Beware of "Dead-Butt Syndrome"!

Of course, you can only get dead-butt syndrome if you run a marathon. But still, I'm going to be careful— I don't want my butt to die!

Another Ultra-Gross Reader Saves the Day!

You’re enjoying the last days of summer at a country fair, when suddenly your eyes start burning. As you rub your flaming orbs, you see everyone else around you doing the same. Luckily, you read Ultra-Gross, and you know what’s going on. Is it poison gas? No!

Wait, yes it is. Sort of.

“It’s cow pee!” you scream. “Run for your lives!”

You base this sensible suggestion on the news story from the other day from Australia. Visitors at the Royal Adelaide agricultural show suddenly started clutching their eyes.

The culprit: Stale cow urine.

It was raining, and somehow this activated the ammonia in some pools of cow pee. Wind caught the gas and blew it on people's eyeballs. And despite all the screaming, everyone was okay. And it’s all thanks to you and your calmness in the face of danger!

You May Have a Broken Leg, But Your Funnybone is Just Fine!

Let’s say you broke your leg, or perhaps your universal joint. That’s got to hurt! 

But luckily, there’s a company out there that makes casts that are so cool, having broken bones was never so much fun! 

It’s called Casttoo, which is a combination of “cast” and “tattoos.” And the experts working there can put almost any picture you can imagine on your cast. That means that compound fractures are now cute!

One particular Casttoo design that caught my eye were the “broken bone” casts, which seem to show an X-ray of the broken bone in question. 

And you know what? 

I sort of like this idea!
