“Locks of Love is tangled in scandal. According to a new report from watchdog group Nonprofit Investor (NPI), the West Palm Beach-based charity – which collects human hair to make custom – fitted hair prosthesis for children suffering from medical hair loss – can’t account for $6 million worth of follicle donations… in 2011, Locks of Love made just 317 of its natural hairpieces. That leaves 1,763 hairpieces unaccounted for, which NPI values at $6.6 million, based on manufacturing costs and retail value of other natural hair wigs.” w/ photos

“Runa Begum, an 18-month-old Indian girl suffering from hydrocephalus, a rare condition that causes fluid to build up in the brain, has been admitted to a hospital in the capital New Delhi and is doing well, according to doctors. Runa’s case drew tremendous media attention as her head is swollen to almost double in size and her parents could not afford her treatment. Her father, an 18-year-old daily wage laborer, barely makes $2.75 a day. The publication of her photos by news agency AFP, taken in the remote north-eastern state of Tripura in India, saw many offers of help pouring in including donations and a top hospital in Delhi, Fortis, offering treatment. Dr Sandeep Vaishya, neurosurgery head at Fortis Helathcare Hospital told AFP, ‘Her case is very complex so we are currently considering options of how best to proceed.” w/ photos

“A group of friends are celebrating a million dollar lottery win after a fortune cookie predicted their huge windfall. Alaska man James Scoles opened the cookie on March 15 which had a message inside that read: ‘You’re going to win the lottery.’ The after-dinner treat’s forecast proved to be spookily accurate when, less than 24 hours later, he was toasting a $1million jackpot win with friends Kenneth Wilson and Sanford Watson. Mr Wilson, who bought the ticket at his local grocery store, explained the three of them had a verbal agreement to split the money if they ever won.” w/ photo

“There’s nothing like the thought of a delicious piece of meat with human teeth wrapped in prison stripes to put you to a gentle, dreamless sleep. Despite the way it looks, the sheepshead fish has at least one thing going for it. While other members of the Sparidae family are trying out various forms of hermaphroditism, including changing from female to male, doing the opposite, or being unisexual, the sheepshead is just sitting at home watching cartoons and leaving its genitals where they are. So that’s something.” w/ photos

“A pet owner in France was reportedly prevented from committing suicide by her dog after it decided it was not yet ready to see her go. The 63-year-old female decided to end it all in her back yard in Sorgues but her German shepherd apparently had a different idea. In desperation the loyal pet reportedly did what anyone else who loved her would and collided with the elderly woman in an attempt to get her to drop the gun. ‘[The dog] probably sensed things and knocked into her to save her,’ a police officer said. The woman suffered a chest wound but was not seriously hurt and should make a full recovery.” w/ photos

“This eight-year-old boy doesn’t look too pleased even though it was apparently his idea to ‘marry’ a 61-year-old woman at the behest of his ancestors. Little Sanele Masilela got hitched to Helen Shabangu, who also didn’t look too happy with her involvement in the ceremony. The older woman has five children and is already married but she is not in danger of breaking any polygamy laws because her latest union is just a ritual. ‘I’m married and have five kids of my own, but I know that this is what the ancestors wanted – and now they are happy,’ said Mrs Shabangu.” w/ photos
