Amazing body paint. Can't believe it's not photoshop. These pictures will stun you.

Can you believe that these body modifications are created without using Photoshop? They are the painted works of a Japanese artist known simply as Chooo-san. Equipped with some acrylic paints and raw talent, Chooo-san has once again proven she is a master manipulator. There's even a hint of humor in the new works. On a lean torso of a man, she depicts a series of neatly fastened buttons and the same set of buttons appear to be popped open, unable to close shut, on the belly of a heavier set fellow. And, yet again, the artist incorporates a modest prop (in this case a cord) to heighten the believability of the skin illustration.

CHRISTMAS HORROR: Santa Claus found tied and dead in russia

A man dressed as Santa Claus has been found dead and hog tied after he threatened partygoers with a knife in Russia.

Investigators said the man attended the house party in the Russian city of Yakutsk and had to be subdued when he began threatning two other partygoers with a knife. His hands and feet were tied with rope, and his girlfriend tied her scarf around his mouth to stop him for yelling and then left him outside in the cold. As the girlfriend was escorting all the guests out of the house she went to check on her boyfriend and found him dead. Detectives are still trying to work out the cause of the man's death.
