A Box of Kisses

Some time ago, a man punished his 3-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and he became infuriated when the child tried to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree.

Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, “This is for you, Daddy.” He was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found the box was empty.

He yelled at her, “Don’t you know that when you give someone a present, there’s supposed to be something inside it?”

In Iran, a man fell prey to the common trick of overpowering one's mind using superstition, manipulation and placing faith. A bogus conjurer wooed a man, encouraging his shortcuts of becoming rich by making him believe that with an enchantment of certain holy words he had vanished. Now, he could rob as much as he wants to satiate his greed.

Believing in the faux augurer, the man entered a bank to make his dreams come true. Presuming that people would wonder how things are being snatched, he started grabbing the money from the crowd ,although none of this happened and in fact people hold caught of the poor deceptive and handed him over to the Tehran police which is now searching for these escape artists.

The unfortunate burglar paid 5 million Rials which is approximately €290 or 390$ to the sorcerer and in return got certain spells to tie on his arm with a convention of going invisible and a conviction with free stay in jail. 

He told state-run newspaper Jam-e Jam: 'I made a mistake. I understand now what a big trick was played on me.'

Hope he does not try to get invisible in the clink now.

Did you know that there is a rare medical condition in which you can suddenly catch yourself in fire? Well as mysterious as it sounds, it is also a very rare and an unfortunate occurrence. This is the story of the Tamil Nadu baby, who was about a week old when it happened, who doctors fear suffers from this condition called spontaneous human combustion.

One afternoon when Rahul's mother was washing her daughter, she heard one of her neighbours shout "Your baby is on fire!", and at about the same time, she heard baby Rahul screaming inside the hut. She rushed inside the house and witnessed a sight she would never forget, she saw that her baby was literally on fire.

Rajeshwari, the mother of the baby, said to New York Times that the baby had flames on his belly and his right knee. Rajeshwari and her husband immediately rushed the baby into a hospital. To everyone's relief baby Rahul was treated at the hospital and made a full recovery, and the parents were very relieved that nothing worse happened. The couple hoped that this would never happen again, and returned home with baby Rahul. But oddly enough this bizarre event occurred again, not once, but three more times!

According to the couple, the last incident took place about a couple of months back, with the baby suffering from first and second-degree burns. These events have caused the family to even move out of the village, due to their neighbors fearing that the baby could start a serious fire. 

The couple then took the child to be examined at a hospital in Chennai, and the doctors feared the worse, Baby Rahul might be suffering from the rare condition called spontaneous human combustion.

PERSEID METEOR

This Perseid fireball meteor was observed in the skies over Chickamauga, Ga., on Aug. 11, 2013, at 2:14:49 a.m. EDT. It was also recorded by four other cameras in the NASA All Sky Fireball Network. 

The annual Perseid meteor shower peaks on Aug.11 and 12, 2013, filling the sky with streaks of light. The big meteor showers like the Perseids, and later the Leonids in November, are caused when Earth and its atmosphere travels through a region of the sky filled with left over debris lost by a particular comet. In the case of the Perseids, the small fragments were ripped off the tail of comet Swift-Tuttle, which orbits the sun once every 130 years.

CLONED HORSES CAN RACE, SAYS TEXAS COURT

A federal judge in Texas ruled on Monday the American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) must add cloned horses to their registry, thereby allowing the genetically enhanced horses to race alongside other horses. The AQHA is now the first American horse breeding group to register cloned animals. A pair of Texas ranchers brought the suit against the AQHA and claimed the association was running a monopoly by not allowing cloned animals to be listed and race, two lucrative businesses which the association oversees. A jury decided in favor of the ranchers in an Amarillo, TX court last month, but US District Judge Mary Lou Robinson only yesterday ordered an injunction which now forces the AQHA to change their guidelines. The association vowed to appeal the decision last month. Judge Robinson is expected to sign the official order later this week, and the injunction will go into effect 30 days later. “We’re thrilled. We’re just thrilled,” said Nancy Stone, the attorney representing the two Texas Ranchers in a statement to the Associated Press. “It is definitely time.” Though Judge Robinson sided in favor with the ranchers, she denied their request to have the AQHA pay their $900,000 attorney fees. “We are deeply disappointed by the outcome of this trial,”said Don Treadway, Jr., AQHA’s executive vice president, in a statement last month when the jury decided against them. “It continues to be our position that our rule prohibiting the registration of clones and their offspring is both reasonable and lawful.” In an updated statement, Treadway said the association would continue to “fight for its members’ rights” despite the latest ruling. For their part, the AQHA argued they are a private organization and therefore should be able to determine their own membership rules. Furthermore, the association claims the plaintiffs in the case have been unable to effectively prove the stipulations against cloning have created a monopoly on the quarter horse market and are inconsistent with the rest of their guidelines. Going beyond the monopoly argument, the plaintiffs claim the former ban on cloned animals is out of sync with the rest of the associations rules. Quarter horses which have been artificially inseminated, for example, are allowed to be included in the AQHA registry and therefore compete in races for large purses. This has been a common practice in the AQHA since 1960. The association’s registry currently holds 751,747 animals and is responsible for approving thousands of races every year. These races can win the horse owners large prizes. According to Reuters, the AQHA doled out some $131.5 million in prize money in 2012 alone. The specific cloning procedure in question in the trial is known as “Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer,” which is currently the most common means of cloning animals. This process involves taking a somatic cell from an animal – rather than a sperm or an egg – then taking the complete DNA from this cell. The genetic material is then transplanted into an egg cell, grafting the genes of another animal into a donor egg. This egg is then implanted into a surrogate mother. The AQHA and other opponents of this practice say it could provide an unfair advantage against other horses as well as introduce new diseases and ailments to the cloned animals. By Red Orbit
