Yoandri Hernandez Garrido was born with extra fingers and toes. He got his nickname “24” for the total number of fingers and toes. He feels being blessed and he even makes a living benefiting from his condition.

Travelers pay him $10 for a photo with him. This is a good deal for a man who lives in a country where an average monthly salary is only $20.

The Japanese whose relatives passed away can now send the corpses for an overnight stay in Lastel Hotel in Yokohama. Since they have to wait for a crematorium oven for at least 4 days, they prefer to use half-way morgues such as Lastel rather than keep the dead bodies at home. The Japanese Ghoulish hotel tucks up corpses in refrigerated coffins for $157 (12,000 yen). Family and friends can visit and pay respects to deceased any time.
