Speaking of bizarre things! In most developed nations, you use toilet paper, but now there’s a product that is trying to make toilet paper obsolete. Welcome to your toilet the Comfort Wipe.
It’s touted as being a sure way to be clean hygienically. No longer is there that question of any fecal matter somehow getting on your fingers. It seems to be sensible, if it does all that the Comfort Wipe is purported to do.
Usually, a husband and wife know one another intimately before marriage, and soon (hopefully very soon) thereafter, the marriage is consummated. In India recently, however, a young couple are rather strange people, through no fault of the wife.
Usually, the couple know the gender of the spouse, but not in this short-term marriage. In August, 2011 Minati Khatua, 26, married her loving fiancé, Sitakant Routray , in Orissa, India.
A teenage girl from India who stands only 1ft 11in (58cm) tall, is the smallest girl in the world. Jyoti Amge, born in 1994, is shorter than a two-year-old child. She weighs only 11lb (5kg).
The facts are Amge has a type of dwarfism called achondroplasia and is at her tallest now. Jyoti has custom clothes and jewelry made for her. She sleeps in a tiny bed and uses special plates and utensils to eat. She goes to a regular school in Nagpur, central India, where she has her own small desk and chair. Her classmates treat her like any other student.
Lewis, Iowa, is one of the smallest towns in America, with a population of about 450, but has what may be the biggest bicycle in the world. It’s much bigger than the bike owned by Ukraine’s Leonid Stadnyk, who towers at 8’5’’ tall.
It must be the cold winters here that bring out the creativity in people from here to make something big. Of the bizarre things, Kool-Aid (AKA ghetto juice), which has gone big world-wide, was invented by a man born in this tiny town: Edwin Perkins.
