STORY TO BE TOLD

Japan sets new record for chicken wing eating contest

More than 17,000 mostly beer-fuelled spectators packed a Philadelphia indoor arena recently for the city's annual early morning eating extravaganza in which competitors vie to eat the most chicken wings.

Japanese champion Takeru Kobayashi, weighing just 57.6kg defeated his much larger opponents in the 20th annual Wing Bowl and walked away with a US$20,000 (RM60,000) prize after devouring a record-breaking 337 chicken wings during the 30-minute contest.

The competitive eater easily smashed the previous record of 255 wings set by Jonathan 'Super Squibb' Squibb, who had won the celebration of gluttony the previous three years, and defeated local favorite Bill 'El Wingador' Simmons, a five-time champion who weighs 150kg.

Girl, 9, gets six-organ transplant

A nine-year-old girl is making what doctors described as a remarkable recovery on Sunday, days after surgeons transplanted six of her organs in a groundbreaking medical procedure.

The surgery performed last Tuesday on young Alannah Shevenell, sought to remove an aggressive cancerous growth festering since 2008, and that had attacked her stomach, liver, pancreas, esophagus, small intestine and spleen.

The surgery was performed in Boston, Massachusetts at Children's Hospital, one of this nation's most highly regarded medical facilities.

"For just under 100 days Alannah and her grandmother have been staying at Children's while she received treatment for a rare and aggressive cancer that was compromising several of her internal organs," the hospital said in a statement.

Designer has surgeries to look like anime girl

A fashion designer in Singapore went under the knife 10 times, just to look like an anime girl with sparkling big eyes and a heart-shaped face.

The 29-year-old, known only as Jacqueline, spent S$136,000 (RM326,400) for plastic surgery and correction jobs after she failed to lose weight.

She had dieted and exercised for months to shed excess weight after putting on 6kg in 18 months about two years ago.

When there was no improvement, she decided not just to lose weight but also to revamp her entire look.

Jacqueline, who shared her surgical ex­perience in her blog, received hundreds of e-mails daily from netizens who sought her advice.

"I am not out for fame. I just want to help other women become pretty or even prettier than me," she said.

Virgin dad fathered 14 kids

A 36-year-old sperm donor admits to fathering 14 children despite never having had sex.

Trent Arsenault, an IT geek from San Francisco found a unique way to do charity with his bodily fluid after launching a website in 2006 offering free sperm donations to childless couples.

Discussing his public mission on Anderson Cooper chatshow, Arsenault explained: "I coined this term 'donor sexual' and I'll explain it means 100% of my sexual energy is for producing sperm for childless couples to have babies. So I don't have other activity outside of that.

"I will probably be the 40-year-old virgin. Except I'll have 15 plus kids."

On the show, he also met one of his biological children - a 23-month-old daughter named Analise, for the first time.

"I'm trying to not get too emotional," he said. "I'm just extremely happy that she's healthy and in a loving home. I hope she has the gene of compassion and that her parents nurture that."

According to US media, Arsenault was threatened with a one-year jail sentence and a fine of US$100,000 (RM300,000) last December after the FDA accused him of failing to prevent the spread of disease and found him to be unlawfully manufacturing human cells.
