Weird Science Roundup: Free Botox, Tiny Teens, and Belligerent Blackbirds

Yee-haw! It’s the blog roundup.• Don’t let unemployment put a wrinkle in your plans. Viagra isn’t the only treatment you can get for free—a spa has offered free Botox, too. Confused? Watch the video.

• Hear, hear! Severed your ear but don’t know where to store it? Consider copying this guy by having doctors attach it to your stomach. Then surgeons can use cartilage from your ribs to stitch it back onto the side of your head.

• A 15-year-old, two-foot-tall girl in India is the world’s smallest teenager. Doctors think she has a pituitary problem, but apparently they haven’t been able to pin down the problem.

• Check out this video of the blackbird that’s terrorizing people in San Francisco by dive-bombing their heads. (It’s ok to laugh…we won’t tell.)
