Papa Smurf?
Paul Karason was fair skinned and freckled 14 years ago — before he developed a bad case of dermatitis caused by stress.When it got so bad that the skin on his face began to peel and crack he started using a substance called colloidal silver. The product is reportedly made by extracting silver from metal into water with an electrical current and it is then taken as a drink.
But the 57-year-old said drinking the potion did not cause his skin to discolor — the change in hue happened when he rubbed the potion directly onto his face.
"The change was so gradual that I didn't perceive it and other people around me likewise," he said. "It wasn't until a friend I hadn't seen in several months came by my parents' place to see me and he asked me 'What did you do?'"
His girlfriend, Jackie Northup, added: "The only time now I really think about it or notice it is if we're out in public and people start staring."
Karason has moved from Oregon to California hoping to find acceptance and escape Gargamel…but said: "I do tend to avoid public places as much as I can."
The Armageddon Prophecy
Lamar Roberts, 17, and Heather Trujillo, 16, were charged as adults on one count each of felony child abuse causing death, state prosecutor Robert Miller said in court documents released Wednesday and filed a day earlier.The teens were baby-sitting Trujillo's 7-year-old half-sister, Zoe Garcia, on Dec. 6 while the girl's mother was at work. Zoe lost consciousness and stopped breathing after the teens hit, kicked and body-slammed her, imitating moves used in the "Mortal Kombat" video game.
Trujillo and Roberts tried reviving the girl by putting her under running water and attempting CPR before they called her mother and paramedics, the affidavits stated. The girl died at a hospital.
An autopsy showed she had a broken wrist, more than 20 bruises, swelling of the brain, and bleeding in her neck muscles and under her spine, the affidavits said.
The witness told police that Roberts said Zoe had told them to stop wrestling. According to the affidavit, when the witness asked why they didn't stop, he responded, "I don't know; I was drunk."

Tied Up At The Moment
That's Not My Bag, Baby.
A woman who had an affair with her married dance instructor kept the remains of their love-child hidden away from a disapproving world for half a century, an inquest was told yesterday.Gladys Mary Briggs, who gave birth out of wedlock in 1957, locked the baby's body in a suitcase and lived with it in her council flat for 50 years.
It was only discovered this year when council staff visited Mrs Briggs's home after ill-health forced her to leave. They found the remains wrapped in cloth, enclosed with a copy of a newspaper of the time.
Mrs Briggs refused to reveal the baby's identity to police and denied having given birth to him. She died three months after the discovery in January.
The boy's father, Godfrey Moorhen, now 102 and living in sheltered accommodation, has also refused to discuss the matter.
Do You Know The Muffin Man?
British Airways have suspended a cabin crew steward for eating a muffin that was discarded on a passenger's meal tray, it was reported today.British Airways are treating the incident as theft after he was reported at Heathrow airport on Monday.
One BA worker told The Sun: "The cabin crew member on a long-haul flight took a muffin destined for the bin. "Now his career hangs in the balance. Everyone is up in arms - it is a disgusting way to treat a member of staff."
The move to suspend the worker comes after another BA flight attendant was told she could not wear a crucifix to work as it apparently contravened the company's uniform policy.
The worker added: "The staff is scared. British Airways is acting like a police state."
"Hot Rod"
A surgeon faces a disciplinary hearing for snapping a photo of a patient's tattooed genitals during an operation and showing it around to other doctors.Mayo Clinic Hospital administrators said Dr. Adam Hansen, chief resident of general surgery, admitted taking the photo with his cell phone on Dec. 11. The tattoo on strip club owner Sean Dubowik's penis reads: "Hot Rod."
Dubowik, 27, said Hansen told him he took the picture while inserting a catheter into his penis. A member of the surgical staff made an anonymous call about the photo to The Arizona Republic on Monday.
"He told me he didn't want me to read about it in the newspaper first," Dubowik said.
Dubowik said he got the tattoo on a bet and that "it was the most horrible thing I ever went though in my life."
