1. Tall Model From Brazil
No one understands the plight of the tall
girl more than Elisany da Cruz Silva, a 17-year-old girl from Brazil who
currently stands at six feet, nine inches in height. Elisany is a
remarkable girl with a very rare form of gigantism caused by a tumor on
her pituitary gland. She has been experiencing great leaps in height
growth since her late childhood.
Luckily, recently Elisany was able to undergo
a special surgery that was intended to remove the tumor from her
pituitary gland – a procedure which proved to be successful for various
reasons. Since the tumor was thought to have been the cause of her
gigantism, her doctors are confident that having removed the tumor not
only saves her overall health, but may also stop her from growing any
taller.
Elisany’s family cannot be more supportive of
her and her dreams. Currently, she lives with her mother and brother
and sisters, and aspires to someday become a fashion model. Since her
surgery, Elisany has (to everyone’s surprised delight), decreased one
inch in height – something that no one thought was possible.
2. 8 FOOT ROUND OF B00TILICOUSNESS: THE WORLD’S WIDEST H!PS
No woman knows this to be true more than Mikel Ruffinelli, who currently holds the record for having the widest hips in the world. Looking at her directly from a front-end view, she appears to be a very, VERY shapely woman – but nothing would really strike you as abnormal.
Get a little closer, pull out a measuring tape, and wrap it around her hips however, and you’ll find that Mikel is way beyond your average curvy lady. Her hips measure at an amazing eight foot circumference – meaning she has a generous eight feet of bootiliciousness for you.
3. THE DIRTIEST MAN ALIVE
Somewhere deep within the dusty outskirts of
Farashband, Iran lives a unique creature who could easily be considered
the dirtiest human alive.
Meet Amoo Hadij, a peculiar 80-year-old man
who has not bathed himself once in more than 60 years. Amoo Hadij lives
in a small abandoned brick hut in the village of Dezhgah, completely
alone, surrounded by garbage, dirt, and animal feces. A bit of a loner,
Amoo likes to keep to himself, and rarely has the opportunity to
interact with other people. This is probably due to the fact that he
smells to high heaven and has the outward appearance of a troll.
However, Amoo Hadij has no idea he’s so
dirty. In fact, his less than sanitary but simple life is completely by
choice. He is dirty because he has refused to bathe – not because he
does not have a way of cleaning himself.
Looking at Amoo, one can see that his skin is
as thick as leather and a bit scaly, most likely due to the layers and
layers of dirt and grime that have accumulated over his body over the
last 60 years.
His face and beard are covered in black soot
because he is a constant smoker, with his most prized possession being a
broken steel pipe, which he uses to smoke animal dung on a daily basis.
Though he’s technically not homeless, he often sleeps outside of his
simple shelter, preferring the “fresh air,” as well as the warmth of his
fire pit.
No one knows why Amoo has refused to bathe in
over six decades. However, he seems to be doing fine. While it is
difficult to understand why anyone would choose to live the way he does,
he appears to be completely content with his primitive but personally
satisfying lifestyle.
