Man grows horn on his head

A man from Ziyuan, southern China has grown a bizarre horn on his head measuring three inches - and it's still growing.

Huang Yuanfan, 84, said the odd growth started two years ago as a small bump but just grew and grew.



He said: ‘I tried picking at it and even filing it but nothing changed it. The horn just kept getting bigger.’ Yuanfan says it has now reached three inches and is showing no signs of stopping.

He added: ‘Doctors say they don't know what caused it but if they try to take it off it will just come back. I try to hide it beneath a hat but if it gets much longer it will be sticking out the top.’

Isn't this ever growing human horn a gold mine? Cut it as it grows and sell the pieces to those kooks in the Chinese traditional medicine business, I'm sure they'd be willing to pay relatively handsomely to get their hands on such a rare and exclusive ingredient. I'm also sure they wouldn't have any trouble in marketing human horn powder to the gullible and way-too-rich businessmen with limp dicks as an aphrodisiac and a potent boner medicine. They are running out of rhino horns and tiger penises, after all.
