Japan's National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology has recently developed a beautiful girl robot that can learn and imitate the singing of the human. The robot, known as "HRP-4", has a body shape and size as a real person. She not only can sings beautifully like a human singer, but also can imitate the rich facial expressions of a human singer.

His parents are desperate. The child was expelled from several kindergartens, explaining that the boy is a serious health risk to other children.
Desperate mum Xiao Lin is now begging doctors to help shrink her super-size son.

Some medics believe he may have a growth hormone disorder while others say he is a victim of China's "Little Emperor" syndrome where families are allowed only one child, who is then spoiled rotten by doting relatives.

Lindsay Hayward - the 6ft 9in woman

Meet Lindsay, the 6ft 9in model from Miami, Florida who makes her living as an Amazonian wrestler.
The Amazonian 23-year-old - known to fans as Isis - has achieved minor celebrity status in the U.S. as a professional wrestler and model who can leg press an astonishing 50st.
Now Lindsay hopes to make an impact on Hollywood as only she can.
She said:
"I want to be that tough chick that strides in and beats the hell out of everyone."
"I can easily spin a grown man over my head and throw him across the room," said Lindsay.
"I've done it many times in the ring and a few times outside the ring. You don't want to see me angry."
Lindsay, who weighs a healthy 17st, said her passion for grappling came from an unhappy childhood.
Driving force: Lindsay shows her incredible strength
She said: "I decided I wanted to be a wrestler. To be the strongest and the best.
'I didn't want to take any grief from anyone ever again. Now if someone decides they want to fight me they really regret it."

The powerful blonde is one of the tallest women in America and she's getting stronger by the day.
"I'm building muscle," said Lindsay, who eats 5oz of chicken every two hours to keep her strength up to lift weights for up to three hours a day.
She said: "Normally I eat about 3lbs of rare steak a day. I'm always hungry. I need a lot of food."
However, Lindsay has so far been unlucky in love.
"I haven't had many serious relationships. I went out with one guy for a year but I mostly just date people. I'm always dating."
Her past boyfriends in the past have included basketball players and bodybuilders and she will not date anyone under 6ft 4in.
She said: "The taller the better really. I like basketball players because they're sometimes taller than me."

Mechanically separated chicken

mechanically separated chicken - mcnuggets

Say hello to mechanically separated chicken. It’s what all fast-food chicken is made from - things like chicken nuggets and patties. Also, the processed frozen chicken in the stores is made from it.

Basically, the entire chicken is smashed and pressed through a sieve - bones, eyes, guts and all  it comes out looking like this.

There’s more: because it’s crawling with bacteria, it will be washed with ammonia, soaked in it, actually. Then, because it tastes gross, it will be reflavored artificially. Then, because it is weirdly pink, it will be dyed with artificial color.

Now I'm glad I don't eat that.
