There's some strange things going on in the world...

The man who was raised by chickens
July 10 2004 at 04:39PM
Social workers in Fiji are trying to rehabilitate a 32-year-old man who they say was raised by chickens.
The man was locked in a chicken coop as a child for years by his grandfather after his parents died. He had little contact with humans and picked up the habits of the birds. After escaping from the coop, the man was taken to a local hospital.
No-one knew how to treat him, so hospital workers locked him in a room and tied him to his bed for more than 20 years.
Now, doctors are trying to treat the man.
They say he has no mental defects and agree his condition is from years of abuse and neglect. "He had imitated or imprinted with the chicken," said Elizabeth Clayton, who is rehabilitating the man.
"He was perching, he was picking at his food, he was hopping around like a chicken.
"He'd keep his hands in a chicken-like fashion, and he'd make a noise which was like the calling of a chicken - which he still has."
Doctors said the man has made remarkable progress and is now learning to walk and speak like a human. - Ananova.com

I saw that on the news the other day. Very strange.
-------------------- The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity. ~ Albert Einstein "Fear is the great barrier to human growth." ~ Dr. Robert Monroe ~~~*Dosis sola facit venenum*~~~ *Check my profile to listen to my music*
