Birthday girl hides after 1,500 Facebook users turn up for party
A German teenager fled from her own birthday party after more than
1,500 guests turned up, shortly followed by 100 police officers.
The girl, identified only as Thessa, went into hiding after
forgetting to set her party as 'private' on Facebook meaning she got a
lot more than she bargained for.
Eleven people were temporarily detained by officers and one policeman
was injured.
Despite public announcements across the city that the party had been
cancelled, 1,500 teens and young adults still turned up on the street in
front of Thessa's home.
Mr Streiber said: 'We had cordoned off the house, some 100 police
were on the ground, four of them on horses - but that did not keep the
kids from celebrating.'
Some of the party-goers held signs asking 'Where is Thessa?' chanting
'Thessa, celebrating a birthday is not a crime', while others brought
birthday presents and home-made cupcakes.
One police officer was slightly injured when he tried to stop a party
reveller from breaking the Mercedes-Benz logo from his patrol car.
Thessa, however, was nowhere to be seen and police confirmed she 'was
not at home that night' and she is believed to have celebrated quietly
at her grandparents' house.
Now transplating of heads!
If you are having problems in your head such as some screws loosened,
there is hope for you.
You can transplant your head and get a new one!
You might wonder what this news is and may think it may be a scene
from a horror film where Dr, Frankenstein creates a monster by
transplanting components from human bodies including the brain.
But this is for real as Doctor Sergio Canavero of the Turin Advanced
Meuromodulation Group outlines a medical procedure which he says will
successfully connect a brain to a spinal chord.
Writing in the Surgical Neurology International Journal he says "It
is my contention that the technology only now exists for such linkage".
And according to Dr. Canavero this operation would cost about 15
million dollars.
Dr Canavero says his procedure is derived from successful head
transplants of animals from experiments dating back to the 1970s.
The head of a rhesus monkey was transplanted to the body of another
in 1970 in an experimental procedure.
The head was quickly cooled to about 12C and transferred to a chilled
new body.
Once the head was reconnected to the circulatory system, the body's
heart was restarted and work initiated to connect the nervous system. Dr
Canavero also says that a "clean cut" by an ultra-sharp cutting
implement was the key to success as it would allow the severed nerve
cells to fuse with each other.
Recently, scientists at Case Western Reserve University proved they
could now restore some neural connectivity in the spinal cords of rats.
Perhaps all those people who have had their heads cryogenically
frozen weren't out of their minds after all.
Any way just forget the cost and be happy that you are getting a new
head and a brand new life for that matter!
