Tantalize your taste buds with the following strange and unusual facts. Some are humorous, others are ridiculous and the rest, well, you can judge for yourself.

We are told to get a second opinion when a doctor’s diagnosis seems wrong. However has anyone done this after they've passed away? Well this father did as he refused to believe his doctor.
South China Morning Post: Boy who drowns in a nearby pool was declared dead in a south China hospital. Well this diagnosis just wasn’t good enough for dear old dad. Whisking the boy off to a larger hospital in Shenzhen, three-year-old Wang Xuan was revived. And newspapers confirmed the boy later recovered in their intensive care unit. You just never know the outcome of fate unless you try and change it.
Toad Jumps from Can of Dog Food; Yikes
You would think that a simple can of dog food would contain just that, dog food. But for the Sheridan’s, that magical tin of Winalot dog food not only consisted of dog food, it revealed a real live toad. Now who would ever think? And how could this be? Can a toad survive in a sealed can for three months? Dr. Roger Meek had but one explanation, the toad’s ability to shut down its metabolism. The Sheridan’s decided to keep their new lucky pet giving him Buddy for a name. Awesome!
Man Almost Swallows Whole Fish
Well this poor hungry soul forgot to cook the fish first. Henry Thomas Buckner did the most outrageous thing. Fishing on the Ocklawaha River his friends and stepfather toke note to his strange babbling.
But they didn’t notice Henry stuffing the fish in his mouth yet, there it was, wedged between his teeth. Bleeding from his mouth the men’s efforts to remove it failed.

In this case it was the fish that snagged the fisherman. Yikes!

The egg similar in shape to that of a real egg was not white but rather black. And after this amazing delivery the cow developed an appetite. Stunned by this funny story animal experts have begun researching. (China Daily) Updated: 2006-04-17 09:20
Plant Sprouts Leaves from inside Mans Nose??
You never know what they may find during a routine check up, or better yet find growing. The boy from a mountain village in the country Vrancea wasn’t even aware of his ailment until Romanian doctors discovered a tiny plant growing from inside his nose. Causing no pain the plant had time to germinate and sprout leaves. Doctor Nicolae Moise, from County Hospital in Focsani, decided to inform Evenimentul Zilei newspaper. The doctors claimed to have extracted many things from children's noses and their ears but never have they found a living plant with leaves. Unbelievable!
Five day Shower Of Stones
Can stones fall from the sky? If so, where would they come from? Well in the year 1821 the “London Times” reported just that. In Truro, Cornwall, even the Mayor who visited the house was amazed by the noise from falling stones. And solving the mystery as to where they were coming, well, it was never solved. Even the military, baffled by this discovery was not able to determine their source. And believe it or not, it continued because five days later, they were still falling. Ouch!
Where do we go In The Afterlife?
Experts have claimed that when someone close to you dies, seeing their ghostly apparition is not as uncommon as one would believe. Parapsychologists claim that this ghostly image is their individual astral body which includes their life essence. According to experts apparitions are only a form of astral interaction between the dead and the living. However, this astral body soon moves to an alternate level of existence on the astral plane. Thus they are no longer visible in ghostly form. Believe that one!
Clothes Rise To The Occassion!
It was a regular day in Cupar, Scotland, the year, 1842. While hanging their clothes on a clothesline, the women were startled by this sudden explosion. Even more bizarre they stood there while their clothing rose up like balloons. Now in all actuality what goes up should come down right? So they waited for their clothes to return to the ground. However, they only retrieved some, while the rest simply ascended upwards until they disappeared.
Furthermore, the clothes were carried off to the north. Yet, the chimney smoke in the area proved that the wind was blowing to the south. Figure that one out. Not so funny when it’s your own clothes on the line.
Has Someone Seen Fairies?
Do you know any one who’s seen a fairy? A hard to believe tale but sited reports of a fairy began in 1985 in rural Argentina. Adults and children claimed to have seen what they called a “little black man,” with an estimated height of two and a half feet. With large eyes, a hairy body and long teeth the creature attempted to take a five-year-old child. Why, no one knows. But South American folklore about aggressive fairies state they are sometimes called “Negroes-of-the-Water.” And they are believed to dwell in rivers and lakes. So, do fairies exist? Maybe they do.
How do Puffer Fish Make Zombies?
The glands of the puffer fish of course contain poison. But in Hati, this poison is mixed with the powder for making Zombies, oh my, Zombies? Causing paralysis the person is still alive yet declared dead by a doctor. Even more bizarre is that this fish is actually eaten in Japan and is considered a delicacy. And challenging or rather resisting this poison, it’s relatively a tasty treat. What will they think of next?
Oldest and Largest Fungus
Now no plant, animal or human being can ever live this long. This startling and amazing discovery was made in the early 1990's by scientists. This giant like fungus was not only just fungus but consisted of mushrooms and tentacles knotted together to form it vast body. Crystal Falls, Michigan is where it was found suffocating thirty-eight acres of land. Born from a single spore researchers estimated that this bizarre fungus was at least 1500 years old. This is a truly incredible discovery.
Toad Soup Proves Unhealty
A trusting mother brews up deadly soup from toads believing in old tradition of eating exotic animals. Someone must have told her this was good for digestion because this is what this gullible mother believed. All four children became ill quickly but treating them at home failed. Family decided to rush them to nearby hospital where they succumbed to this bizarre poisoning. They lived in southern Guangdong province where the mother caught these toads. Xinhua News agency reported this case.
Of course an investigation was launched but it is unknown if charges were laid.
Please do not try this at home!

Goldfish still Growing; makes The Guiness Book
The proud owner and breeder of this rather large goldfish Jackie Chan had named him Bruce. With a body length of 15.7 inches this little fishy earned a place in the Guinness Book of Records, a proud fish he must be.
