Double Header

This is a fascinating read about the Two-Headed Boy of Bengal.

Here are some interesting snippets:

This parasitic head was reasonably well developed and showed clear signs of independent life.

When the boy cried or smiled, the features of the upper head were not always affected, and their movements seem to have been purely reflex: a pinch in the cheek produced a grimace, and when it was given the breast, its lips attempted to suck.

When the child slept, the eyes of the parasitic head could be observed to be open and moving. When he was first awakened, all four eyes moved in the same direction, but normally, the two heads’ eye-movements were independent.

Check out this cool Japanaese fishing village made out of legos. I would never have the patience for this but I’m glad somebody did. The picture quality isn’t great but good enough, my favorite scene is the guy getting beheaded here.

How cool is this? That’s rhetorical if you didn’t know, I think it’s cool and if you don’t you’re not. ;)

A new pirate museum has opened in Key West called Pirate Soul. Some of the highlights include one of only two authenticated pirate flags in the world and the world’s only authenticated treasure chest. If I ever make it down to Key West this place is definitely on my list.

If you go, don’t forget to wear this shirt Arrrrrrrrgh…

Thanks Clark
