Nature sometimes mimics humans.
A man from Jieyang in southern China’s Guangdong province shared last month a photo of an odd-shaped yam from his farm.
The photo showing him comparing his right hand with the rare hand-shaped yam went viral on social media, the South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported.
The yam had five upright finger-shaped protrusions from a wrist-looking base that was held up by the man. The tip of each “finger” looked like it had a manicured nail.
Someone offered to buy the bizarre vegetable for 8,000 yuan (US$1,150) but the farmer rejected the offer, according to SCMP.
Meanwhile, cadet-pilots of Finland’s Air Force reserve took off in Jyväskylä, about 170 miles north of the capital Helsinki, for a flight training exercise on the morning of 13 April.
As the pilot-trainees were airborne, four planes were observed following a different flight pattern, the New York Post (NYP) reported.
The Finnish Air Force later condemned the behavior of the trainee pilots and disciplined them, according to NYP.
The flight-tracking website Flightradar monitoring the cadet pilots’ planes tracked their flight patterns in the shape of two penises, NYP quoted the Finnish tabloid Iltalehti.
