Stranger Than Fiction: The Cat-Boy

Not-a-post, but a desperate filler, while the month of February evaporates quickly. I should, if this world were kind, be eating pancakes tonight... For those of you in places other than the UK who previously thought our standards of journalism were pretty good, I present you with The Sun... All capitals used are theirs.

A CAT-BOY has stunned medics with his ability to SEE in pitch black with eyes that GLOW in the dark.

Doctors have studied Nong Youhui’s amazing eyesight since his dad took him to hospital in Dahua, southern China, concerned over his bright blue eyes.

Dad Ling said: "They told me he would grow out of it and that his eyes would stop glowing and turn black like most Chinese people but they never did."

Medical tests conducted in complete darkness show Youhui can read perfectly without any light and sees as clearly as most people do during the day. Experts believe he was born with a rare condition called leukodermia which has left his eyes with less protective pigment and more sensitive to light.

I think many of us book-lovers would find it fantastic to be able to see in the dark :) Proper posts coming. Promise.
