A 36-Year-Old Woman Developed an Insatiable Craving for Bleach. Scientists Now Know Why

We all have our unusual food preferences, but it’s unlikely any are quite as weird as the craving experienced by a 36-year-old woman featured in a recent case report. Her doctors described how the woman developed a sudden hunger for bleach—a craving likely triggered by an autoimmune disorder. Doctors in Michigan detailed the strange tale in a paper published last month in the journal Case Reports in Psychiatry. The woman had developed a severe bout of anemia caused by vitamin B12 deficiency, no

What Seemed Like a Pregnancy Was Actually Something Far More Dangerous

A woman’s supposed pregnancy turned out to be something much stranger. In a recent report from her doctors, they detail how the woman had developed an incredibly rare form of ovarian cancer that mimicked the symptoms of pregnancy, even causing a positive pregnancy test. Doctors in India described the case of mistaken identity earlier this July in the journal Oncoscience. After first suspecting the woman had an ectopic pregnancy, the doctors instead discovered a large and rare type of tumor in h

Margot Robbie May Be Our New Attacking 50 Foot Woman

In 2024, we learned Tim Burton was being eyed to direct a remake of Attack of the 50 Foot Woman for Warner Bros. from a script by Gillian Flynn. Now, the director may have found his lead in fellow WB alum Margot Robbie. Per Variety, the Barbie actress is in “early conversations” to headline the film, which tells the story of a wealthy heiress who becomes giant-sized after meeting an alien. Her next move, upon realizing her new stature, is to enact some payback on her cheating husband. Should sh

Airbnb guest says host used AI-generated images in false $9,000 damages claim

WTF?! One of the many fears about AI use becoming widespread is that people can now alter images – sometimes convincingly – without any technical skills. An example of this surfaced recently when an Airbnb guest said a host manipulated photos in a false £12,000 ($9,041) damage claim. The incident took place earlier this year when a London-based woman booked a one-bedroom apartment in New York's Manhattan for two-and-a-half months while she was studying, reports The Guardian. She decided to leav

James Gunn and DC Haven’t Started Casting Wonder Woman… Yet

The holy trilogy of James Gunn’s DC Universe is slowly coming together. Part one, of course, is Superman, which is now in theaters. A Batman movie is being written (in addition to Matt Reeves’ new Batman movie), and, of late, there’s been lots of talk about Wonder Woman too. As co-president of DC Studios, Gunn recently confirmed a Wonder Woman script is being written, and subsequent rumors suggested the film was being fast-tracked. Well, that’s partially true, Gunn said. “It’s a priority, but I

Kidney Transplant Patient Got Incredibly Rare Infection from Her Cat

An immunocompromised woman’s cat stirred up a lot more trouble than usual (for a cat). In a recent case report, doctors detail how the feline likely spread a seldom-seen bacterial infection that landed its owner in the hospital. Doctors in Slovenia wrote the report, published in the June issue of Emerging Infectious Diseases. The 56-year-old woman, a kidney transplant recipient, developed a severe, rare bout of Mycoplasma arginini infection that was eventually traced back to her cat. Thankfully

Scientists Just Found a New, Incredibly Rare Blood Type

Step aside A, B, and O—there’s a new player in town. Scientists in France have just reported the discovery of a novel, rare blood type, only recorded in a single person to date. The French Blood Establishment (EFS), the country’s sole civilian blood transfusion organization, announced the discovery over the weekend. The blood type, nicknamed “Gwada negative,” was found in a French woman originally from Guadeloupe. It’s the 48th distinct blood group system to be established. “This discovery was

James Gunn Calls Batman His Biggest Problem in the DC Universe

When you’re in charge of DC, there are three things you know you have to get right: Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. That’s why, when James Gunn and Peter Safran took over DC Studios in 2023, plans were immediately put in place for the Holy Trinity of the company. The first part of that, Superman, is about to come to the big screen on July 11, but the other two pieces are still in flux. “Batman’s my biggest issue in all of DC right now, personally,” Gunn told Rolling Stone. “And it’s not—I’m

Metal Detectorist Discovers Rare Boat Grave Containing Viking Woman and Her Dog

The saying goes that a dog is a man’s best friend, but an archaeological excavation in Norway proves that women care about their four-legged companions just as much as men do, even 1,100 years ago. Archaeologists from the Arctic University Museum of Norway have revealed a 10th-century Viking boat grave on the Norwegian island of Senja. The buried individual is likely a woman who belonged to an elite class, as Science Norway first reported. Most notably, the team found a dog carefully buried at
