Werewolf boy appeals to doctors to find a cure

An 11-year-old "werewolf" boy who desperately seeks a cure for his condition is baffling medical experts.Pruthviraj Patil is one of 50 in the world who suffers from hypertrichosis, a rare genetic condition known as Werewolf Syndrome.As a result his face and body is covered in thick, matted hair.But he is hoping doctors will one day find a cure for his ailment.Born in the Indian district of Sangli, near Bombey, he hardly ever leaves his village because of his fear of being traunted by strangers.The only parts of his body that are not covered with hair are the palms of his hands and soles of his feet.The son of a well off farmer, his parents have tried homeopathy, traditional Ayurvedic remedies and laser surgery. But none of them have worked.It is believe his genetic condition was caused by a flaw during pregnancy."Why did God do this to us," his 32-year-old mother Anita pleads. "He looks so odd and whever we go people throng to see him."Plastic surgeon Vinay6 Saoji has examined the boy and confirms that the condition is very rare."Hairy nevus, where a person has patches of excess growth, or hirsurism, is not uncommon, but hair persisting all over the body is very rare," he added.Pruthviraj says he is anxious to get the hair removed but even after laser treatment it simply grows back.The doctors don't have any answers to his predicament.When he first went to school he said he got bullied and the other children laughed at him. But now they have got used to him and they treat him like normal.He appealed to the doctors to help find him a permanent cure.- June 30, 2008

Cat with hypnotic eyes

"Look into my eyes, look into my eyes, the eyes, the eyes, not around the eyes, don't look around the eyes, look into my eyes. [click] You're under!"

That was a line from amazing hypnotist character Kenny Craig from the 'Little Britain' award-winning British TV series.

We don't know about you, but we think our two-year-old Saudi kitty above has very hypnotic eyes. Just keep looking into them, and you will soon be under their spell.

Kitty has one brown eye and one blue eye and is a mixture of Persian and Siamese. And Kitty comes from Riyadh.

Amazing Trees 2

It was Buddha who said:"A tree is a wonderful living organism which gives shelter, food, warmth and protection to all living things. It even gives shade to those who wield an axe to cut it down."And Joyce Kilmer immortalised the grace and beauty of trees in poetry:"I think that I shall never seeA poem lovely as a tree.A tree whose hungry mouth is prestAgainst the earth's sweet flowing breast;A tree that looks at God all day,And lifts her leafy arms to pray;A tree that may in Summer wearA nest of robins in her hair;Upon whose bosom snow has lain;Who intimately lives with rain.Poems are made by fools like me,But only God can make a tree."Here we present some of the most amazing and unusual trees from around the world. They include the Basket Tree, Giant Sequoias of California, Circus Tree, Chapel-Oak. Tule Tree. Banyan Tree, and Baobab Trees - including one with a toilet built inside it.

I found this amazing photo on www.thatsweird.net and immediately wanted to write something inspired by it. What eventually came out rather surprised me, as it’s not the sort of thing I normally write at all - much more mythical and mystical in tone. And I don’t normally talk to myself, but I feel in this poem I gave myself some good, or at least encouraging, advice.
