Biggest Booger in the world pulled out of a man's nose

Saving boogers for later?

I was browsing normal Youtube videos and then this abnormally funny video about the biggest booger pulled out by a doctor from a man's nose caught my attention. I thought it would be fun to watch it especially when the title of the video says, 'Doctor Removes Booger from Hell from Inside Man's Nose'

I didn't really want to see this disgusting pulling out of booger thing, but my curiosity wouldn't let me skip the video and my hands are itching to click Youtube video's play button. After playing the video, I instantly moved a yard away from my computer. And this is what I saw just before lunch time! 

I bet this man has the most satisfying booger-picking experience.

Women who cut their fingers for deceased relatives

Having the thought of physically hurting yourself, hurts! But not to the women of Dani Tribe from the central highlands of western New Guinea (Indonesian Province of Papua).

A Dani woman with 6 of her fingers cut

Why do they do this? Because it's a part of their custom. While most of us mourn for the death of our family members, the women of the Dani Tribe suffer not only from the emotional pain brought by the death of their loved ones but as well as in physical pain.  The women of the Dani tribe amputate one or two joints of their fingers when a close relative dies and burn it together with the body of the deceased. 

Brave? Yes, they are. Because these women carries out the amputation themselves. So, aside from losing fingers, they are the ones responsible cutting them off (a woman ties the joint with a piece of rope, hits it with a stone to make it numb, then chops it off). They do this practice to satisfy ancestral ghost.
