Kirill Tereshin, 21, from Pyatigorsk in southwestern Russia, concocts a dangerous muscle-enhancing solution of olive oil, lidocaine and benzyl alcohol and injects it into his arm muscles. This gives him “bazooka” arms that doctors say may become paralyzed or even have to be amputated eventually. Tereshin has so far used 6 liters of the fluid. His biceps measure 23 inches, but he plans to continue injecting until they reach 27 inches. “I would like to get more than 1 million subscribers on Instagram and to stop working,” Tereshin told the Daily Mail. He’s considering an offer to become a porn star.

More Bad News For The Mail
— Lorette Taylor of Burlington, Ontario, Canada, was responsible for meting out her family’s inheritance after her father’s death. She sent a bank draft last February to her brother, Louis Paul Hebert, for $846,648. Hebert waited at his local UPS store for the check to arrive, but nothing came in. “I came back in the evening. Nothing shows up,” he told the CBC. UPS could trace the package only to its distribution center north of Toronto. So, along with sending an apology for Hebert’s inconvenience, UPS refunded the $32 shipping fee. Taylor’s bank, TD Canada Trust, initially assured her the check would be canceled. But two days later, the bank refused to issue a new draft until Taylor signed an indemnity agreement making her and her heirs liable for life should the original check be cashed. Not only that, the bank then asked her to put up collateral against the new bank draft, but that request was later recalled. Finally, 10 months after the whole ordeal began, the bank released the money, and Hebert, at press time in December, was making the 273-mile drive to pick up the check in person.
