‘Hand of God’ rock being sold on eBay

A man in northern Idaho says he has seen a massive hand of God in his life, and he is willing to share it with the highest bidder.

Paul Grayhek, 52, listed the rock formation he dubbed the “Hand of God Rock Wall” on the online auction Web site eBay. The highest bid was $250 early Sunday, with three days left to go in the auction.

The hand-like formation, approximately 9 feet tall and 4 feet wide, appeared in Grayhek’s backyard after a rockfall during Lent on March 8, he said.

The Coeur d’Alene resident said he faced tough times after losing his job, and believed the rock was a sign.

However, the winning bidder on eBay should not start clearing out his backyard. Grayhek is not planning to part with the formation.

The buyer will “basically be buying the rights, complete and exclusive rights” to the rock, including literary and movie rights, according to Grayhek.

The BLT Cocktail

“The BLT is one of those cocktails that has a very different and unusual response among its tasters,” says Brent Jones, mixologist at Hotel Jerome, A RockResort, in Aspen, Colorado. “More often than not I hear, ‘Wow, I did not expect that.’”

Jones says that reaction comes from the fact that the cocktail’s combination of flavors is so very reminiscent of the item that influenced its creation: the bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich.

How to remove a leech from an eyeball

A LEECH which had attached itself to an Australian woman’s eyeball has been removed by doctors who had to think “outside the box”.

The 66-year-old woman was gardening in the backyard of her suburban Sydney home in March last year, when she accidentally flicked some moist soil and the leech into her left eye.

Her husband then watched in alarm as the leech wriggled its way over her cornea, headed for safety and a feed via the eye’s mass of delicate blood vessels.

The unusual case report is published in Emergency Medicine Australasia, the journal of the Australasian College for Emergency Medicine.

“It was tucked up underneath her upper eyelid,” says emergency doctor Toby Fogg who helped to remove the blood-sucking critter.

“Our little fellow started off at about half a centimetre and by the time we removed it it was about 2cm long – it had quite a good lunch.”

Dr Fogg says tweezers were not an option as simply pulling the leech off could leave its head lodged in the eyeball, leading to infection.

A check of the medical literature revealed two other suggestions – using an anaesthetic on the eye to put the leech to sleep, or salted water.
