NO stitches required. An Australian surfer, Stephen
King, has narrowly escaped a
medical emergency after a whaler
shark took a large bite out of his
surfboard but only managed to
cause a few cuts to King’s legs.
Describing himself as the
“luckiest man on two legs” King
said the attack occurred as he
was about to catch a wave off a
beach near Yamba on the far
north coast of NSW.
“Just as I was taking off, jumping
up, there was this bang from the
side and I was cartwheeling
through the air and it was just
thrashing beside me,” he said.
EXTRA digits for extra cash.
An animal rescue centre in the
US city of Milwaukee is
captalising on a mutation in one
of its rescued cats.
The cat, affectionately known
as Daniel, has polydactylism, a
mutation that means instead of
18 toes, he has 26.
It was not long after he was
rescued that the centre realised
his unique quality, and decided
to make him their mascot.
This has subsequently become
handy after the centre’s landlord
raised the rent, with workers
putting together a creative
campaign asking for $26
donations so they can relocate to
a new base.
