Black cheeseburger anyone?

EVERY day we read something new and strange news from around the world and today we a food for people with a taste for the unusual. But wait a minute is it photoshoped or original? Well friends, this black burger is real and is being sold and eaten in Japan since the last two years!

Fast food restaurant, Burger King has been selling the Kuro Burger (black burger) since 2012, but the cheese layer is a whole new ingredient being unleashed in the current month.

So what makes it black? The black colouring comes from charcoal and is apparent in both the bun, and, as you can clearly see — the cheese. There’s also a squid ink, onion and garlic sauce to really top of the dark and pretty ghastly-looking creation. So are you planning a trip to Japan? Then don’t miss to have this black treat!

HERE is a monster vegetable and it doesn’t need an ordinary knife to chop it — perhaps an electric saw can do favour. Tony Glover, from Moira in Leicestershire, is the proud owner of an eye-watering 18lb 11oz mega-onion and has catapulted it into the Guinness Book of World Records, outdoing the previous record-holder by 10lbs.

According to the grower, “I give them a nitrogen-rich food and have to make sure the humidity is just right.”. Mr Glover says it took him nearly a year to grow the super-vegetable but he loves what he does.

M EET George — he’s a goldfish and has undergone surgery to remove a tumour from his brain.

George was said to be “really suffering” and was unable to swim or eat properly due to a large tumour hanging off his face. This lump of tumour was of course “affecting his quality of life”.

Then Dr Tristan Rich took on the case and the fish was admitted to Lort Smith Animal Hospital in North Melbourne, where Dr Rich said George could either be put to sleep or they could attempt the intricate surgical procedure. Luckily for George, who is 10 years old, his owner was said to be rather attached to him and opted for the £111 surgery.

George, who weighs about 80 grams, was put under a general anaesthetic and underwent a 45-minute operation to release him of his tumour. It took three buckets of water – one for the initial dose of anaesthetic, one with enough anaesthetic to keep him asleep during the operation (with a tube that flushed water over his gills) and a third full of oxygenated water for his recovery.

“It’s a very fiddly procedure, and you have to be very careful about blood loss,” Dr Rich told. He further said that if George is healthy he could live up to 30 years.

Good luck George!

NAOMI Elishuv, a violinist was forced to give up her career with the Lithuanian National Symphony Orchestra after being diagnosed with an essential tremor 20 years ago, causing her hands to tremble uncontrollably when she played her instrument.

But earlier this week, surgeons at the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Centre implanted a pacemaker in the area of Elishuv’s brain responsible for the tremors – and asked her to play during the procedure so they could assess the results.

“When we activated the stimulation in the exact location, we found that the tremor had disappeared and Elishuv continued to play Mozart – with great emotion, but without the tremor or side effects,” the hospital’s director of neurosurgery Yitzhak Fried told.

Deep brain stimulation – the surgery performed on Ms Elishuv – uses an electrode and simulator to block the nerve signals emitted from the part of the brain causing the essential tremor.
