Karason passed away in 2013 from a heart attack, although it wasn’t related to his argyria.

She’s also had her body modified to possess a split tongue, subdermal implants, piercings, ear expansions, scarifications, and dental implants. It shouldn’t be surprising that she owns her own tattoo studio, and a clothing line called Mujeres Vampiro (“Vampire Woman”). Oh yeah, and she’s also a criminal justice attorney.

Kim Goodman – The Woman Whose Eyes Can Pop Out Of Their Sockets
When you get hit in the head, they often say your eyes “popped out of their sockets”. Well, after Kim Goodman got hit in the head by a hockey stick, that almost became literal.

It looks a little dangerous or painful, but she doesn’t seem to have any trouble doing it.

Muhibia Buljubasic has an incredibly interesting ability. He must give off some kind of magnetic field, because things just seem to stick to him.

He’s stated that he’s learned how to do this with no training whatsoever, it just happens.

We’ve seen the hairiest man in the world, but what about the hairiest girl? Supatra Sasuphan is from Thailand and has a rare condition that makes you grow hair in places you just ordinarily wouldn’t. This may have made things a little difficult for Nat, at least at first, but she hasn’t let it get her down. As a matter of fact, she doesn’t even consider herself different from anyone else. Although she’s since shaved a majority of her extra hair since getting married, that doesn’t mean it won’t grow back.

This person has a rare skin condition called giant congenital pigmented nevus. Essentially, that massive mark on his back, shoulder, pectoral, and bicep, is a giant mole. And it all grows hair.
