Abigail Loraine Hensel and Brittany Lee Hensel (born March 7, 1990) are dicephalic parapagus twins, i.e., they are conjoined twins of whom each has a separate head, but whose bodies are joined. They are highly symmetric, giving the appearance of having just a single body with little variation from normal proportion. In fact, several vital organs are doubled up; each twin has a separate heart, stomach, spine, and spinal cord. .. Source – WikiPedia
There are compromises that have to be made — Abby controls the right side of the body and Brittany the left — but they move with remarkable ease, riding a bike, dancing at parties and even driving a car.
When the twins were born in 1990, their parents were told the babies might not survive the night. But by age 6, they were appearing on “Oprah” and the cover of Life magazine.
They have drivers’ licenses. The girls had to take separate driving tests to get separate licenses even though they both have to work together to operate the car!
Though they don’t discuss their dating lives, both girls hope to get married one day, and because their shared reproductive organs are healthy, there is no medical reason why they wouldn’t be able to have a successful pregnancy.
Jyoti Amge, the world’s shortest woman from India & Chandra Bahadur Dangi, the world’s shortest man met for the first time to celebrate the organization which made them famous.
The 18-year-old from India and the 72-year-old Nepalese both made headlines last winter when they were given their titles by the Guinness World Records.
Chandra Bahadur Dangi and Jyoti Amge were born 54 years and hundreds of miles apart in different countries, but it was their height that brought them together. Dangi, the world’s shortest male, and Amge, the world’s shortest female, met for the first time earlier this year with a little help from Guinness World Records.
Jytoi Amge is 18 years old & 2 ft in height & Chandra Bahadur Dangi is 72 years old & 1 ft 11.6 inch in height. They are smiling next to a man of normal height.
Jyoti Amge
Jyoti Amge, who lives in Nagpur, India, was named the shortest living woman at 24.7 inches on Dec. 16, 2011, just after turning 18. The young woman’s stature seems to have had no effect on the size of her dreams; she has said she hopes to become a successful Bollywood actress.
Chandra Bahadur Dangi
Chandra Bahadur Dangi, 72, stands at 21.5 inches tall and was crowned the shortest man in Guinness’ 57-year history in February. Prior to the announcement, the record-holder had never ventured far from his remote village of Rhimkholi, Nepal.
Superheroes were originally created out of thin air to inspire mankind. Thus, arrived Batman and Spiderman ! But , these are real super – heroes with real powers ! Freaky and unbelievable – Most Amazing People & also most inspirational.
Nick Vujicic
Imagine being born without arms. No arms to wrap around someone, no hands to experience touch, or to hold another hand with. Or what about being born without legs? Having no ability todance, walk, run, or even stand on two feet. Now put both of those scenarios together: no arms and no legs. What would you do? How would that effect your everyday life?
Meet Nick Vujicic… Born in 1982 in Melbourne, Australia, without any medical explanation or warning, Nicholas Vujicic (pronounced Voy-a-chich) came into the world with neither arms nor legs.
Despite the absence of limbs, he is doing surf and swimming, and playing golf and soccer. Nick graduated from college at the age of 21 with a double major in Accounting and Financial Planning. He began his travels as a motivational speaker, focusing on the topics that today’s teenagers face.
Rathakrishnan Velu is considered to have “Golden mouth” as he is able to pull a train with his teeth. It is reported that Rathakrishnan Velu can haul a 297.1-metric-ton (327.50 U.S. tons) train over 2.8 meters (9 feet, 2.2 inches) along tracks.
On August 30, 2007, the eve of Malaysia’s 50th Independence Day, Rathakrishnan Velu (or Raja Gigi, as he is known locally) broke his own world record for pulling train with his teeth, this time with 6 coaches attached weighing 297.1 tons over a distance of 2.8 metres at the Old Kuala Lumpur Railway Station.
Jessica Cox
Jessica Cox became the first pilot with no arms, proving you don’t need ‘wings’ to fly.
Jessica believes that by combining creativity,persistence, and fearlessness, nothing is impossible..She is a psychology graduate can write ,use computers,brush her hair and talk on to her phone simply using her feet.She is from USA is also a former dancer and double black belt in Tai Kown-Do. Cox prove it Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
Ben Underwood – The boy who could “see” with his ears
Ben Underwood was a remarkable teenager, who loved to skateboard, ride his bicycle and play football and basketball. For the most part, the Californian 14-year-old was just like other kids his age. What made Underwood remarkable was his ability to master these activities despite the fact that he was blind.
Underwood had both eyes removed after being diagnosed with retinal cancer at age two. To most people’s amazement upon meeting him, he seemed completely unfazed by his lack of sight, defying common stereotypes about blindness as a disability.
An unflinching faith in God guided Ben and his mother during his last few months as cancer spread to Ben’s brain and spine. He eventually died on January 2009 at the age of 16.
The Magnetic Man (Liew Thow Lin)
Liew Thow Lin, a 70-year-old retired contractor in Malaysia, recently made news for pulling a car twenty meters along a level surface by means of an iron chain hooked to an iron plate on his midriff. He says that he discovered he had the amazing ability to make objects stick “magnetically” to his skin, and now he’s added car-pulling to his repertoire.
After reading an article about a family in Taiwan who possessed such power, he says he took several iron objects and put them on his abdomen, and to his surprise, all the objects including an iron, stuck on his skin and didn’t fall down.
