Tallest Girl From Thailand
Towering head and shoulders above her parents, this giant teenager is the tallest in the world at a whopping 6ft 10 in and she could still be growing. Weighing in at 20.5 stone, Malee Duangdee from eastern Thailand knew she was different from a young age, growing much faster than her school friends.

She said: 'I used to feel like a freak, schoolchildren used to bully me and call me names. But since leaving school I've tried to feel more comfortable with who I am. I've got used to life on my own, but it's hard.' 04 More images after the break...

Deepika Padukone in Dum Maro Dum
Baffling wasn't it? So was it for Deepika Padukone. The actress was recently offered Rs. 4 crores by a wealthy NRI family in London to perform the four minute long 'Dum Maro Dum' song for them in private. Deepika, who had stayed away from private performances, turned down this offer too, though the pay was alluring. The family had requested Deepika Padukone to dance for the song wearing the same silver tattered mini skirt she wore in the movie. Deepika confirmed her stand that she will not perform in private parties, no matter how high the price offered. While Deepika Padukone has maintained a ban on private performances, her colleagues Katrina Kaif and Mallika Sherawat have been raking income from private performances. Last year, Priyanka Chopra was offered three crores for performing at a private New Year eve party but the offer was turned down by the actress. 13 More images after the break...

Trees Cocooned in Spiders Webs
An unexpected side-effect of the fl00ding in parts of Pakistan has been that millions of spiders climbed up into the trees to escape the rising flood waters. Because of the scale of the fl00ding and the fact that the water has taken so long to recede, many trees have become cocooned in spiders webs. People in this part of Sindh have never seen this phenonemon before – but they also report that there are now less mosquitos than they would expect, given the amoungt of stagnant, standing water that is around. It is thought that the mosquitos are getting caught in the spiders web thus reducing the risk of malaria, which would be one blessing for the people of Sindh, facing so many other hardships after the fl00ds. UK aid – in response to the Pakistan fl00ds – is helping millions of survivors return home and rebuild their lives. 08 more images after the break...

Cow jump like a Horse
"Luna" cow can jump like a horse? Well, that appears to be the case for "Luna," a Germany-residing cow who thinks she's a horse and behaves like one too. Schoolgirl Regina Mayer, who lives on a farm in Laufen, Germany, didn't worry when her parents couldn't afford to buy her a horse - she just trained her cow to ride instead, reports USA Today. The resourceful 15-year-old spent hours training Luna and the pair now go on long rides together. Luna can also jump over hurdles. After hours of arduous training, the pair regularly embark on long rides through the southern German countryside and do jumps over a makeshift hurdle of beer crates and painted logs, USA Today reports. "She thinks she's a horse," Regina joked. "When she wants to do something, she does it, when she doesn't, she doesn't. And she's often very headstrong but can also be really adorable." 04 more images after the break...
