Actress Winona Ryder has a liver that is almost 2 times larger than normal. This is normal for her and has been the case since she was a child. There are plusses and minuses to this. On the plus side, having such a large liver makes it virtually impossible for her to get drunk. On the negative side, the liver is so large that it has crowded some of her other interal organs, specifically her kidneys. Her kidneys are roughly the same size as that of a ten-month-old child. This causes her to pee a lot. In fact, if she is in a hot climate and has been drinking a great deal, sometimes her kidneys are overwhelmed and start sending liquids to her bladder almost unchanged. One time on a hot movie set she started peeing orange juice.

King Edward VII of England had erotic photographic calling cards of himself made up so that he could given them to young women that he hoped to take as mistresses. These cards are unbelievably rare as almost all were destroyed by court officials after he became king in 1901. There is known to be at least one in the British Museum's sealed stacks, and there are rumors of one held by the descendents of Alice Keppel, one of the king's last mistresses. Rumor has it that the Keppel copy has both tear stains and lipstick on it. It is claimed that Edward had the Prince Albert modification of his genitalia, but that is a matter of dispute as some claim that it is just a scratch on the photo plate.

There are more incidents of cannibalism in Antarctica than any other continent. The incidents are rarely reported due to the international profile of many of the researchers posted there. A distrubingly large segment of these incidents are self-cannibalization, in which someone eats one of their own fingers in isolation-induced delirium.
