Your Dirty Mind

26 Year Old Baby is World's Smallest Man (3 pics)

26 Year Old Man Trapped In Two-Year-Old Body
Reminicient of an old Twilight Zone episode, Jerly Lyngdoh is a 26-year-old man trapped in the body of a two-year-old toddler.

Lyngdoh, who lives with his farmer parents in Meghalaya, northern India, looks like any other tot with his small head and 2ft 9ins frame. But It’s only when he opens his mouth to reveal a full set of adult teeth that the truth about the world’s oldest baby is revealed. Experts believe glands which secrete growth hormones may be damaged. Dr J. Ryndong thinks "this is a case of pan-hypo pituitarism leading to poor secretion of growth hormones from the pituitary gland. He is a genuine rarity". The downside: you are an fu*king 26 year old trapped in a 2 year olds body. The upside: you can still breastfeed.

The Mysterious Sailing Stones of Death Valley

It is one big mystery that a stone that weighs more or less like a man can move on its own. This has become quite a puzzle for the past decade. The mysterious sailing stones of Death Valley have been discovered to slide over valleys that people do not live in. These valleys are filled with dry cracking muddy ground during summer and ice during winter. Many geologists have gone to all the places in Racetrack Playa and its surrounding.

Japanese Neon Lamp Fights




You have to hand it to the Japanese, they know violence sells and they market it like no other country can.
But this has to be the dumbest sport in history, two fat guys pounding each other with neon-rods until they’re both soaked in blood? I have no idea what this sport is called or who came up with the idea, but apparently it’s very popular in the Land of the Rising Sun, despite it’s obvious stupidity. I’d rather watch some K1 or UFC any day, this is just like wrestling only with real blood.
I wonder if those lamps are mercury free…if they’re not, do the fat guys know they could die from mercury poisoning?
