supposed to be attached to the rest of the bike like this...
... instead, my shoe was attached to the crank, but the crank not attached to bike...
Lesson learned! For all you bikers out there here's a video clip on the ABC's of bicycle safety.

Steak and BJ day?
A friend asked if I had plans for Friday, March 14. If you're clueless to the significance of the date (as I was), March 14 is one month after Valentine's Day. Some guy is trying to start a new holiday for men since women have a strong hold on Valentine's Day.
Taken from http://www.steakandbjday.com/
----------------------------------------
You know the drill. Every 14th of February you get the chance to display your fondness for a significant other by showering her with gifts, flowers, dinner, shows and any other baubles that women find romantic. Every Valentines day you rack your brains for that one special, unique gift that will show your wife or girlfriend that you really do care for them more than any other. Now ladies, I'll let you in on a little secret; guys really don't enjoy this that much. Sure seeing that smile on your face when we get it right is priceless, but that smile is the result of weeks of blood, sweat and consideration. Another secret; guys feel left out. That's right, there's no special holiday for the ladies to show their appreciation for the men in their life. Men as a whole are either too proud or too embarrassed to admit it.
Which is why a new holiday has been created.
March 14th is now officially "Steak and Blowjob Day". Simple, effective and self explanatory, this holiday has been created so you ladies finally have a day to show your man how much you care for him.
No cards, no flowers, no special nights on the town; the name of the holiday explains it all, just a steak and a BJ. Thats it. Finally, this twin pair of Valentine's Day and Steak and Blowjob Day will usher in a new age of love as men everywhere try THAT much harder in February to ensure a memorable March 14th!
The word is already beginning to spread, but as with any new idea, it needs a little push to start the ball rolling. So spread the word, and help bring love and peace to this crazy world. And, of course, steak and BJ's.

Braggart or serious problem?
How many guys would actually "complain" of being in a situation like this guy?
Why would he not tell his girlfriend that her friends are coming on to him? That should put a stop to her girlfriends from dropping by his place.
