Mysterious tree with fruits in shape of a WOMAN found in Thailand

A strange tree growing in Thailand appears to bear fruit in the exact shape of a young woman - and it's baffling the internet.
But while many are amazed by the shape of the green fruits , others are less convinced by the confusing footage.
In Buddhist mythology , a tree known as the Nariphon bears the fruit of young female creatures and is said to grow in the mythical forest called Himaphan.
The story goes that Buddhist God Indra a home in the forest for his wife Vessantara and his two children.
But when Vessantara went out into the forest to collect food, she was in danger of being attacked by terrifying male creatures.
Indra then created 12 special Nariphon trees which would bear fruit in his wife's image to distract the creatures while she picked her own food.
The men would take these fruits back to their homes and after making love to them would sleep for four months, and lose their powers.
According to Thai folklore, after Indra and his wife died, the trees continued to bear fruit.
There are rumoured to be two Nariphon pods in a Buddhist temple near Bangkok.
Gifts inspired by the Nariphon girls are now sold widely throughout Thailand, leading to many hoaxes.

Man suffering from a rare medical condition- has arm weighing 44lbs that won't stop growing

The affliction means Bablu Pashi is in enormous pain and everyday tasks such as washing are immensely difficult.
The 25-year-old from Allahabad in India suffers from gigantism , a disease that causes excessive growth of body tissue.
It means he can only walk for 10 minutes without taking a break because his 3st 1lb arm is so heavy - twice the weight of a dachshund.
“I’ve been this way since I was born. As I got older my hand kept growing and growing,” Bablu said.
“The weight of my arm is 20 kilos [44lbs] and while washing it up it starts to hurt.
"I am not able to walk. I walk for 10 minutes and then for 10 minutes I have to rest. These are the difficulties I face.”
As a young man Bablu faced severe abuse in his home town and was cruelly dubbed a “devil child” by his neighbours.
He moved to Mumbai to seek proper treatment, but has struggled to find work in the city and continues to face prejudice on a daily basis.
He said: "I came to Mumbai so that I can work here and earn for myself. I also want a proper treatment so that I can look for a job.”
But his condition has made it extremely difficult for him to find a paid position, with potential employers frightened of his abnormally large limb.
Bablu said: “No one wants to help me in this city. If I go to some shop for work, they beat me and ask me to leave. They don’t even let me in.
"I don’t even have the money to buy food for myself - I don’t have anybody to help me.”
And his arm has also prevented him from finding a wife or fulfilling his dream of having children.
He said: "Women notice me but they turn a blind eye or walk far away from me. Why would they even talk to me? They see my condition and they prefer to stay away.
“If my arm was normal, I would have been living with my family. I would have my own family and kids. I would have married like others do.”
Doctor RL Gangrade, who had a consultation with Bablu, said: “It’s a genetic disorder. Right now it's developed. He needs a plastic surgeon who will take care of his condition.
“Staying in hospital for so long under observation and reconstructing the arm is a very lengthy process.
"I would like to say that he should get some government help for his big arm. He should get a handicap certificate.

“It is going to be really difficult if you will ask him to survive with only one arm.
However, the cost of the surgery could be as much as £15,000 - far beyond Bablu’s scope, as he is currently forced to live on the streets as a beggar.
Bablu wants to go home once his arm becomes normal so that he can live a life like others.

UK youngest airline pilot: 19 years old teenage boy qualifies as airline pilot

Luke Elsworth is taking the helm in passenger jets at age 19 - just two years after he was allowed a driver’s licence.
Luke was offered a job with easyJet after taking one of the fastest possible routes to becoming qualified.
He enrolled in the airline’s pilot training programme at CTC Aviation in Southampton almost as soon as they would accept him - just nine days after his 18th birthday.
He completed the course - which included six months on simulators and a stint flying light aircraft in Arizona, USA - in 18 months and he was appointed as a first officer for easyJet in April.
He holds a Multi-Crew Pilot Licence and is the youngest airline pilot in the UK, according to Civil Aviation Authority records.
Asked whether he felt it was appropriate for someone of his age to fly passenger jets, Luke replied: “I don’t see why not.I really want to encourage more younger people to get into it.
“If you’re good enough to be there, you’ve done the training and you’re suited towards it then I don’t think age really has an impact.”
He insisted he has not noticed any worried looks from passengers when they see him enter the cockpit.
“I’ve not had anything,” he said. “If there was a train driver that was 18 and he’d been through all the training I’d have complete trust in him. I wouldn’t bat an eyelid.”
Luke, who grew up near Warrington, Cheshire and is now based at London Gatwick, described his first flight - from Gatwick to Toulouse in the south of France - as “incredible”.
He added: “Maybe I sacrificed going to university. On your days off you might not be going to the pub and drinking loads, but you can still go out and have fun.
“It’s not as if you’re constrained to being inside all day revising. You do get the opportunity to relax. I don’t feel like I’m missing out.”
Luke flies Airbus A319 and A320 planes.
His next step is to become a captain - although despite his rapid progression that does not normally happen for at least eight years.

Zara Holland is keeping her Miss Great Britain crown after been stripped off title

Zara Holland is keeping her Miss Great Britain crown.
The Love Island beauty was dramatically stripped of her title after she broke the rules by having sex on the ITV2 reality show .
However, the organisation behind the annual beauty pageant is allowing her to keep the sparkling tiara she was originally presented with.
Speaking on Fubar Radio, she revealed: "I still have my crown, I don’t have to give it back. I was thinking I should auction it off!"
Love Island fans were so upset when Zara lost her title that they launched a petition to get it reinstated.
As of writing, more than 20,000 people has signed the Change.org campaign titled "Give Zara Holland her Miss GB title back".
The decision of her de-crowning sparked fierce debate and the petition appears to have been set up in response by fan Dell Bennett, who said: "As you are aware Zara Holland is Miss Great Britain and is on a reality TV show called Love Island, she is there to find love and it is not working out as much as she hoped.
"Recently Zara had a fumble which was aired on the show and now unfortunately this has cost her the title of Miss Great Britain. I think it is a harsh punishment stripping her of her title for a silly little mistake and for only being human.
"I am aware that having a title like that comes with responsibilities and I for one think she has been absolutely amazing, she has shown she is a strong positive person, we have to remember she is still a young lady and what happened was only natural. I think she should be given a second chance as Miss Great Britain!"
Those supporting the petition include TV personality Anthea Turner and reality TV star Jasmine Lennard, who said in a tweet sharing the link: "This should probably be signed..."

Jennifer Aniston goes bra-less in simple black dress

Jennifer Aniston went for a less-is-more approach to her style this week - and she definitely pulled it off.
The glamorous actress stepped out in New York on Thursday wearing a flowing, simple black dress as she went for a more understated look.
However, the gown was perhaps a bit more revealing than the former Friends star had planned, as it became very obvious she'd decided against wearing a bra to go with the sleeveless ensemble during her down out in Manhattan.
The knee length dress itself was quite conservative, with a high neck adding to the more classy image.
Keeping jewellery to a minimum, Jennifer completed the outfit with a towering pair of strapped heels.

Charlotte Dawson suffers wardrobe malfunction in slashed dress as she barely wear underwear

Charlotte Dawson found out last night that no underwear and a barely there dress are a lethal combination as the reality TV star flashed everything for the cameras.
The Ex On The Beach star, who isn't exactly known for her demure dressing, headed out in Manchester in a delicate aqua blue dress that was slashed to her naval and contained a thigh high split.
While she did attempt to keep her modesty covered up as she battled the windy weather, Charlotte didn't do a great job and managed to flash her nipples and private parts as she headed home.
Despite desperately pulling her dress over her crotch, the star still somehow managed to pull her dress aside at one point, giving onlookers an eyeful.
It wasn't just her lower regions either, with the cleavage flashing top half of the dress gaping open to expose her breasts.
Oh dear, maybe next time underwear would be the answer.
Charlotte was joined by Love Island star Jessica Hayes at Milton Club for the night out at Milton club, where the duo were judging Swimsuit USA.
In that outfit though, we're guessing the star stole the show.
