New way to pull out a tooth

Robert Abercombie is a professional wrestler who became star performer on the YouTube recently. But its nothing to do with wrestling, its all about a bizarre method in dentistry.

He found a new way to extract his eight-year-old son's wobbly tooth.

According to the video which has a strapline of "tooth pulling never sounded so good" Abercombie is shown how he pulled out his son's tooth by using his Chevrolet.

He is seen tying a piece of string around his son's front tooth and instructing him to keep his head up. The other end of the string is tied to the back of his car.

He then asks his son, "are you ready". Abercombie then gets into his 426-horsepower sports car and hits the accelerator.

His son's head barely jerked as the tooth is whisked away. "It came out" says the boy grinning; his mother captures the entire video.

This bizarre video has become a viral hit with well over 100,000.


Pre-school for grownups

Are you aware that there is a child inside you? That may be why you sometimes behave like children in certain situations. Hence it is good to get to know and understand your inner child from time to time. If interested there is a pre-school for adults in Brooklyn which charges between 333 dollars and 999 dollars to allow you to act and behave like a child again.

At 'Preschool Mastermind', in New York, adults get to participate in show-and-tell, arts-and-crafts such as finger painting, games such as musical chairs, and even take naps! The month-long course also has class picture day where the adults are expected to dress like a four-year-old , a field trip, and a parent day when students get to bring two adults of their choice.

30-year-old Michelle Joni Lapidos, the brains behind the adult preschool, studied childhood education and has always wanted to be a preschool teacher. She's always on the lookout for new ways to get people in touch with the freedom of childhood - she had started a skipping club in Brooklyn in 2013, but a friend encouraged her to start the mastermind course instead.

And when she was giving another friend - who happens to be a preschool teacher - a foot rub, the idea for the entire project sort of fell into place. Soon, she formulated the plan for a month-long course with weekly classes, and invited her blogger friend Candice Kilpatrick to be her teaching assistant.


Dogs' last respects to the woman

Friends and family members who gathered to pay their last respects to a woman who recently passed away, were left stunned when they were joined by a pack of stray dogs who she had cared for.

Seventy-one-year-old Margarita Suarez of Merida. Yucatan, Mexico, passed away recently after a long standing illness.

Before her death Margarita had a well earned reputation as a friend of animals. Each day she would provide food for over 20 or so cats and dogs around her hometown. She was also known for taking a bag of food along when she went out so she could treat other strays she meets.

It wasn't until she passed away that her family learned just how much the dogs of Merida loved Margarita.

"My mother lived with me in Merida, Yucatan, but came to my sister's place in Cuernavaca, to restore her health," Margarita's daughter Patricia Urrutia said. "Unfortunately, this was not possible and she left us in less than 10 days", she added.


House built with 10,000 champagne bottles

You can say that 52-year old Hamdullah Ilchibaev of Chelyabinsk is bottled up in an architectural oddity which he calls his home.

This unique house built almost entirely with champagne bottles which is fondly referred to as "Palace Oz" is now a popular landmark in the area.

The idea for the house was not a random one - Hamidullah has always been interested in constructing things out of beer and vodka bottles. His children had always admired his work, and encouraged him to build a house someday. But he always thought it was impossible to do.

When Hamidullah lost his second son, who tragically passed away at age 18, he decided to finally build the house in the boy's memory. So he started the search for suitable materials. To construct the bizarre 99-square meter house, Hamidullah collected over 12,000 empty champagne bottles over the course of three years. Some he purchased at a ruble apiece, and others were donated by nearby restaurants.

"When I started to build, I hadn't even imagined that there are so many different kinds of bottles of champagne," he said. He discovered that the bottles not only varied in colour, but also quality.
