and that's all you can do about some things

This bizarre-looking baby was born in Charikot, the headquarters of Dolakha district, attracting a huge number of onlookers to witness the astonishing sight.

The neck-less baby with its head almost totally sunk into the upper part of the body and with extraordinarily large eyeballs literally popping out of the eye-sockets, was born to Nir Bahadur Karki and Suntali Karki at the Gaurishnkar Hospital in Charikot. The Karki couple is a permanent resident of Dolakha's Bhirkot VDC.

The bizarre baby, however, died after half an hour of its birth, Suntali, the mother, informed. It was taken to the hospital after its death. The news about such a baby being brought to the hospital spread like wildfire and there were hundreds gathered at the hospital to have a look. The police had to be deployed to control the crowd.

The baby weighed 2kg at birth and was born after the normal nine-month gestation period. Suntali, already a mother of two normal daughters, was not suffering from any illness during the pregnancy. Nir Bahadur, the father, says he does not feel any remorse for the newly-born baby's death. "I am happy that nothing happened to my wife," he said.

Note : The baby has a condition called anencephaly, a neural tube defect (like the cyclops baby), with no proper brain formation. The baby would have died a few days later. That's why women are advised to take folate in early pregnancy.

sometimes you climb out of bed in the morning and you think,
I'm not going to make it, but you laugh inside
remembering all the times you've felt that way, and
you walk to the bathroom, do your toilet, see that face
in the mirror, oh my oh my oh my, but you comb your hair anyway

go after her, fuck, don't sit there and wait for her to call, go after her because that's what you should do if you love someone, don't wait for them to give you a sign 'cause it might never come, don't let people happen to you, don't let me happen to you, or her, she's not a fucking television show or tornado.

A kitty in Chongqing, China, is getting some extra-special attention these days: The furry feline has developed wings! Though born looking completely normal, once the cat hit the age of 1, he began growing wing-shaped appendages on either side of his spine, the U.K.'s Daily Mail reports.

While some think the bony limbs may be a mutation of some kind — or even a Siamese twin growing inside the cat — others speculate it's a genetic change perhaps caused by chemicals ingested by the kitty's mother while she was pregnant.

Controversy over pet cat being tattooed in Moscow

Alfie, a 10-year-old Shire-cross, is said to flee if he thinks he is in danger of getting even a trim.

The horse also refuses to let staff at the stables in Bitton, Gloucestershire, into his stall there for fear that they will remove his whiskers.

"He's obviously rather proud of his facial hair," she said.
"He runs a mile if he thinks we're going to trim it."

STRAY CAT TAKES AFTER 'THE DONALD'
Kara Kuh of the Willamette Humane Society in Salem, Ore., shows off a cat recently brought in as a stray. The cat, dubbed "The Donald" by WHS staff in honor of the hairstyle worn by billionaire Donald Trump, has an approximately 1-inch-wide by 3-inch-long pouch of fatty tissue growing out of his head. The pouch droops down and completely covers the cat's face. It is possibly an old abscess and WHS staff say they have never seen anything like it.

 i've been a downloadin' fool lately! recommend something to me!


* i like films that're: old, black and white, bizarre, fantastical, involve a lot of killing, have badass mustachio'd men, involve homosexuality (blatant or subtle), are foreign, have chicks with awesome hair, gratuitous sex scenes, period pieces, unforgiving view of humans, have ghosts, aliens, or monsters, cult classics, zombies, comedies that are so dumb that most people don't realize how clever they are (read: airplane!, the three amigos, walk hard), animals that talk, have a fascinatingly ugly main character, where everyone dies, dystopian futures, long and ridiculously elaborate dance scenes, superheroes, gruff lone wolf main characters

** i DON'T like/don't need to see: 85% of disney films, ANY movie that ends with marriage/engagement, teen sex comedies, most musicals, any movie that involves a lot of fast shiny cars zipping around, slasher films, anything with nicholas cage.

'well, now we have seen each other,' said the unicorn, 'if you'll
believe in me, i'll believe in you. is that a bargain?'
