WHISKY for eyesight?
A Kiwi man, Denis Duthie, has
had his sight restored by a bottle
of Johnnie Walker Black Label.
Duthie lost his sight after a few
shots of vodka, to celebrate his
parents 50th wedding anniversary
reacted with his diabetes
medication and rendered him blind.
“I thought it had got dark and
I'd missed out on a bit of time but
it was only about half-past-three
in the afternoon,” Duthie said.
“I was fumbling around the
bedroom for the light switch but
I'd just gone completely blind.”
After going blind Duthrie was
rushed to Taranaki Base Hospital
where he was diagnosed with
formaldehyde poisoning.
The treatment for formaldehyde
poisoning is ingesting ethanol,
the type of alcohol found in
alcoholic drinks.
Unfortunately, there was not
enough ethanol in the hospital to
treat Duthie, so doctors managed
to secure a bottle of Black Label
from the local Bottle-O.
The whisky was then fed into
Duthie’s stomach via a tube, and
he woke up five days later with
his vision returned.
THE truth is out there?
The worlds of conspiracy
theories and alien aficionados
have been sent into a spin this
week, after the publication of a
picture seemingly showing an
alien-looking cloud on an
American UFO website this week.
“I thought it looked more like a
hamburger than a UFO,” said the
cloud’s photographer, Jim Paxie,
who caught the cloud in the early
evening hours.
Paxie’s photo was then hijacked
by his brother-in-law, an alien
theorist, who posted the photo
onto the popular site UFO
Sightings Daily, where it started a
veritable wildfire of theories.
One popular possibility
currently doing the rounds is that
UFO’s cover themselves in cloud
in order to move with stealth.
