BANGKOK – Meet the hairiest girl in the world!

Her nicknames may include ‘wolf girl’ and ‘monkey face’.

But 11-year-old Thai girl Supatra Sasuphan today insisted that she was after being officially recognised as the world’s hairiest girl.

Although the schoolgirl from Bangkok has faced merciless teasing at school, Supatra says being given a Guinness World Record for her hair has helped her become extremely popular.

I’m very happy to be in the Guinness World Records! A lot of people have to do a lot to get in,’ she said. ‘All I did was answer a few questions and then they gave it to me.’

Supatra is one of just 50 known sufferers of Ambras Syndrome – caused by a faulty chromosome – to be documented since the Middle Ages. Before the disease was understood, sufferers were branded ‘werewolves.’

She has thick hair growing over her face, ears, arms, legs and back. Even laser treatment has failed to stop the hair growth.

But while most sufferers have been shunned, Supatra has gradually been embraced by her community, and became a popular and outgoing child.

BANGKOK – Chaos is gripping the city of Bangkok. The Thai government is doing what they can to control it!

The Thai government has issued a curfew in Bangkok from 8 p.m. until 6 a.m. as rioting and violence spread across the capital. The curfew will be imposed on Wednesday night, defense minister General Prawit Wongsuwon said after a military offensive against anti-government protestors in the capital.

Army Spokesman Sunsern Kaewkumnerd said that the offensive had successfully yielded the surrender of “Red Shirts” protest leaders and that authorities can “control the situation overall.” The thousands of protestors now leaving the rally zone in central Bangkok, which they have occupied for six weeks, would be assisted in returning home, he added.

Bangkok had become a raging battleground in the aftermath of an army crackdown on protestors. Television footage showed fires burning across the city, which has a population of nine million. Thailand’s stock exchange was substantially damaged by fire, Thamon Onketpol, an advisor to the governor of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration, told Thai PBS television. A blaze in the building where Channel 3 is based had trapped “many people,” he added.

Although the army has gained the surrender of protest leaders, gunfire and explosions continue to rock the city. Demonstrators shot out windows and set fires in the Central World and Siam Paragon shopping malls.

The Red Shirt demonstrators view Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva’s rule as illegitimate.

“We will continue to fight for democracy, this is not our day,” Nattawut Saikur, one of several Red Shirt leaders, said as he arrived at a local police station. “We have been trying to do our best for the country to be truly owned by the people.”

BANGKOK – The largest stingray ever caught was recorded and released back into the wild. But was it of this earth?

A British man visiting Thailand to help with a stingray tagging program was nearly pulled overboard. Ian Welch just happened to catch the largest freshwater fish ever landed, a 770-pound stingray! The ray was seven feet wide by seven feet long, with a monstrous ten-foot stinger.

It required 13 men in total to finally get the stingray onto the boat for inspection. After tagging and recording the ray, which was actually pregnant, it was released back into the water.

However, their records may be uselss. Weekly World News editors have noticed a distinct resemblance to the aliens featured in the widely-acclaimed documentary The Abyss, filmed by James Cameron. Did Welch make an even more important discovery? Are these aliens coming closer to shore?

BANGKOK, THAILAND – The Chaos Cloud is apparently unhappy over the uproar in Bangkok’s airport.

Protesters from the People’s Alliance for Democracy poured into Bangkok’s international airport as Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat was due to arrive. Wongsawat’s flight was diverted and the airport has been completely shut down. Stranded foreigners are being relocated to hotels as thousands of protesters settled in for the long haul.

The Chaos Cloud arrived late last night in Bangkok, leaving citizens to awaken to its sun-blocking gloom. Thai journalists believe the Cloud is not concerned with the political outcome of the protests, only that complete anarchy not occur. The Chaos Cloud is attempting to contain any chaos until its final descent in 2014.

The head of Thailand’s army has now assured the public and the Cloud that the military will not commit a coup, but strongly encourages the government to allow free elections. “The government should return power to the people,” stated General Anupong Paochinda, with a fearful eye to the sky.
