Woman, 101, grows horn

A 101-year-old woman has grown a horn on her head - and now fears she's growing another one.

Zhang Ruifang, of Linlou village, in central China's Henan province, noticed a small lump on her forehead last year.

But it is now six centimetres long - and a small lump has now appeared on the other side of her forehead.

Her youngest son, Zhang Guozheng, 60, said the horn started as a patch of thick, rough skin on the left side of her forehead.

"We didn't pay too much attention to it at first," he said. "But as time went on it just grew and grew.

"And now there is something growing on the right side of her forehead and it seems quite possible that it's another horn."

Zhang has seven children - six boys and a girl - and many grandchildren. Her eldest son is 82-years-old.

The family lives in a rural area and don't have the money to send her to hospital - but they say she is in no pain and enjoys a peaceful life.

Man marries giant cushion

A Japanese man showed he was one big softy when he married the love of his life - a giant cushion.

Lee Jin-gyu has fallen head over heels for a Japanese 'dakimakura' - or hugging pillow - showing a life sized cartoon of his favorite anime cartoon character Fate Testarossa.

Now Jin, 28, has wed the pillow in a special ceremony in Tokyo after fitting it out with a wedding dress for the service in front of a local priest.

"He is completely obsessed with this pillow and takes it everywhere," said one friend.

"They go out to the park or the funfair where it will go on all the rides with him.

"Then when he goes out to eat he takes it with him and it gets its own seat and its own meal," they added.

Hugging pillows have become a huge hit in Japan as a way for teenage fans to get to grips with their favorite cartoon fantasy women.
