From the real-life Papa Smurf to an Indian Child the Super hands
This is a list of 10 people you won't believe actually exist
24 year old Michele Kobke made headlines in 2013 due to her tiny 16 inch waist
unlike many others in this video, who were born differently from other babies
she made a conscious choice to modify her body.
By sleeping in a corset every night for three years she reduced her
waist by 9 inches.
Even know her waist is actually smaller than most two year olds
she still wears tight corsets with the goal of slimming down by another two inches
A goal that doctors have warned against they warned her that if she
continues to do this the damage to her spine may prevent her from being able to stand up
and she already suffers from the blatant health problems that come
with having a stomach small
which sounds quite bad to us modern humans
but back in the Victorian era... she would have been the talk of the town!
Mandy Sellars in unique.
she suffers from a condition that has never been discovered in another human
she was born with legs twice the size of our babies and as she grew into adulthood
her legs and feet never stopped growing
to this day doctors are baffled by Mandy's genetics. In 2010 they were forced
to amputate one of her legs, but 22 months after the surgery
her leg started to grow back.
at this point the new leg weighs over 40 pounds
and shows
no signs that it will growing. What doctors do know about her condition is
that it belongs to a group of genetic mutations so rare that only
120 people are known to have ever had it
Kaleem is a young lad from India
at eight years old he has been rejected by
local schools after his hands grew far larger than human hands ever tend to
doctors in India have never seen anyone like Kaleem before
he reminds me of Many Sellars
especially considering that when he was born both his hands were twice
the size of regular babies. Since his early years his parents have wanted to
receive help for him but as he comes from a poor family there really isn't
much that can be done for him
but that's ok because he's actually perfectly healthy
his hands weigh 28 pounds and each measure 13 inches from palm
to fingertip. With his community now raising money for his medical care
the general consensus is that he can be effectively treated
Amoo Hadji lives in Iran and hasn't washed himself sixty years
no one has any idea why he has refused to bathe for so many decades
but I think it's fair to assume that he's completely mental
one of the few things he owns is a huge steel pipe
that he uses to smoke animal dung
But he is around 80 years old at this point so maybe inhaling animal excrement
is the secret to immortality
years of dirt and mud have coated his skin to the point
where he now looks more orc than man.
he is a lonely nomad who usually sleeps in a
tiny room that someone who feels sorry for him once built while drunk...
He seems happy though
Paul Karason became internet famous after his skin turned blue
and I know what you guys are thinking. How does this man have blue skin?
It all began when he was suffering from a brief period of skin problems
he decided that the best way to combat this problem was to rub a silver compound on his face
and it actually worked but at that time he had no idea that one of the side effects of
it would be his skin changing colour
To his horror the change was permanent and
he was soon given the nickname Papa Smurf; a nickname he has always hated
Wang Fang is a Chinese woman born with deformed feet
the defamation being her
feet having grown backwards. Which was followed by doctors warning her parents that
she may never walk.
Now aged 35 not only can she walk but she can run faster than
anyone she knows. She has a regular job as a waitress and lives a completely
normal life apart from having to wear shoes backwards.
to suit this she insists
that despite her deformity she is not disabled and to prove that she is not disabled
she once competed in the Paralympics
claudio Oliveira is a Brazilian man who was born of an upside-down head the
problem is that his neck is folded back on itself which forces him to see the
world from the top down. But his unique perspective seems to have helped him get
ahead in his chosen career as a motivational speaker for thirty
the 38 year-old has come a long way. When he was just a baby doctors tried to
convince his mother to stop feeding him, arguing that he could never survive
as a reaction to this his parents never took him back to the hospital
but now he flies all over the world to give speeches
it is unknown why he was born
deformed. But his legs are bent backwards and his hands are barely able to move so
he uses his mouth to do things instead
Niamh Geaney recently took part in a social experiment the aim of the
the aim of the experiment was to find someone who looks just like her within 28 days
and by use of social media they were successful
it would appear that Niamh has discovered
her doppelganger because Karen Brannigan looks just like her
after finding each other online they met in person and engaged in a long discussion
about what it was like to be the same person
no one knows how these two women
are basically the same person but it's probably because of God or Jesus or
something
With an 8 foot circumference Mikel Ruffinelli has the largest hips in the world
standing 5 foot 4, she claims to have the body all women envy
and that could be true for all I know
because I'm not sure if you can tell by my voice but I'm not actually a women
Mikel has four children from what I imagine with easy births
Carlos Rodriguez is known internationally as 'half-skull'
they say near-death experience would take something away from all of us
this was certainly true for Carlos when he lost half his head in a brutal car accident.
as you would expect he lost a significant part of his brain but he
can now function just as well as he could before the accident
he first gained attention when he was arrested by police for allegedly hiring prostitutes and his
mug shot went viral. He wouldn't tell the police his name so on paperwork they
simply referred to him as "half a head"
