Man stuck head-first in drain after dropping wallet

newslite--21-year-old Jared Medeiros had apparently climbed into the manhole head first after dropping his wallet and found himself unable to climb back out.

Police were first on the scene - after Jared had been in there about 40 minutes - but despite their best efforts the "slightly intoxicated" man could not be removed.

It then fell to firefighters to rescue him and pull him free from the tight spot. He was soon released to his mother with minor scrapes and bruises. There was no news on the wallet.The wonderfully worded police report said: "Ceres Officers responded to the 2200 Block of Hale Aloha Way for a report of a person flailing his legs from the ground."The officers arrived and discovered two legs kicking outside of a manhole".

Indian Child Born with 34 Fingers and Toes

Ten fingers. Ten toes. And another 14 tossed in for good measure. A one-year old boy in India is now a record holder as Guinness has recognized his 34 fingers and toes as the most belonging to anyone in the world.

Young Akshat Saxena, from Uttar Pradesh in northern India, has a condition known as polydactylism, a congenital anomaly that litterally means “many fingers.” In the case of Akshat, it involves his fingers and toes.

Upon seeing her child, the boy’s mother Amrita was “shocked and surprised.” The doctor revealed that her son had broken the world record, beating out a Chinese boy with a combined 31 digits. This was confirmed when they hopped online and registered the data.

Doctors have performed a number of surgeries to remove the extra digits, though a distinct lack of thumbs have required them to construct them from scratch out of the removed fingers.source:weirdasiannews By Lycurgus
