Man 'Allergic' To Wife

Man 'Allergic' To Wife
Love for his wife could kill this man. He has been told to steer clear of his wife. Reason: he is allergic to his wife's cosmetics.

Darren Young, 45, a bus driver from of Sprotbrough, South Yorks, had to be twice resuscitated when his heart stopped after dangerous allergic reactions.

The Sun reports that the allergy came to light when Darren was given a jab containing the chemical for a foot problem. In seconds his face swelled, his 6ft frame ballooned and his heart stopped and had to be restarted twice.

One of the world's rarest allergies has put the brakes on the couple's love life. Extensive tests revealed that Darren is allergic to most creams and cosmetics. This is the third such case in the world with an allergy to creams containing polyethylene glycol. Apart from cosmetics, Dareen must also avoid some types of food items, toothpaste, soap, shaving cream, suntan oil and even air freshener.

The man dare not cuddle up to Sue, his wife of four years, unless he is sure she is not wearing any creams containing polyethylene glycol.

"When it comes to bedtime Sue doesn't need a headache as an excuse. She just says she has been using body lotion and it might kill me", jokes the husband.

Yawning May Lead You To Jail

Yawning Leads Man To Jail
It is thought that yawning is an involuntary action and is natural. But beware; it is not always so. Yawning may lead you into prison ~ if it is inappropriate and is disturbing.

A man in a U.S Court gets a jail term for yawning in the court and disturbing its proceedings. He faces six months in jail for criminal contempt.

Clifton Williams, 33, was at the fourth-floor courtroom at the Will County Courthouse in Joliet when he yawned audibly while Circuit Judge Daniel Rozak was sentencing his cousin to 2 years' probation on felony drug charges. The judge had to stop proceedings for the loud sound to subside. But the judge was quick in delivering the maximum penalty for criminal contempt without a jury trial.

Williams's father said, "I was flabbergasted because I didn't realize a judge could do that. It seems to me like a yawn is an involuntary action."

But you are wrong, Senior Williams! Because the court thinks otherwise. "It wasn't a yawn. It was a loud, boisterous, deliberate noise and over-exaggerated stretch. It was a deliberate attempt to disrupt the court".

Now, if you think that yawning is associated with tiredness, stress, overwork, lack of stimulation, or even boredom, then think twice before acting!

Three Year Old Falls From Third Floor - Survives
This 3 year old boy was looking out an open window with a screen in place, but the screen gave way and he fell about 21 feet onto a hedge below. He was very lucky to survive with only some minor injuries, isn't it?

The incident happened at a hotel in California. The family was visiting from Kuwait and staying at the Larkspur Landing Hotel on Johnson Drive. The boy was looking out an open window leaning against a window screen. Suddenly, screen gave way and he fell about 21 feet onto a hedge below.

It was reported by the police that the screen may have helped absorbing some impact of the fall. The boy was rushed to Children Hospital Oakland, where his condition is reported to be improving and his injuries are reported to be minor.

Sale Of Saliva Of Teenage Girls Banned by Auction Site
Do you want to buy bottled saliva of pretty teenage girls as tonic? What a weird idea! Anyway, you can't buy these bottles anymore. The auction site has banned its sale.

A Chinese man collected saliva of some 18 year old girls while they were sleeping, bottled them and offered for sale at Taobao, which is an online auction site similar to eBay. These small bottles were offered at $4. The man with this unusual idea says that the saliva is a 'tonic'.

Fortunately, Taobao has removed it from its listing. The seller claims that his interest in placing the ads was just to see how far he could go with them.

Now, do you think that the saliva has any medicinal value? Would you like to buy such bottles? Or you think it is a weird, cruel idea?

11 Year Old To Climb 14 Mountains in 14 Days

11 Year Old To Climb 14 Mountains in 14 Days
A 11 year old boy is will attempt to climb 14 of Colorado's mountains in 14 days along with his friends and family to raise money for an ailing friend.

Matt Moniz has already raised $14,000 so far. His friend, 9 year old Ian Hess, has pulmonary arterial hypertension and requires about $100,000 in annual medical treatment and medicines. Matt expects to raise the entire money for treatment by his 14 summit attempts.

Now, that is not all! The dailycamera report states that Matt is the Boulderite who became the youngest person ever to summit Argentina's 22,841-foot Cerro Aconcagua last December. In addition to Aconcagua, Matt and his father have summitted two more of the Seven Summits, the highest mountains on all seven continents. They've climbed Europe's Mount Elbrus (18,510 feet) and Africa's Mount Kilimanjaro (19,341 feet), and they've also trekked to Everest Base Camp, where they summitted nearby 18,501-foot Kala Patar.

It is a challenging task. Kudos to this nice kid for the noble cause and I wish him all success at this endeavor.
