Interview With Man Who Punched Shark to Save His Dog

Those of you who have kept up with my blog have probably read about the Florida man who punched a shark to save his dog. It's always so much better to hear the story straight from the mouth of the source. Here's the CBS video interview of this amazing story.

7 Foot Tall 12-Year-Old

Brenden Adams is only twelve years old, but he already towers high above most adults. He has a rare growing condition--so rare that doctors have never seen or heard of anyone like him. He is still growing at an alarming rate. When he was four months old, he had all his teeth. At age 4, he was about the size of an 8-year-old. Doctors were puzzled at what to do with him. Most people suffering from giantism simply are too big for their organs to handle and their bodies just wear out. Doctors have been working to find the cause and a cure for this rare disease.

Girl Survives 14 Story Fall Down a Chimney

Grace Bergere, a 12 year old girl from New York, was showing her cousin the view from the top of her apartment building. She climbed up a 25-foot chimney to get a better view, and promptly fell into the open hole. After falling 14 stories, she landed in a 2 foot deep pile of soot and ash. When rescuers reached the furnace, they feared the worst. But a hand reached out of the soot and Grace was pulled out relatively unhurt. She is now in the hospital recovering from an injured hip. Miraculously that's her only injury. We can thank New York's dirt and grime for saving the life of this girl.
