Look, over by the operating room. It's a bird, it's a plane ... it's that weird guy that keeps coming here! For more than a decade, Filipino designer Herbert Chavez has been transforming himself into his childhood icon, Superman. He has had surgery performed on his nose, thighs, cheeks, lips, chin, and has had his skin whitened. He is also considering a surgery in Japanthat would make him taller by inserting steel into his leg bones. Perhaps a Lex Luthor impersonator is sitting somewhere, considering his next move ...

     For the last 30 years, 44-year-old Englishman and bachelor Jonathan McGowan has lived on a diet of roadkill.  He has eaten mice, moles, hedgehogs, pigeons, crows, gulls, and badgers. He even provided readers with some of his personal recipes -- for "Roadkill Pigeon Au Vin" and 'Roadkill Badger Stew" -- and weighed in on the tastes of different animals. Moles, he said, "are horrible and have a rancid taste," but said that squirrels "are most delicious. They provide a good firm white meat which is quite similar to rabbit but not as overpowering." We wonder if his co-workers ever ask to try what he's having for lunch.   Source: Daily Mail (U.K)

     If you ever wanted to kick Saddam Hussein's butt, it's not too late to do it -- in the privacy of your own home!  A British soldier who was serving in Iraq when the dictator's regime fell got permission to take home a souvenir -- and chose to pry the buttocks off that statue of Saddam that was toppled in Baghdad. Nigel Ely was cheeky enough to smuggle the bronze butt-cheek home, even paying several hundred dollars in freight charges to guarantee delivery.  Now he's auctioning it off, and expects to get about $15,000 from a collector of military memorabilia .  Source: News.com (Australia)
