BANGKOK - Kesaraporn Duangsawan had all the makings of a beauty queen. She had style, grace and poise. However, she had one too many things...a penis. Duangsawan won $138 dollars in a Thai beauty contest, until organizers discovered the beauty queen was a man. The disgraced 22-year-old handed back the prize money five days after the annual Loy Krathong festival beauty pageant in the central Thai province of Ratchaburi. According to officials, she only asked to keepthe Miss Media runner-up sash as a memento.
In what they hope to be a record-making jump, the parents of four-year-old Toni Stadler pushed him out of a plane at 3,000 meters above South Africa. The family, from Essen, Germany, spend about nine months a year in Cape Town where Toni's father, Christian Stadler, works as a sports therapist. Both Christian and his wife are avid sky-divers, and when young Toni started asking if he could jump too, his mother couldn't refuse. The youngster was strapped to jump master Paul Lutge's chest in a tandem dive. They were in freefall for half a minute before opening the parachute.
KALAMAZOO, Michigan - Frank S. is the proud owner of a 1958 Edsel Corsair, which he has spent years restoring himself. However, this automobile's most unique feature, the rare teletouch transmission, is also it's most dangerous. Frank was about to take his dog, Buddy, to the store with him when he jumped out of the car to get something from the
house. As he walked around the front the dog stood up against the dashboard and hit the push button transmission, putting the car in drive and pinning Frank's legs between the bumper and garage door. He was trapped for at least twenty minutes until his wife came home and heard him yelling for help. Since the car was idling Frank was not seriously hurt, but the length of time he was trapped caused severe bruising on both legs. The dog is no longer allowed in the car.
SYDNEY, Australia - Fecal Transfusion studies are not just a "waste" of time. In Sydney, a paper on the subject is being published this week in a leading US gastroenterology journal. The theory is that the complex "zoo" of bacteria that inhabit the gut can be permanently disrupted, probably by the use of antibiotics. This delicate balance of healthy bacteria can be restored by introducing a healthy stool sample into the colon. According to director of the Center for Digestive Diseases at Five Dock in Sydney, Dr. Tom Borody, "Where people had long-term, otherwise incurable bowel conditions, they were generally happy to accept a stool donation, usually from a spouse or close family member." Many bowel diseases could have a bac-
terial component, though irritable bowel syndrome could often be improved by lifestyle changes, Dr. Watson added.
