“I thought it was amazing and it’s definitely an ice-breaker at parties,” she said. “If women want to have a look, I’m quite happy to show them, it’s not something I’m embarrassed by.”

Jones has a septum or dividing wall between her two vaginas, which occurred during her own development in the womb, say her doctors. The condition occurs in about one in 3,000 women, according to the World Health Organization. Women can have children, although they are more apt to require a C-section section, as babies are often born breech.

A variety of uterine or mullerian anomalies occur in about 1 in 200 births, according to Berghella. “You do the math – probably more than 100 million women in the world have it.” 

“The reproductive tract is made of two tubes next to each other all the way from the vagina to the fallopian tubes,” he said. “They are supposed to fuse at the level of the vagina so they are only one. For whatever reason — it’s unknown — the two tubes don’t fuse and you have double. There are more than 10 variations and sometimes you have two uteruses.” 

Facebook now has 351 million active users in Asia

Facebook’s (FB) newest figures for Q3 2013 are out, showing strong numbers that beat expectations with $2.02 billion in total revenue.

The revenue figure for Asia rose to $278 million in Q3, up from $154 million at the same point last year.
Facebook’s monthly active users in Asia are also up, now standing at 351 million. That’s up from 277 million a year ago. Facebook Q3 figures for Asia, 01

While Facebook’s average revenue per active user in Asia is up, it’s still dwarfed by the whopping $962 million that Facebook makes from just the 199 million active users in the US and Canada.

The NextBigWhat blog crew notes that Facebook’s earnings teleconference mentioned that developing markets like India and Turkey likely have more spam/fake or duplicate accounts than the global average. Duplicate accounts maybe constitute between 0.8 and 2.1 percent of the active users on Facebook, while spammers might make up between 0.4 and 1.2 percent of its worldwide active user-base.

Did you change your profile picture to a giraffe?

Does anyone recognize this riddle? This post has been spreading like wildfire all over Facebook and chances are, you probably woke up wondering why your Facebook wall is filled with pictures of giraffes. Those poor souls unfortunately got the answer wrong and decided to play along with the riddle. 

 

But where did this post come from?

Online blogger Vernon Chan seems to think that this has some connection to a story from BBC back in 2012. A nine-month-old baby called Millie Elizabeth Josephine Thompson died from choking on food. Distraught, her parents set up the Millie’s Trust to raise awareness in Paediatric First Aid.

In a separate incident, a zoo called Chester Zoo celebrated the birth of a Rothschild giraffe, the world’s most endangered sub-species of giraffe on March 25, 2013. The zoo decided to name the rare giraffe calf, Millie, in memory of Millie Thompson, and Millie's Trust now supports Chester Zoo in efforts to raise funds for Millie the giraffe's upbringing.

We still don't see the connection to the riddle though, and neither does he. However, it does make for a decent story to tell your friends over lunch, and spread awareness about a good cause too!

Oh, and what's the answer to this riddle? Naw, we won't spoil it for you. Go ahead and think about it (it's obviously none of the options provided in the riddle), and put your answer in the comments!

Philippine earthquake creates miles-long rocky wall

A deadly earthquake that struck the Philippines last week created a spectacular rocky wall that stretches for kilometres (miles) through farmlands, astounded geologists said Thursday.

Dramatic pictures of the Earth-altering power of the 7.1-magnitide quake have emerged as the government worked to mend the broken central island of Bohol, ground zero of the destruction.

A "ground rupture" pushed up a stretch of ground by up to three metres (10 feet), creating a wall of rock above the epicentre, Maria Isabel Abigania, a geologist at the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology, told AFP.

"Our people have walked five kilometres (three miles) so far and not found the end of this wall," she said, as experts from the institute surveyed the damage.

"So far we have not gotten any reports of people getting swallowed up in these cracks. The fault runs along a less-populated area."

A photograph on the institute's website showed part of the rock wall grotesquely rising on farmland behind an unscathed bamboo hut.

Another house was shown lodged in a crack of the Earth, while a big hole on the ground opened up at a banana farm.

Renato Solidum, head of the institute, said the ground fissures from the quake, which killed 198 people on Bohol and two nearby islands, were among the largest recorded since the government agency began keeping quake records in 1987.

"Most of our other quake records show a lateral (sideways) tearing of the earth, though we've also had coral reefs rising from the sea," he said, citing a 6.7-magnitude earthquake that hit the central island of Negros last year.

The Philippines lies on the so-called Pacific Ring of Fire made up of chains of islands created by volcanic eruption that are also frequently hit by earthquakes.

President Benigno Aquino told reporters Thursday the institute had assured him the worst was over, though Bohol would continue to be hit by aftershocks over the next few weeks.

"There is no immediate danger" either from the aftershocks or from the ground fissures, said Aquino, who slept in an army tent there overnight Wednesday in solidarity with the survivors.
