Hahhahaha...who would know. Most citations are missing these days, so that we don't know it's from Weekly World News. :lol:

"I see," said the blind carpenter, as he picked up his hammer and saw.

:lol: (I slay me!)

A Meridian man is doing something quite remarkable.

For more than 30 years now he has been making things out of wood -- but he has been doing it without a crucial tool.

It's not a saw, hammer or chisel that he's missing, but instead -- his eyesight.

And you might just be able to argue Jerry Gibson isn't missing it at all.

Gibson lost his sight in a construction accident about 35 years ago.

Soon after that, Jerry began teaching himself how to operate all these tools

When Angela Ihegboro first saw her newborn daughter, she was "speechless."

"She's a miracle baby," the 35-year-old mother said yesterday. "But still, what on earth happened here?"

What happened is that baby Nmachi is a blue-eyed, blond-haired white baby born to two black Nigerian immigrant parents at a London hospital.

"The first thing I said was, 'What the flip?' " said the father, Ben Ihegboro. "We both just sat there after the birth staring at her for ages -- not saying anything."

He quickly sought to dispel any speculation.

"Of course she is mine. My wife is true to me," the 44-year-old customer-service adviser said. "Even if she hadn't been, the baby still wouldn't look like that."



Genetics experts don't believe in miracles, but they didn't have any simple answers to the mystery of baby Nmachi. Instead, they offered three theories:

* She's the result of a gene mutation unique to her. If that is the case, Nmachi would pass the gene to her children -- and they, too, would likely be white.

* She's the product of long-dormant white genes, passed on to her by her parents, that might have been carried by their predecessors for generations without surfacing until now.

* While doctors have said Nmachi is not an outright albino, or lacking in all pigment, they added that the child may have some kind of mutated version of the genetic condition -- and that her skin could darken over time.

Hmmmm... Maybe she's a Nigerian albino child witch. :eek:

It happens. I am sure that both parents were a bit surprised.

Divide them up in small lots and sell for a profit to all the other silly people who would buy them.

ZenGum 07-22-2010 11:21 PM

Ahh, the "bigger idiot" theory of business. Works nine times out of ten.

I hope this woman googles, finds this post, and reads it.

WHAT A FUCKING MORON!

Woman finds "cross" in potato chips. Yeah, stupid people find stupid stuff in stupid food all the time, but it was this comment that sealed the deal for me:

Quote:

"I don't know, it's either divine inspiration or some random rogue person that decided to stick it into the bag of chips. I don't know, but I think it's cool," Biezad said.
Idiot. Yeah, potato chips would never come out like that by themselves. Some rogue person...pffffft.

She's clever, too. She named it the Cross Chip. How the fuck did she come up with that? Sly girl.

It barely even looks like a cross. I hope she and her boyfriend who keeps joking he's going to take it out of the box and eat it never procreate. :lol2:

Crap...why do guests keep viewing this? :unsure:

I was kidding! I kid!

I see that shit all the time in potatoes, it's a defect caused by the potato growing too quickly. it's called "hollow heart".

That broad is a knuckle head.

Marva Drew typed every number from 1 to 1,000,000, because a teacher told her kid nobody could count from 1 to 1,000,000, and she didn't believe it.
It took her six years, and 2500 pages, but Guinness said no record because nobody watched her do it.
