Hi Currenteers,
This Saturday's picks are........
First we have an article titled "One million beers later and its a unique Buddhist temple" (http://current.com/items/89572327/one_million_beers_later_and_its_a_unique_buddh...) from user Brian_Calvert about a Buddhist temple near the Cambodian border made from beer bottles. WOW! Did they drink all that? Haha, nah! The article says the bottles were donated from local communities. Check out the article to see what else in the temple is made out of beer bottles ;) --- Oh, and the pictures are super too!
Next, we have "Military Hospital In China Conducts Face Transplants" (http://current.com/items/89572751/military_hospital_in_china_conducts_face_trans...) an article from user nazbags. Did you also think of the movie "Face Off" when you read that title? Unlike the movie, however, the patients of these procedures are victims of accidents and attacks. In the past, there were partial face transplants, but China is attempting to perform the first full facial transplant. Warning, there is a video on the source site that is a bit graphic.
This last one seems like something from a movie, it's titled "Baby born 'pregnant'"(http://current.com/items/89570069/baby_born_pregnant.htm) from user nazbags. This one is totally weird. A baby in Saudi Arabia was born with a fetus -- its twin -- growing inside her. The mother was pregnant with two fetuses, but some how one of them ended up growing inside the other. This is the first time I've ever heard of something like this, but apparently, according to the comments, this is not something new. Check out the story and the comments and let us know if you've heard of anymore cases like this one.
Have a good weekend everyone!
