Sweden woman awoke to find stranger's tongue on her arm

A woman in eastern sweden awoke with a start recently to find stranger's tongue on her arm, man lying next to her in bed.

The young woman was asleep beside her boyfriend at the time of the stranger's unexpected visit. Upon discovering the strange man’s tongue pressed against the inside of her elbow, the woman first woke up her boyfriend to ask if he knew who the stranger was.


The couple’s initial attempts to force the unknown intruder out of the house were met with angry rebuttals from the man, who demanded to know who the couple was and what they were doing there.

The arm-tasting bandit has now been charged with sexual molestation, breaking and entering, as well as drug crimes, the newspaper reports.

In defending his actions, the 22-year-old man told police he was drunk at the time and has no recollection of entering the couple’s home or licking the woman’s arm.

The incident, which took place two months ago, is reminiscent of a similar incident from October involving a drunken student from skane in southern Sweden.

Following a party with his university classmates, the student broke into a home he thought was his own, but in fact belonged to a family who were startled by the strangers’ abrupt entrance.

The mother at first thought the drunken student was her son, but upon realising she instead had an intruder in her home, she called police and waited outside with her family in the pouring rain until five squad cars arrived in response to the call.

The student was given a suspended sentence, fined, and ordered to pay to replace the window he broke to enter the house.

Weird health rituals | Dangerous tradition in india

In what has got to be on of the most vile and disturbing things ever put to print, a man in eastern India was arrested for his unconventional and downright insane method of curing the common cold in children.

50-year old Jamun Yadav, who considers himself to be a demigod of the Hindu faith, believes he can channel and transfer divine energy through his feet, which has lead to him standing on the necks and throats of young children suffering from your average run-of-the-mill cold.


Santosh Singh, who served as a spokesman for the police on the case, stated that the parents who allowed this self-described holy man were most likely unaware of his methods. When asked about them, the guru claimed that he was merely speaking for God, and as such needs no other defense.

Although an isolated incident, it serves as a grim reminder of the dangerous religious traditions observed by many Hindus in India, many of which are done so for the health of their children. One such ritual involves throwing infants off of a fifty foot tower, a tradition thought to bring good health and luck to the child throughout his or her life.


The children are tossed from the tower onto a tightly stretched sheet below, where they seemingly bounce safely and are then handed to their mothers. This bizarre and dangerous ritual, which has been practiced for 500 years, has yet to count any fatalities, but that hasn’t stopped critics from deriding it as unsafe.

The ritual is typically performed by Hindus and Muslims alike in the Indian district of Solapur, which is located in Maharashtra, as well as smaller outlying villages. Before the event happens, the parents of the babies being take a vow at a temple.


A more recent incident highlights the case of Nek Singh, an Indian guru who employs brutal beatings to "cure any ailment," including cancer. Oddly enough, all of his "patients" were women. The treatment involved savage kicks and punches, and even standing on the head of the individual. The guru proclaimed that the goddess Kali possessed him, enabling him with the power to heal through physical violence.

Based out of the Etah district of Uttar Pradesh in India, police eventually raided the village, but the self-proclaimed spiritual healer managed to evade capture. Although his whereabouts are unknown, I would be surprised if he and his neck stompin’ buddy are enjoying a cold beer somewhere in hiding.

Another similarly disturbing tradition is the practice of burying disabled children alive up to their necks for six hours during a solar eclipse for approximately six hours. This is seemingly done to offset the negative effects that are thought to be caused by a prior solar eclipse.

Although genuine testing has been done to test the relationship between mud therapy and the eclipse, no conclusions have been drawn, despite many mothers stating their children have experienced improved mobility after undergoing the terrifying ritual.

Twinkle dwivedi | The girl who cries blood | Strange bleeding

For the last three years, doctors have been trying to figure out what makes Twinkle Dwivedi body ooze blood through her eyes, feet and even her head, but she remains a medical mystery.

When Twinkle’s case first appeared in the international media, many hurried to call her a fake, but after countless tests and procedures, including blood transfusions, doctors are still baffled by her strange bleeding. A group of medical specialists, led by dr. George Buchanan, recently traveled to North India to investigate the 14-year-old Twinkle, but all they have been able to say was that “she really suffers from a condition we have never seen before.”
The young teen remembers her disorder first appeared when she was just 11, and her classmates started mocking her and calling her disgusting. Although her bleeding didn’t hurt at all, she felt scared and alone, because no one would come near her. At first she would cry when she saw her clothes soaked with blood, but now she just keeps quiet, and prays she will eventually get better.
Despite her parents efforts, who took her to see the best doctors, Twinkle Dwivedi still bleeds from her eyes and pores, up to 14 times a day.

Spain bull rampage | Bull injured 40 people in northern spain

Is this the red rag that set the bull off? Man in England shirt dives for safety as beast goes on rampage through Spanish crowd. At 9:48 AM on 20th August 2010

Resting his chin in his hands and enjoying the Spanish sun, this man in a red England shirt has no idea that he is about to come face to face with a rampaging, enraged beast.

Seconds later he is fleeing for his life as one bull leaps into the stands at a bullring and charges through the crowd.

At least 40 people were injured when the 1,100lb animal scaled the perimeter fence and tore through the crowd in Tafalla, Spain, sending spectators fleeing for their lives.
Hmmm, that bull is starting to get a little close to the fence: The man in the England jersey, circled, watches the creature - seemingly oblivious to what is about to happen

OMG: The Lion comes face to face with 1,100 pounds of fury as the bull leaps over the perimeter fence. The England fan must have been able to feel the creature's hot breath in his face

It's go time: Lucky for the fan, the bull stumbles over the fence - giving him an extra split second to leap up and flee

I'm an England fan, get me out of here! The fan - who by now has lost his sunglasses - puts valuable feet between him and the bull


Among the injured was a ten-year-old boy, who was taken to hospital with serious stomach wounds. One man was gored in the back.


The incident happened during an event attended by about 3,500 spectators, in which contestants known as recortadores try to get a bull to charge at them so they can dodge it.

But the bull jumped out of the ring, clearing two barriers before landing in the stands and lurching through the screaming crowd, charging at everything it could.

He appeared to be taking particular aim at the man in the England jersey.

But, despite the phrase 'like a red rag to a bull', the animals are actually colour blind. When a matador waves his red cape in the ring, it is the movement, not the colour, that attracts the creature.

Too close for comfort: The creature charges, leaving people with little room for escape

Fear: A man prepares to shield a young child from the advancing bull, blood visible on its horns (above and below)


Brave: A man grabs the bull's tail in a vain attempt to control it

Distraction tactics A cape is thrown at the beast in an effort to distract it. The bull was caught and later lifted out of the ring with a crane and killed


One brave spectator even grabbed the bull by the tail in an attempt to slow it down. The animal had already tried to jump into the stands twice.

After damaging a horn, it was about to be returned to the corral and replaced with another bull when it tried a third time and succeeded.

The panic on Wednesday lasted for several minutes before handlers managed to rope the bull and bring it under control. It was later killed.

Ten of world's strangest snacks

Hakarl: Icelandic Fermented Shark

Popular in Iceland, the Hákarl is a basking shark which has been cured with a particular fermentation process and hung to dry for four to five months.
It is often served in cubes on toothpicks and comes in two varieties; chewy and reddish glerhákarl (lit. "glassy shark") from the belly, and white and soft skyrhákarl (lit. "skyr shark") from the body.

Balut: Fertilized Duck Egg

Balut is a fertilized duck egg, with a partially formed fetus inside.
It is usually eaten by cracking open the shell and drinking the fluid.
Then fetus is seasoned with salt and pepper, and eaten raw.
These eggs can be commonly found in the Philippines and other parts of Southeast Asia.

Kanikko: Candied Crabs

Lacquered with a sugary, slightly spicy coating, these Japanese crab snacks taste fishy and sweet.

Casu Frazigu: Italian Maggot Cheese

During the aging process of "Rotten Cheese," a fly called Piophila casei deposits its eggs on the cheese.
When the maggots are born, they move throughout the cheese, excreting enzymes that give it an overwhelmingly pungent smell, a rotten taste, and a soft, creamy texture.
The cheese is served at weddings and other family gatherings.

Escamomes: Ant Eggs

Escamoles are made from the eggs of black ants, which are collected from colonies, and harvested from the roots of the agave plant in Mexico.
They must be collected, just before the larvae turn into ants, and the larvae collectors must wear protective gear to protect themselves from stings.
Their taste have been described as that of corn, and they are often eaten in tacos.

Squid Balls

A Chinese snack, they feel mildly squid-ish, craggy on the outside and steamy-bouncy on the inside.

Dried Wild Fish

Targeted to kids, this snack made in China to be distributed in Russia may seem repulsive to some and the list of ingredients on the back of the pouch is refreshingly short: fish, salt.

Crickets on a stick

If you live in Beijing or Bangkok, you might fancy a taste of crickets.
Or maybe you would prefer baby nestling sparrows, mice, snakes, or maybe a bowl of scrumptious scorpion soup?

Black Garlic Chocolate

Japan's Black Garlic Chocolates are made by Takko Shoji, who claims the fermented black garlic coated with bittersweet chocolate can increase energy and promote metabolism when eaten regularly over a couple of months.

Pork Skin

Pork rinds --pieces of pig's fried or roasted skin (rind)-- are actually quite common in several countries around the world.
Chunks of cured pork skins are deep-fried and puffed into light, irregular curls, and often seasoned with chili pepper or barbecue flavouring.

These micro-wavable pork rinds are sold in bags that resemble microwave popcorn (although not exhibiting the 'popping' sound) and can be eaten still warm.
Pickled pork rinds, on the other hand are often enjoyed refrigerated and cold.
Unlike the crisp and fluffy texture of fried pork rinds, pickled pork rinds are very rich and buttery, much like foie Gras.

Chinese woman with a horn on her head

Zhang Ruifang is 101 years old.Last year a horn began growing on her forehead.It doesn’t cause any pain, but looks very strange.

Chinese woman Zhang Ruifang, of Linlou Village in Henan Province, claims the strange growth first appeared only last year and has since expanded to be more than two inches long. Now it looks like another one may be sprouting on the other side of her head.

These strange sea species were found in Greenland waters. All the fish in the pictures look scary, and I will never go swimming in that region :)
