I’LL eat my beard!
The common “I’ll eat my beard”
expression became a reality for
one Kentucky resident, Harvey
Westmoreland, whose former
friends forced him to eat his own
beard, after a fight over a
lawnmower.
According to reports, the two
drunk friends invited Harvey over
for a beverage, and at some point
throughout the afternoon offered
to buy his lawnmover.
The gathering soon turned sour
over the price of the lawnmower,
and according to Harvey, knives
and guns were produced, before
the two gents shaved off Harvey’s
beard and made him eat it.
The two men are now up on
charges, whilst Harvey has, no
doubt, had to deal with a slight
case of indigestion.
HEADS, shoulders, toes and fingers. Doctors at Zhengzhou Hospital, in the Chinese Henan Province, have managed to save a nine-year old girl’s hand, by grafting it onto her shin. Ming Li was walking to school three months ago when she was run over by a tractor, an event which left her with a severed arm. On arrival at the hospital doctors determined that with the arm in the condition that it was, it would have been impossible to reattach it in the right spot. As such they grafted it onto her right calf, and let it heal for three months, before detaching it again, and reattaching it in its original location. According to doctors Li’s recovery is going well, with colour returning to the limb. Not out of the woods just yet, Li still needs two more operations, one to improve the functionality of her hand, and the other to improve the look of her scars.
