I've seen his name pop up suddenly like half-a-dozen times in the last week, after not hearing about him for seemingly 10 years. Does he have a book coming out? Running for office?

The US scientists who created the first living robots say the life forms, known as xenobots, can now reproduce -- and in a way not seen in plants and animals. Formed from the stem cells of the African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis) from which it takes its name, xenobots are less than a millimeter (0.04 inches) wide. The tiny blobs were first unveiled in 2020 after experiments showed that they could move, work together in groups and self-heal.

Nicholas Alahverdian, an American fugitive who used multiple aliases and faked his own death to avoid fraud and sexual assault charges in Utah and Ohio, has been found alive in Scotland, police told The Providence Journal on Wednesday.

"He was located in Scotland about a month ago, where he was on a ventilator," Rhode Island State Police Maj. Robert A. Creamer told the publication, which also reports Alahverdian was in the hospital with COVID-19.

7 Men Arrested After Castrations Streamed Online
Quote:

Seven men have been arrested in north London as part of a probe into castrations broadcast live on a pay-per-view channel.

An investigation into a subculture known as “nullos” – people who endorse castration, or “genital nullification” – led to the raid in Finsbury Park, where police spent three days searching the basement flat.

A 44-year-old Norwegian man living at the address was held on suspicion of conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm. According to The Sun, he describes himself as “The Eunuch Maker” and runs a film production company. He is understood to have been castrated himself.
Quote:

One of the most famous nullos is Japanese artist Mao Sugiyama, who removed his genitals before cooking and served them garnished with mushrooms and parsley for paying guests. Cannibalism is not illegal in Japan.

Scientists working to unravel mystery of 300-year-old mummified ‘mermaid’ with ‘human face’ and tail
Quote:

A mummified “mermaid” said to grant immortality to whoever tastes its flesh will be probed by scientists in order to reveal its true nature.

The mysterious 12-inch creature was allegedly caught in the Pacific Ocean, off the Japanese island of Shikoku, between 1736 and 1741, and is now kept in a temple in the city of Asakuchi.

With a grimacing face, pointed teeth, two hands, and hair on its head and brow, it has an eerily human appearance – except for its fish-like lower half.

from some espn article

15.03 BST: Brazilian defender Marcelo was dropped from the Lyon first team due to continuous farting and laughing in the dressing room, sources have told ESPN.

As ESPN reported in August, the 34-year-old was expelled from the senior squad following Lyon's 3-0 defeat at the hands of Angers.

Marcelo was caught laughing during captain Leo Dubois' speech to rally the troops following the game, which didn't go down well with manager Peter Bosz and sporting director Juninho.

However, according to sources, Marcelo was also disciplined by the club for repeatedly farting among his teammates in the dressing room and laughing in the presence of Juninho and Bosz.
