The Odd Files

Doctors were desperate to diagnose a teenager who couldn’t even drink water without being violently sick, but what they discovered left them stunned. Medics treating Ayperi Alekseeva found a massive hairball blocking her digestive system. The 18-year-old needed emergency surgery, or she would have died from extreme dehydration and malnourishment. The hairball, which weighed 9lbs, was formed because the girl chewed the tips of her hair, and even ate hair and bits of wool she found on the carpet at home. Ayperi, from Batken Province in Kyrgyzstan, had to be transported to a hospital in the capital city of Bishkek for treatment. Doctors said that despite looking through 50 years of medical records, they have never been able to find a case involving a hairball this large. Prof Bahadir Bebezov, who performed the life-saving surgery, added: ‘The parents brought her in after she started losing weight, and she couldn’t eat anything. By the time we got her, should could not eve...

Meet the man who suffers from 100 orgasms every day. We say ‘suffers’, because Dale Decker doesn’t enjoy a single one. His rare case of Persistent Genital Arousal Syndrome developed in September 2012 when he slipped a disk in his back while getting out of a chair. The 37-year-old said: ‘Imagine being on your knees at your father’s funeral beside his casket – saying goodbye to him and then you have nine orgasms right there. ‘While your whole family is standing behind you. It makes you never want to have another orgasm for as long as you live. ‘There’s nothing pleasurable about it because even though it might feel physically good – you’re completely disgusted by what’s going on.’ The painful pelvic episodes have made Dale housebound through fear of cumming in public – just like the time he had an orgasm in the local supermarket and saw ‘around 150 people looking straight at me’. Dale lives in Two Rivers, Wisconsin with his wife April and two sons Christian, 12, and Tayten,...

This one appears to have an eye (Picture: Gay Men Draw Vaginas) If the Kickstarter to sponsor a man’s potato salad didn’t impress you, this $37,000 attempt to publish a  book of vaginas  will. Based on the Instagram account  @gay_men_draw_vaginas , which is quite literally exactly as the name suggests, the new project hopes to pull together all the wonderful illustrations of the female anatomy as detailed by homosexual men. The social media account was launched in June this year by Shannon O’Malley after a gay friend drew a  very  impressive and detailed vagina for her. As you do. All women DO have unicorns coming out of their private parts (Picture: Gay Men Draw Vaginas) She’s since collected over 300 drawings, and the account now boasts everything from hand-drawn works of art that’ll teach us all a thing or two about what really is down  there , to designs so silly they’ll make you snort out loud and embarrass yourself. The campaign  has al...

The American news giant dropped the clanger while using a background graphic to illustrate China's deadly hornet outbreak Hong Kong at South America? Watch the video here American news network CNN made the embarrassing mistake of relocating Hong Kong - to South America. The geographical error was made on a picture used to illustrate a news story on China's outbreak of deadly hornets. And the presenter is none the wiser as she completes her piece to camera. This isn't the first time that CNN have blundered in this way. Back in January 2012 a geographically challenged employee put London in Norfolk on a map used for a story about the phone hacking scandal. For those who weren't paying attention in GCSE Geography, Hong Kong is actually situated in Asia, thousands of miles away from the point CNN would have you believe. So either these giant hornets have moved an entire land mass across the globe or someone at CNN isn't too hot on their map reading. ...

Raju the elephant was beaten, abused and forced to go hungry until animal charity workers rescued him last week For 50 years Raju the elephant was held in chains, beaten and abused – a pitiful site with his legs bleeding from spiked shackles and living on ­handouts from passing tourists, writes Sarah Arnold in the Sunday People. He was so hungry he would eat plastic and paper to fill his empty stomach. But last week animal charity workers swooped to save him in a daring midnight rescue ­operation on the streets of India. Some experts believe elephants cry when overcome with emotion, just like humans. And Raju’s rescuers insist the giant animal wept as he realised his ordeal was coming to an end. Pooja Binepal, of Wildlife SOS-UK, said: “Raju was in chains 24 hours a day, an act of ­intolerable cruelty. The team were astounded to see tears roll down his face during the rescue. “It was incredibly emotional. We knew in our hearts he realised he was being freed. “...

We doubt there’s a place in the world that could break a ‘trillion dollar bill’ but that didn’t stop this man from reportedly trying to pay with one. Michael Williams Michael Williams, from Sumter, South Carolina, offered to pay his restaurant bill with the high value currency after his debit card was rejected on February 14, according to The State.

The authorities decided to ignore his alleged claims of being a trillionaire and instead picked him up for a pending contempt of a magistrate’s court charge. Source: Metro UK
