40-year-old nicknamed AJ is a woman who can’t forget. She was also called as the “Human Calendar” because she can remember everything that happened to her. You can pick any random dates and she can elaborately tell verifiable details about what happened to her for the past 25 years of her life even any significant news events on topics that interested her. She usually also recalls what day of the week it was and what the weather was like.
She says that from 1980 at the age of 14 onward, her recall became automatic. Her parents didn’t notice her superior memory until she was in her 20s.
“I have studied learning and memory for over 50 years, and I had never read of or even heard about a person who has a comparable ability to remember,” McGaugh said. “However, we do not know whether she is unique or whether there may be others with comparable remembering ability who have not as yet been identified.”
Iran is just one step closer to claim the world record for longest sandwich when the crowd couldn’t wait before the three Guinness representatives could measure it and began devouring the 1,500 meter long Ostrich sandwich.
On May this year, a record was set by Italy for the longest sandwich measuring up to 1,378 meters. Iranian organizers hope to break that record by showing the video footage of their Ostrich sandwich to the Guinness World Records, since the evidence was eaten by hungry crowds.
Chaotic scenes ensued as the sandwich was rapidly gobbled up, leaving three Guinness representatives present bewildered and unsure if a new standard had been set.

Meet Rhett Lamb, the 3 year-old boy who couldn’t sleep. He is awake almost 24 hours a day which makes him irritable during the day.
Rhett is suffering from an extremely rare condition called Chiari Malformation. This condition squeezes the brain into the spinal column which result to strangulating of the brain stem which controls our body’s sleep, speech, cranial nerves, circulatory system, and the breathing system.
In order to relieve the pressure on Rhett’s brain stem, doctors performed surgery this week that they hope will allow him to sleep properly for the first time in his life. Surgeons made an incision at the base of Rhett’s skull to the top of his neck and removed the bone around the brain stem and spinal cord, which produced more space.
Update: After undergoing surgery to remove at the base of his skull, Rhett Lamb can now sleep like normal child do. Here’s a video from Yahoo.
