  2. One of the world's most glamorous women, Marilyn Monroe, was flatulent, dirty and ate in bed, it has been revealed in a new book.
    Portraits of her as the image of womanly perfection may hang on walls of admirers' homes all over the world. But when it came to personal hygiene, the Hollywood star's habits were a huge turn-off to her co-stars.

    Gable and Monroe appeared together in the 1961 movie 'The Misfits' which was written by the husband of Monroe, playwright Arthur Miller.

    It had always been Hollywood legend that the two co-stars had a torrid love affair together.

    This claim is rubbished in the book 'Clark Gable: Tormented Star' by author David Bret, to be published in the US in September 2007.

    Bret dismissed rumors of the affair as rubbish. While Gable was a lover of cleanliness, "she could not have been less fastidious regarding her personal hygiene."

    Bret says Monroe's interest in Gable was not returned, but was spurned by Gable, who was discouraged by her living habits.

    "Like Jean Harlow, she bleached all her pubic hair and never wore panties. She suffered from what today would be described as irritable bowel syndrome," Bret writes.

    Bret also claims: "She rarely bathed, slept in the nude and ate a lot in bed - shoving what was left on her plate under the sheets before going to sleep."

    The Misfits was both Monroe's and Gable's last movie that either Monroe or Gable worked on before they died. Gable died from a heart attack two weeks after shooting finished. Monroe's suicide followed a year later. The movie's third lead, Montgomery Clift, died from drug and alcohol abuse four years later.

    Miller and Monroe's marriage broke down during filming, and Monroe was turning more and more to prescription drugs and alcohol.

    Filming had to be stopped in August 1960 so she could be sent to hospital for detox. It was this instability, and the steamy scenes on set that led people to believe an affair might have taken place.

  3. A comatose man woke up after being asleep for 19 years, to find that his world had changed beyond all recognition.
    Polish railway worker Jan Grzebski lost consciousness in 1988 after being struck by a train. He suffered horrific injuries when his head was trapped between two carriages.

    He didn't come out of his coma until Sunday June 3 2007 when he opened his eyes to see his devoted wife Gertruda's face looking at him. She cared for him all through his coma.

    Mr. Grzebski was given only about two years to live after he slipped into unconsciousness in 1988 and doctors discovered he had a tumor on his brain.

    But he remained in good health due to the tireless efforts of his saintly wife Gertruda. She fed and washed her husband's motionless body every day and moved him every hour to prevent bedsore infections.

    Jan's doctor said she had "done the job of an entire intensive care team."

    Her devotion was rewarded when at 65 years of age Jan came out of his coma. He told members of his family he had vague memories of family gatherings and relatives talking to him, trying to provoke a response.

    But he woke up to an entirely different world to the one he remembered, and a Poland that was a far cry from the bleak communist country he was used to.

    "When I went into a coma there was only tea and vinegar in the shops," the wheelchair-bound Jan said. "Meat was rationed and there were huge petrol queues everywhere. Now I see people on the streets with mobile phones and there are so many goods in shops it makes my head spin"

    Just a year after Jan's accident, Poland shed its communist rule and the nation began its journey to becoming the westernised state it is today.

    TV ads and fashion are all new concepts for Jan. He is amazed at the colorful streets and the goods, and says the world is a much prettier place now.

    These are just some of the world events that he missed while he was sleeping:

    1989 - Soviet troops pull out of Afghanistan; Berlin wall comes down

    1990 - First digital mobile phone call

    1991 - First Gulf War

    1993 - Bill Clinton becomes US president

    1997 - Princess Diana dies in Paris crash

    2001 - September 11

    2003 - Second Gulf War; MySpace.com launched

    2005 - Pope John Paul II, a fellow countryman, dies

    The wife who never gave up on him said she cried and prayed a lot throughout the long and lonely coma years. "Those who came to see us kept asking, 'When is he going to die?' But he's not dead," Gertruda said.

    Delighted that her Ian has now rejoined the world, she added: "This is my reward for all the care, faith and love."

  4. Vampire bats really do drink blood. They feed on the blood of birds, cattle, horses, and pigs ... and the occasional sleeping human.

     

    They need to consume a few tablespoons of blood every day. If the vampire bat doesn't eat for more than a few days it will starve. They can only be found in Central and South America.

     

    Irish writer of horror tales Bram Stoker was so fascinated by these bats that drink blood, that he incorporated them in his book 'Dracula.'

     

    I was quite suprised....
