MONKEY KING FROM INDIA
Wednesday, June 9, 2010Monkey king is how this man from India likes to be called. When you get to see his moves and the way he climbs on very dangerous and hard reachable places you will son recognize that he is actually imitating monkey moves. It looks like and easy ride when you look at him, but I am sure that there is o one who would be able to repeat something like this. This is a brave or stupid thing to do…not sure where to categorize it. One thing is for sure that a skill you will not find easily, but I just can’t imagine for what kind of job someone would need it. If you get to think of some be sure to let me know. Enjoy the photos as well as the additional video.
Man with wooden body
Dede Koswara, better known as “tree man,” in his home village of Bandung, Java, Indonesia, where he is continuing treatment for his rare condition. Koswara spent much of his life covered in tree-like warts until he underwent surgery in 2008 to have over 4-pounds of them removed from his body.
Dede’s ordeal began when he was 15 and cut his knee in an accident. A small wart developed on his lower leg and spread uncontrollably. Eventually he had to give up work as a builder and fisherman, and scratch a living in a traveling freak show. His wife of ten years left him as it became impossible for him to support her and their two children.
He had surgery, but tree on Dede body continue to grow in six months.
