The real blue man

Incredible as it seems, this is not paint or some elaborate tattoo. Karason's condition is a very rare, but medically recognized one: Argyria. It's a form of silver toxicity that comes from Paul's homemade treatment for another skin condition, dermatitis, that began to trouble him shortly before his transformation began. He drinks a potion of colloidal silver to keep the dermatitis at bay, but the side effect leaves his skin with its fascinating tinted shade.

Colloidal silver was once used as an antibiotic before penicillin became widely available, and seems to be treating Paul's other problem effectively. The elixir, made by using an electric current to strip silver atoms off a piece of metal and force them into a water-based solution, is rarely harmful; the Argyria is usually a benign side effect; one Paul is prepared to live with until the end of his days. The color change comes from the interaction of the silver particles with light; much like photographic paper, which often contains silver for this very reason, it darkens with exposure.

However, society has been less than understanding. Paul was forced to relocate to Madera, California this year in order to find a place to live that's more accepting of unorthodox personal lifestyle choices. Still, even in California, the state famed for tolerance, Paul may be hard-pressed to find people who will live up to the modern social credo, that all people are equal, no matter the color of skin.

In a recent interview, Paul said: "I hope that they just accept me, and I think that will happen here. Where I was, I rather doubt it would have. This is a different kind of community here."

A BUSINESSMAN who lost his mobile phone on a beach was amazed when it turned up â€" in the belly of a massive cod.
Andrew Cheatle thought his Nokia handset had been lost at sea after it slipped from his pocket.

Lost and found ... mobile phone
But a week later his girlfriendâ€™s mobile rang and it was fisherman Glen Kerley saying heâ€™d found the phone in a 25lb fish.

Andrew got the handset back, dried it out â€" and amazingly it still works.

Andrew, 45, said: â€œI was messing about with my dog and my phone must have fallen out and been swept out in the swell.

â€œI kept calling it but I gave up hope after a couple of days.â€

He was shopping for a new phone with girlfriend Rita Smith, 33, when her mobile went off.

She told him: â€œYour old mobile number is calling my phone.â€

Andrew continued: â€œShe said some guy was going on about my phone and a cod so she handed it over to me and he told me where he had found it.

â€œI thought he was winding me up but he assured me he had caught a cod that morning and was gutting it for his fish stall and that my Nokia was inside it â€" a bit worse for wear.

â€œI didnâ€™t believe him but went to meet him and found it was my phone â€" a bit smelly and battered â€" but incredibly it still worked after I let it dry out.â€

Trawlerman Glen, 45, had tried to use the phone but it didnâ€™t work. So he took out the SIM card and put it in his handset to try to trace the owner.

Glen, of Worthing, West Sussex, said: â€œCod are greedy fish â€" theyâ€™ll eat anything. They have big heads and big mouths.

â€œIâ€™ve found plastic cups, stones, teaspoons, batteries and Iâ€™ve also heard of someone finding false teeth in one.

â€œThis fish was about 25lbs and about 4ft long â€" not unusual but bigger than average.

â€œI know what itâ€™s like to lose your phone. It can be really frustrating. So I thought I may as well make a few calls to see if I could get it back to him.

â€œIt was a bit smelly but I was glad to return it.â€

Andrew â€" who runs an online retail company â€" still uses it.

He said: â€œIt was working but it kept playing up so I had to get the circuit board changed in the end. But now itâ€™s fine. I know it sounds a fishy tale but it is 100 per cent true.â€ The Sun

The odd looking fish, which has rare, forward-facing eyes like humans and a secretive nature, was first spotted a little more than a year ago in the busy harbor of Ambon Island, Indonesia.

According to University of Washington's (UW) Ted Pietsch, Psychedelica is an apt name, given the absurd way the fish swim, some with so little control that they look intoxicated.

Members of Histiophryne psychedelica, or H. psychedelica, don't so much swim as hop.

Each time they strike the seafloor, they use their fins to push off and they expel water from tiny gill openings on their sides to jettison themselves forward.

With tails curled tightly to one side, which surely limits their ability to steer, they look like inflated rubber balls bouncing hither and thither.

While other frogfish and similar species are known to jettison themselves up off the bottom before they begin swimming, none have been observed hopping.

It's just one of the behaviors of H. psychedelica never observed in any other fish, according to Pietsch, UW professor of aquatic and fishery sciences and curator of fishes at the UW Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture.

Adults of H. psychedelica are fist-sized with gelatinous bodies covered with thick folds of skin that protect them from sharp-edged corals as they haunt tiny nooks and crannies of the harbor reef.

Fins on either side of their bodies have, as with other frogfish, evolved to be leg-like, and members of H. psychedelica actually prefer crawling to swimming.

The species has a flattened face with eyes directed forward.

While other anglerfish change their coloring depending on the environment, the new species appears to maintain its wild striping no matter the surroundings.

The coloring led co-author David Hall, a wildlife photographer, to speculate that the fish is mimicking corals.

DNA work has revealed that H. psychedelica joins two other species in the genus Histiophryne, though the other two are very drably colored in comparison. newkerala.com

This is probably the first documented sighting of an albino elephant in northern Botswana.

"We have been studying elephants in the region for nearly 10 years now, and this is the first documented evidence of an albino calf that I have come across."

He said that the condition might make it difficult for the calf to survive into adulthood.

"What happens to these young albino calves remains a mystery," said Dr Chase.

"Surviving this very rare phenomenon is very difficult in the harsh African bush. The glaring sun may cause blindness and skin problems."

However, he told BBC News that there might be a ray of hope for the pink calf as it already seemed to be learning to adapt to its condition. I have learned that elephants are highly adaptable, intelligent and masters of survival

Dr Mike Chase, Elephants Without Borders

Dr Chase explained: "Because this elephant calf was sighted in the Okavango Delta, he may have a greater chance of survival. He can seek refuge under the large trees and cake himself in a thick mud, which will protect him from the Sun. BBC

Unusual pink Iguana.January 5, 2009â€"A new species of GalÃ¡pagos iguana has scientists tickled pink.

The pink iguana, named after its salmon-colored skin, lives only on the Wolf volcano on the island of Isabela.

Charles Darwin did not visit the volcano on his travels to the Ecuadorian island chains in the 1830s, so the creature remained undiscovered until 1986, when it was spotted by park rangers. Only now has it been recognized as its own species.

Gabriele Gentile, of Rome's University Tor Vergata, and colleagues are the first team to research and document the iguana, which will receive a formal scientific name in an upcoming paper.

Rare tongue-eating parasite found
A rare parasite which burrows into host fish before eating and replacing their tongues with itself has been found off the Jersey coast.

Fishermen near the Minquiers - islands under the jurisdiction of Jersey - found the isopod, a type of louse, inside a weaver fish.

Marine researcher Paul Chambers, from the SociÃ©tÃ© Jersiaise, was one of the fishing party and identified the find.

He said he was surprised to find the isopod away from the Mediterranean sea.

Isopods are normally about 2cm (1in) long and live in fish, surviving on the animal's blood, in warm waters.

'Quite vicious'

Mr Chambers told BBC Jersey: "When we emptied the fish bag out there at the bottom was this incredibly ugly looking isopod.

"Really quite large, really quite hideous - if you turn it over its got dozens of these really sharp, nasty claws underneath and I thought 'that's a bit of a nasty beast'.

"I struggled for weeks to find an identification for this thing until, quite by chance I stumbled across something that looked similar in a Victorian journal.

"Apparently there's not too much ill effect to the fish itself except it's lost its tongue."

Experts at the University of Southampton confirmed that the creature was an isopod and that there had been several sightings of them in Cornwall in 1996.

Mr Chambers added: "It doesn't affect humans other than if you do actually come across a live one and try and pick it up - they are quite vicious, they will deliver a good nip."

Pink grasshopper!

James Chubb, education ranger for East Devon District Council, said: "There are billions of meadow grasshoppers across England but this is the first pink one I have ever seen.

"It is caused by a genetic mutation in its reproductive cycle.

"It's almost a full adult, so if it has survived this long being bright pink there is a chance it will live to reproduce and pass on its pink gene."

He said grasshoppers of different colours were "unusual" but not unheard of. BBC

Old woman (101) grows horn on her headA year ago, this horn began to grow from the left side of the forehead of 101-year-old

The picture is no trick â€" a genuine horn measuring six centimetres is protruding from Zhang Ruifang's head and a second is beginning to grow on the other side.

Ruifang lives in the small village Linlou in the Henan province in China. The mother-of-seven discovered a patch of rough skin on her forehead a year ago.

â€œWe didn't pay too much attention to it,â€ her youngest son Zhang Guozheng (60) told the Daily Mail.

But within a short amount of time, a brown horn grew from his motherâ€™s forehead!

â€œIt is now six cm long,â€ said Guozheng. And as if that wasnâ€™t enough: â€œNow something is also growing on the right side of her forehead. Itâ€™s quite possible that itâ€™s another horn.â€ bild.de
