Apparently an alleged Iranian bomber blew off his own legs by mistake in Bangkok while he tried to throw a grenade at Thai police officers outside a school in the city. The grenade he threw hit a tree and bounced back, exploding at his feet.

According to DailyMail the incident happened after the man blew up his own home and then threw a grenade at a taxi driver who refused to take his as a passenger in his car. Police officers recovered a satchel close to the blast in Bangkok which contained an Iranian ID card. At the search of the address written on the ID, police officers discovered more explosive. Apparently the location was a rental which the bomber shared with two other unidentified people.

In the 3 blasts four people, one woman and three men were injured. The incident comes only a day after Israeli diplomats have been targeted by simultaneous car bomb attacks, which are also allegedly linked to Iran.

Panic takes over at the first glimpse of the amazing photographs taken by Panhandle Helicopter pilot JR Hott, which reveal the Florida coastline invaded by ‘tsunami wave clouds’, but fear not as these are only clouds that cover the coastline buildings. The low-lying haze can be clearly seen enveloping the buildings from Panama City, Florida, and the visual spectacle is just breathtaking.

Nature’s phenomenons can be spectacular especially when they are nor showing their destructive force, and these wave clouds have managed to attract a generous amount of attention from weather enthusiasts and not only.

Dr Greg Forbes, from weather.com, said that the amazing wave clouds are formed as moist air is pushed towards the coastline, slowed down by friction which ‘gives it a little extra convergence and an upward forcing of the air to rise’ which enables the clouds to go over the high buildings facing the Ocean and down again towards the ground, thus lowering the relative humidity enabling the clouds to dissipate. The high humidity that formed right off the shoreline caused the clouds to form as low and enabled Mr. Hott to take pictures of a rare natural phenomenon.

According to DailyMail, Mr. Hott told KATU that the photographs were taken during a flight on a Sunday. He said:
“We jumped into helicopter and took off. Within a few minutes after we landed, it covered up the helipad.”

The Year of the Dragon has blessed a Chinese family with a baby boy weighing 15.52 pounds (7kg). Baby Chun Chun was born in a hospital in Xinxiang city, Henan, to a 29 year old mother which apparently has given birth to a baby girl before but she weight a healthy 8 pounds.

According to DailyMail the baby boy’s mother stated that she felt that her pregnancy is special as she saw her baby belly growing slightly larger than with her previous pregnancy. She said that:
“I clearly felt that my body was more clumsy than when I had been pregnant with my daughter. My belly was bigger than it was then. I guessed the baby would be between 4.5 and 5kg. I never expected to hear that he weighs 7 kg (15 pounds).”

Chun Chun, who is twice the weight of a normal child could now hold the record for being the country’s heaviest babies. His father, Han Jingang, stated that he is delighted that his son was born healthy and that he is a ‘dragon’ baby. He said:
“My wife was not different from other pregnant women. She ate and drank normally as she should. But she’s given birth to such a big, fat son. Today is the first day of spring in the Chinese calendar and he’s a ‘dragon baby’. I feel very happy.”

Both baby and mother are doing well. The heaviest baby ever recorded being born weighed 10.8kgs (23lbs) and was born in 1879 in Ohio, but died shortly after.

It’s not every day that you see your banking account get bigger with £31,000 by accident but Mark Rafferty, 29, from UK, experienced this ‘miracle’ and decided not to report the mistake but go on a shopping spree instead and a ‘well earned’ vacation to New York.

Apparently the sum was put into his account by mistake, by his ex employer, an Auto Service firm based in Oldham. The money was intended to be transferred to a pensions funds account, but by error managed to find their way into Mr. Rafferty’s account.

According to DailyMail, Mr Rafferty chose to make the best out of the money and hence he was jobless, as his short term contract with the firm was terminated just weeks before the banking error, he decided to splurge on a £3,000 holiday to New York, new clothes, a cool watch, a new mobile phone, an X Box, an iPad and put the rest into savings.

However, once the firm realized the error they tried to contact and notify Mr. Rafferty of the error and at first he agreed to repay the money he had spent in instalments but state that shortly after they lost contact with his, so the case was taken to court.
Mr. Rafferty initially paid the firm back £19,120 but failed to pay the rest, a sum totalling to £11,930.

Manchester’s Minshull Street Crown Court handled the case in which Mr. Rafferty who pleaded guilty to theft and ordered him 12-months of community service including 180 hours of unpaid work.

It seems that the horrific strain of MRSA called USA300 which is actually a form of pneumonia that affects the skin actually causing boils caused by flesh-eating bacteria, has been signaled in UK. The flesh-eating bug is resistant to various antibiotics and can easily be transmitted through skin-to-skin contact.

The bacteria which can easily be transmitted from person to person especially in public transportation has been identified as possibly fatal in severe cases, by causing blood poisoning or a form of pneumonia that damages the lung tissue.

According to MailOnline, Dr Ruth Massey, from the Department of Biology and Biochemistry at the University of Bath said that about 200 such cases were discovered last year and that the bug seems to affect healthy people as well. He said:
“These community-acquired strains seem to be good at affecting healthy people – they seem to be much better than the hospital ones at causing disease. They don’t rely on healthcare workers moving them around, which the hospital ones seem to.”

The strain which was also discovered in US, is hoped not to become a huge problem as scientists are trying to find the way to combat the antibiotic resistant virus. According to studies performed the community-acquired bacteria is stronger than the one that developed in hospitals. Dr. Massey said that:
“Our research found that the composition of the cell wall of the bacteria is critical to the community-acquired bacteria being more toxic. The ability of the MRSA bacteria to secrete toxins is one of the main ways it causes disease. Using a sensing system, it carefully controls when it switches on its ability to do this, so as not to cause disease until it is firmly established within the human. Many antibiotics target the cell walls of harmful bacteria, and to resist this, the bacteria have to make changes to their cell wall.”

This is definitely a bug that will surely make you think a lot more about hygiene and the unnecessary use of antibiotics.

The cyber world is constantly evolving and sometimes this evolution doesn’t bring all positive things with it as experts revealed a new virus is targeting your PC’s. Apparently the new class viruses named drive-by emails are sent via your email but the catch is this time the computer will be affected even without opening the attachment.

The user will not be informed about the attack on your computer as the email itself doesn’t contain a virus but it automatically downloads malicious software on your PC, from the moment the email is clicked to be opened. With no warning from your security defence pack, the virus will be downloaded onto your computer and the only message that will appear will be “Loading”.

According to DailyMail, security experts from Eleven Research Team say that these new generation of viruses will target and affect even people who don’t usually open unknown links or attachments in emails.
“This sort of spam also affects cautious users which would never open an unknown attachment or link. This driveby spam automatically downloads malware when the e-mail is opened in the e-mail client. Previous malware e-mails required the user to click on a link or open an attachment for the PC to be infected. The new generation of e-mail-borne malware consists of HTML e-mails which automatically downloads malware when the e-mail is opened. This is similar to so-called driveby downloads which infect a PC by opening an infected website in the browser.”

It seems that socializing networks are now an easy way for suicidal people to share their last wishes with their friends and family, as Cynthia Lee from Michigan, a 23 year old mother of three proves by posting a suicide note on her Facebook wall before she committed suicide.

Apparently the young mother couldn’t cope with her problems anymore as she wrote on her wall that she can’t handle this “sh*^” any longer. However, the more disturbing seem to be the photos she updated on her profile days before she decided to end her life, pictures with her at what appears to be a costume party, where she is seen chained to a chair wearing a dress and looking all bloody and bruised as a buffoon dressed person holds a weapon with a blade near her throat.

Cynthia, wrote the following on her Facebook wall from her grandfather’s house before she shot herself, while the other members of the family were at home:
“leon aka my “dad” your A GOOD FOR NOTHING DRUG CHEATING LOSER I HATE YOU YOUR NOT ALOUD AT MY FUNERAL DUDE FOR REAL! To anyone else who was real to me im very sorry I can’t handle this sh&% anymore…RYAN DAVID HARDWICK I love you with all my heart but every time we get caught talking you go to jail I will NOT ever be a reason you go there again my pain is too strong to strong to handle any longer im sorry for hurting you just know U R MY TRUE LOVE….mom here I come”

According to The Smoking Gun, Ms. Lee’s mother died in 2007. Investigators who arrived at the scene found Ms. Lee dead in the house from a gun shot wound.

Ms. Lee’s Facebook account is no longer available.

It seems that Stacy Irvine from, Birmingham found her ‘guilty pleasure’ in chicken nuggets and has been regularly eating them since she first tasted them at age two. At 17 years old, the girl has admitted she’s been hooked on the tasty chicken nuggets for 15 years now and rarely has something else to eat. According to DailyMail, the 17 year has recently collapsed and has been rushed to the hospital where doctors gave her a series of injections and started her on an urgent course of vitamins.

Although she has been warned by physicians before about her unhealthy eating habits, Ms. Irvine has never eaten fruits or vegetable, and has continued eating her favorite junk food. Due to the lack of vitamins in her organism, Ms Irvine has experienced shortness of breath before eventually collapsing.

At the arrival at the hospital doctors found she had swollen veins in her tongue and suffered from anaemia. After receiving several injections and being put on immediate vitamin treatment, Ms Irvine finally realized that she could seriously suffer from her bad eating habit.

Apparently Ms Irvin’s mother Evonne, 39, has tried to kick her daughter’s habit away and even tried to convince her to go to a specialist but says that her efforts didn’t work. She said:
“It breaks my my heart to see her eating those damned nuggets. She’s been told in no uncertain terms that she’ll die if she carries on like this. But she says she can’t eat anything else.”

Experts say that a diet based only on chicken nuggets and fries can severely affect the organism due to the high content of fat and salt. These foods are low in vitamins and nutrients, so the organism will eventually fail. High blood pressure, increased heart attack chances and a weak immune system are the main consequences of such a poor diet.
