Some Nose None the Better

Michael Jackson's nose was missing as he lay in state.

An eyewitness claims he saw the 'Beat It' singer's body on an autopsy table of a Los Angeles morgue with part of his face completely disappeared.

The witness said: 'The prosthesis he normally attached to his damaged nose was missing, revealing bits of cartilage surrounding a small dark hole.'

Jackson - who died a month ago today of a suspected cardiac arrest - was believed to have had a number of surgical operations change the shape of his nose, which eventually eroded it away. He was also thought to be obsessed with plastic surgery and altering his appearance.

The witness added: 'Jackson's face - which he had so painfully reworked and concealed from the public for decades now - lay out in the open undisguised under the harsh lights.'

One of the 'King Of Pop's former housekeepers has previously told how the singer kept a number of false noses, which he applied using plasters and glue.

Adrian McManus said: 'In his closet he had a jar of fake noses and stage glue, which he told me he used for disguises. But some were similar to his real nose, just without the hole.'

Reasons for Jackson's fascination with surgery are unclear, though he has hinted it was because he was bullied as a child. Other sources said he was desperate not to look like his father, Joe Jackson, whom he had accused of hitting him as a youngster and aking fun of his appearance. ~MSN


Q

Burn in Hell

My heart bleeds. Drink up baby.. drink up. Very parched you must be. Very lucky you are...

Volunteer firefighter David Tree shares his water with an injured Australian Koala in a charred forest near Mirboo North, in the state of Victoria, after days of fierce wildfires.

The Wildfires that have raged on for the longest time had claimed nearly 200 human lives and countless wildlife.

The worst part is that it's the suspected job of arsonists who torched not once but a chain of incidences.

What could possibly induce such rage and cruelty?

Even terrorism , however warped, has its reasonings behind them.

It burns my heart to observe the aftermath.

I pray for strength of will for those who survive.

Q :(:::

Death is Perhaps the only Remise

Beautiful 20-year-old Mariana Bridi da Costa passed away, CNN reports.

- Unfortunately Mari couldn't resist any longer.

She passed away at 3 a.m. today - said Henrique Fontes, director of Miss World Brazil.

The model`s death was also confirmed by Renato Lindgren, a friend of Mariana`s who took care of her blog. He wrote that he was on his way to the hospital with a friend.

- On behalf of all the family, we are grateful for the support and the affection that the entire world has sent to us – Lindgren wrote.

Mariana, who was supposed to have represented Brazil at the Miss World beauty pageant was diagnosed with a urinary infection and the doctors had to amputate both of her hands and feet in order to save her vital organs. A difficult infection caused septicaemia, which clogged her veins and cut off circulation.

Mariana was admitted at the Intensive Care Unit of the Brazilian Doria Silva hospital. After she had her hands and feet amputated on Tuesday, Mariana has to have additional surgery on Wednesday, urgently.

Mariana`s boyfriend Thiago Simoes said that she fell ill in December, but was misdiagnosed with kidney stones. It is only after additional tests that it was determined she was infected with the Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria.

Q .... life would have been hell if she survived this .

PS: Perhaps death was god's grace to save her most beautiful memories to last a life time and for all eternity for those who love and care for her.

Life is unpredictable even for the most beautiful.

My Doggy Lies over the Ocean ....

... my doggy lies over the sea...

My dear Bull Terrier, the late Foxxxy Cleopatra. Passed away early this year. A chapter of a beautiful life closed.



Her mannerisms. Her charm.
Dearly missed. And I'd give anything in this world just to sea her one last time.

Meet Genibo, the Robotic Bull Terrier.

The Korean scientists came up with this when Sony axed the Aibo.

Advanced and responsive.


All the perks (almost) and none of the fur , food, bath , poo , sickness and death to deal with.

Still, I'd give anything to have Foxxxy back.

Q ... the attention and love only a living creature could give.
