World's first hand-woven Car, Nigeria: Artisan Ojo Obaniyi, who has made this car is a 40 year old man. His workshop is in Ibadan in southwest Nigeria. Don't think this car doesn't use fuel. It works like any other car. Nigerians use this fiber to make mats, baskets and other useful products.

An elderly Chinese woman has stunned her family and fellow villagers by growing from her forehead a horn than resembles a goat's, Daily Mail reported.

Grandmother Zhang Ruifang, 101, of Linlou village, Henan province, began developing the mysterious protrusion last year.

Since then it has grown 2.4in in length and another now appears to emerging on the other side of the mother of seven's forehead.

The condition has left her family baffled and worried.

Her youngest of six sons, Zhang Guozheng, 60, said when a patch of rough skin formed on her forehead last year 'we didn't pay too much attention to it'.

'But as time went on a horn grew out of her head and it is now 6cm long,' added Mr Zhang, whose eldest brother and sibling is 82 years old.

'Now something is also growing on the right side of her forehead. It's quite possible that it's another horn.'

Although, it is unknown what the protrusion is on Mrs Zhang's head, it resembles a cutaneous horn.

This is a funnel-shaped growth and although most are only a few millimetres in length, some can extend a number of inches from the skin.

Cutaneous horns are made up of compacted keratin, which is the same protein we have in our hair and nails, and forms horns, wool and feathers in animals.

They usually develop in fair-skinned elderly adults who have a history of significant sun exposure but it is extremely unusual to see it form protrusions of this size.

The growths are most common in elderly people, aged between 60 and the mid-70s. They can sometimes be cancerous but more than half of cases are benign.

Common underlying causes of cutaneous horns are common warts, skin cancer and actinic keratoses, patches of scaly skin that develop on skin exposed to the sun, such as your face, scalp or forearms.

Cutaneous horns can be removed surgically but this does not treat the underlying cause.

All four children of Mario and Angie Gaulin - Sarah (b. 15 September 1981), Christopher (b. 24 February 1983), Joshua (b. 25 October 1987) and Brendan (b. 13 July 1989) (all Canada) - were born with the rare genetic condition oculocutaneous albinism.

Three of the brothers are pictured above. Their father also has the condition and their mother carries the gene.

The Gaulin's share their record with the Sesler brothers from the USA.

Of the eight children born to George and Minnie Sesler (USA), the four eldest of their five sons were all born with the rare genetic condition albinism.

Identical twins John (b. 16 August 1921 - d. 18 October 1976) and George (b. 16 August 1921 - d. 28 February 1988), Kermit (b. 17 February 1923 - d. 6 January 2005) and Kenneth (b. 31 March 1924 - d. 12 February 1999) - were all born with translucent skin, pinkish-blue eyes and white hair.

Germany’s Largest Baby

In 2013, a baby weighing 6.1 kg (13.4 lbs) and measuring 57 cm (22 in) long was born naturally. Jasleen, a baby girl, was born at University Hospital in Leipzig, Germany on July 26, making her the country’s largest ever.

Jasleen’s mother was found to have an undiagnosed case of gestational diabetes, a condition which normally occurs around the 24th week of pregnancy and can lead to a larger-than-normal newborn.

Stephen Lyttle – Australia’s Largest Baby

Stephen Lyttle, who tipped the scales at 7.399 kg (16 lbs 5 oz) when born at Kempsey Hospital on January 26, 1963, is Australia’s heaviest. The average weight of an Australian baby is 3.37 kg.

Today, he is 50 years old and stands a relatively regular 1.86 meters and weighs a proportionate 97 kg.

Maxine Marin – Gave Birth to the Biggest Baby Girl in Spain

A 40-year-old British woman has given birth to the biggest baby ever born naturally in Spain – a girl weighing 6.2 kg (13.6 lbs). Maxime Marin delivered the baby at 4.43 am local time at the Hospital Marina Salud in the Mediterranean city of Denia, according to the hospital.

Larger babies are often delivered via Caesarean section, but Marin did not even need an epidural, a painkiller delivered into the spine during childbirth.

Marin, who lives in Spain with her partner from Colombia, said she knew that the baby would be big, “but not that big.”

George King – UK’s Largest Baby

The largest baby born in the United Kingdom was George King in 2013. The child weighed in at 15 pounds, 7 ounces, which is nearly twice the size of the average baby.

There was no indication that baby George would be this big; both of his parents were born at pretty regular sizes, and are not particularly big themselves.

Baby George’s size caused significant difficulties for his mother, Jade. Mid-way through the delivery – after baby George’s head had already popped out – he became stuck. His relatively giant size for a newborn meant that he simply was struggling to get his shoulders out.

According to Jade, “that’s when things got scary,” as about twenty medical staff ended up in the room working on freeing the baby. He was eventually delivered successfully and transferred to another hospital for specialist care.

A mother (97 years old) in China, feeding and taking care of her paralysed son (60 years old) everyday for more than 19 years. A reminder of the amazing spirit of human compassion and more importantly, motherly love.

Chinese hairdresser Huang Xin works on his latest creation, a replica of US President Barack Obama made from human hair, at his barbershop in Beijing.

To celebrate President Barack Obama‘s visit to China, Huang Xin, a talented hairdresser, created a small sculpture of the US head of state from human hair.

Ziona Chana is the head of the world’s largest family, according to the Reuters.He has 39 wives, 91 children, 33 grandchildren, and 14 daughters-in-law. The Ziona family in its entirety with all 181 members.He even married ten women in one year, when he was at his most prolific, and enjoys his own double bed while his wives have to make do with communal dormitories.

Liew Thow Lin, a 70-year-old retired contractor in Malaysia, recently made news for pulling a car twenty meters along a level surface by means of an iron chain hooked to an iron plate on his midriff. He says that he discovered he had the amazing ability to make objects stick "magnetically" to his skin, and now he's added car-pulling to his repertoire. After reading an article about a family in Taiwan who possessed such power, he says he took several iron objects and put them on his abdomen, and to his surprise, all the objects including an iron, stuck on his skin and didn't fall down. Since this "gift'' is also present in three of his sons and two grandchildren, he figures it's hereditary.

Ben Underwoodtaught is blind, both of his eyes were removed (cancer) when he was 3. Yet, he plays basketball, rides on a bicycle, and lives a quite normal life. He taught himself to use echo location to navigate around the world. With no guide-dogs, he doesn't even need hands: he uses sound. Ben makes a short click sound that bounces back from objects. Amazingly, his ears pick up the ecos to let him know where the objects are. He's the only person in the world who sees using nothing but eco location, like a sonar or a dolphin.

Dede Koswara was born healthy. But at age 10 – after he fell and scraped his knee in the forests of Indonesia – small warts sprouted around the wound. Slowly, they spread to his feet and hands.

For years, he watched helplessly as his limbs broke out in a swath of grotesque bark-like warts that sapped his energy and limited his mobility. Now he shuffles along on blackened, bloated feet – a prisoner of his own mutinous body.

At one point, he seemed to sprout contorted yellow-brown branches 3 feet long. Koswara, it appeared, was becoming half-plant — turning into the verdant green jungle around him.

His mysterious ailment cost him his marriage, career and independence. He was forced by his poverty to join a traveling freak show, billed as the Tree Man of Java.

He suffers from a double whammy: the common human papillomavirus, a condition that usually causes small warts in sufferers; but also a rare immune deficiency that allowed these lesions to run wild. Last year, Indonesian surgeons used an electric saw to cut off 13 pounds of warts and decaying matter. But it all grew back again.

Do You Know that every year tourists throw approximately 1.1 million Euro into the Trevi Fountain in rome. The city uses them to fund a supermarket for needy.

In 1930, a newsman in The Pas, Manitoba, reported in a small Inuit village right off of Lake Angikuni. The village had always welcomed the fur trappers who passed through occasionally. But in 1930 Joe Labelle, a fur trapper well known in the village, found that all the villagers had gone. He found unfinished shirts that still had needles in them and food hanging over fire pits and therefore concluded that the villagers had left suddenly. Even more disturbing, he found seven sled dogs dead from starvation and a grave that had been dug up. Labelle knew that an animal could not have been responsible because the stones circling the grave were undisturbed. He reported this to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, who conducted a search for the missing people; no one was ever found.

Antonio was left deformed and brain-damaged after a security guard bashed in his skull, leaving him unconscious, in April 2010 during a bar fight at La Barra Latina in Torrance.

Doctors were forced to remove 25% of his skull and brain.

He is no longer capable of speaking, needs assistance walking and requires 24-hour care to survive.

After attempting to break up a fight between a bartender, a security guard and two of his relatives beat Antonio with a baton, smashed his skull against the pavement and kicked him in the head eight times.

This damage award is the largest ever given to a single person in the state of California. The damage award against the security firm will compensate for victim’s future medical expenses, future pain and suffering and past pain and suffering.

Unfortunately, the guard and the bartender who started the fight disappeared before the civil trial and have not been charged. Police assert that there weren’t enough independent witnesses to charge them.

Local farmer Shu Mansheng hovers above the ground in his self-designed and homemade flying device during a test flight in front of his house in Dashu village on the outskirts of Wuhan, Hubei province September 21, 2011. The round steel flying device, which cost more than 20,000 yuan ($3,135), is the fifth model made by Shu, a junior middle school graduate. It measures around 5.5 meters (18 feet) in diameter, and is powered by eight motorcycle engines. Shu managed to hover for 10 seconds at about 1 metre (3.3 feet) above ground during a recent test flight.

Sun Jifa moves a brick as he works to build his new house in Yong Ji county, Jilin province, September 25, 2012. Chinese farmer Sun, who lost his forearms in a dynamite fishing accident 32 years ago, could not afford to buy prosthesis. He spent two years guiding his two nephews to build him prosthesis from scrap metal, plastic and rubber. Over the years, Sun and his nephews have built about 300 prosthetic limbs for people in need, charging 3000 RMB ($476) each. Picture taken September 25, 2012.

If you're watching "The Walking Dead" or "World War Z," the idea is to get rid of all the zombies.

But if you're the New Jersey Zombie Walk, the idea is actually to bring in as many as possible.

That's because, for the second time in three years this weekend, the Central Jersey group took the Guinness World Records crown for the largest gathering of zombies. The final count of the record-breaking undead numbered a massive 9,592 shufflers down the famous Asbury Park boardwalk.

As one of the more popular records in the GWR database, the largest gathering of zombies has grown even more hotly contested in recent years, with the rising popularity of the genre. New Jersey Zombie Walk originally broke the record with 4,093 zombies in October 2010. After losing it to a number of 8,027 in October of last year, the Jersey undead came out in droves to top the record by more than 1,500.

"It's pretty amazing (to have our title back)," said Jason Meehan, creator/director of the New Jersey Zombie Walk. "It's really just the fans that drive this event showing how much they love it, how much they come back in bigger numbers every year. It's remarkable to say that we're one of the greatest events of our kind in the world."

More than just attempting a record, one of the stated goals of the attempt was to demonstrate that the Jersey Shore could still thrive in its ongoing recovery march from Superstorm Sandy, which devasted the region a year earlier.

With signs draped up and down the boardwalk claiming that the "Jersey Shore Lives!" while another world record fell, the mission was more than accomplished.

"This is an amazing event," said Jackie Pappas, executive director of the Asbury Park Chamber of Commerce. "It's near and dear to the hearts of everyone. We wanted to show everyone that the Jersey Shore lives and we couldn't think of a better way to do that than with almost 10,000 zombies."
