Filipino Man Gets Plastic Surgery To Look Like Superman

Posted: 07 Oct 2011 02:54 PM PDT

Herbert Chavez, a 35-year old Filipino pageant trainer, has since 1995 undergone a whole host of surgeries to make him more closely resemble the Man of Steel. According to a news report from ABS-CBN News out of the Philippines, he has admitted to a nose job, chin augmentation for that iconic cleft, silicone lip injections and, of course, thigh implants.

The news report speculates that he has Body Dysmorphic Disorder, which makes him compulsively undergo plastic surgery. Whether or not that's true, he is clearly obsessed with the man of steel; a peek inside his home reveals a shrine to the hero, with everything from bedding to wall decorations to actual, larger than life statues of the hero taking up an entire room.

The video is pretty ridiculous. The best part may be when it zooms in on every "surgically enhanced" part of his body step by step (chin, nose, cheeks) before pausing on his crotch just long enough for the viewer to think "Waaaaaaait." They then quickly zoom in on his thigh.

Retired Policeman Catches Record Breaking Halibut in Norway

A retired policeman landed this huge halibut fish weighing a whopping 540 pounds to claim a world record. Super-fit Reinhard Wuhrmann, 62, fought with the monster for three hours before he and three fishermen colleagues finally netted it.

The super flat fish was so big that at one point German Reinhard's rod snapped in two. The men were only able to haul it onto their boat after tying a rope around it when it came alongside. The 8ft 3ins Atlantic halibut smashed the previous world record by an impressive 58lbs.
