Ripley's Believe It or Not! When a construction worker severed an arm in an accident in Eisenstadt, Austria, in May 2013, he drove himself to the hospital -- taking the arm with him! The leaf fish of South America is so-called because it looks exactly like a dead leaf drifting in the water. Louie Sulcer, 71, from Woodstock, GA., received a personal phone call from Steve Jobs and a $10,000 gift card after buying the 10 billionth track downloaded from iTunes in 2010!

That Austrian is quite a lucky son of a gun. I wonder how he is now since the event took place four months ago.

Well, why would you think it was called a “leaf fish”?
It would be a pretty stupid name, if it looked like a butterfly or a horse or something.
Sheesh.

My Uncle woke up early one morning and left a note saying he was going to the hospital. Didn’t say which one, why or anything. His son and 2 grandsons, all drivers, were asleep down the hall and there were several neighbors who would all have been willing to drive him but he told nobody. .When we finally found him, at a hospital close to 10 miles away not the local one, he had a heart attack. Drove himself to the hospital in the middle of a heart attack. First thing my mother did, when she walked into his hospital room, is slap him. He’s the Baby Brother BTW. =)
