Michel Lotito - The man who ate an airplane

From the Telegraph : His diet since 1966 included 18 bicycles, 15 supermarket trolleys, seven TV sets, six chandeliers, two beds, a pair of skis, a low-calorie Cessna light aircraft and a computer. He is said to have provided the only example in history of a coffin (handles and all) ending up inside a man. By October 1997, he had eaten nearly nine tons of metal.

Apparently though, bananas and hard-boiled eggs made him sick to his stomach.

Until he died in 2007, France’s Michel Lotito had eaten two pounds of metal every day for more than 40 years, and he still holds the Guinness record for the world’s “strangest diet.” To cement his title, he dismantled a 1,111-pound Cessna 150 airplane and ate it — piece by piece — over two years.

Mosquitoes will not only bite you. After sucking your blood, they will pee on you.

In a new paper published by Cornell University, keeping that "gotta go" feeling from being relieved may actually be one way to keep mosquitoes in check. Researchers identified a protein from the renal tubules of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes that's involved in promoting urination as they feed on blood. When mosquitoes consume and process blood meals, they must urinate to prevent fluid and salt overloads that can kill them.

Claudia Mitchell - first woman to have a bionic arm.

 

 

The robotic arm comes from the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, and was developed for $3 million. Mitchell, who used to peel bananas using both feet and one hand, can now carry items, lift cups, and move her prosthetic arm almost as naturally as her real one.
