For sheer fascinating stories, nothing beats the medical field.

In Colorado, a surgeon working to remove a tumor from a newborn's brain found a perfectly formed foot, the beginnings of another foot, a hand and a thigh.

But the surgeon's quote is the gem:

"To find a perfectly formed structure (like this) is extremely unique, unusual, borderline unheard of," he said.

Borderline unheard of?

In other news, it turns out there is no cure for a hangover.

I'm willing to try the "frying-up" method of curing a hangover at least a few more times before I discard the theory outright.

What about the person who got a face transplant? Maybe too creepy to contemplate???
