It's fair to say that Jon Pichaya Ferry from Brooklyn, New York, has received a fair bit of backlash regarding the way he makes his living. The 22-year-old student currently makes an income by buying and selling medical skeletons, spines, and skulls. The product design student has more than 200 pieces in his morbid collection including a variety of human skulls and a wall filled with over 100 spines and skulls - and they're all kept in his apartment.

Although the nature of his trade has raised a few eyebrows, Ferry claims his collection of bones is just for educational purposes, stating that he only works "with medical bones which is what doctors and osteologists use for studying". The majority of the bones acquired by Ferry have reportedly been passed down from doctors or other medical professionals, and "come from a time where people willingly donated them to science or their family did." Therefore, Ferry explained, most of the bones in his collection have been "passed down from older generations". Ferry has in his possession 13 full skeletons.

Three friends who have attended every Super Bowl together, plan their last trip

Three men all in their 80s, have attended every game since the first AFL-NFL World Championship Game was held 55 years ago about 7 miles from this year's venue, SoFi Stadium in California.

Gregory Eaton, 82, of Michigan, wants to keep attending but said his health concerns could get in the way. Even Tom Henschel, a football fanatic who spends the cold months in Florida, said Super Bowl LX in 2026 figures to be his last. The far-flung friends use the Super Bowl to meet up, spend time together and reminisce.

This man has the world's most insect tattoos

Michael Amoia, a music producer and entrepreneur from New York, recently set a new world record for the most insects tattooed on his body, a whopping 864, twie as many as the previous record. But just because he has a giant centipede covering most of his front torso, and a menacing scorpion inked on the right side of his face does not mean that Michael Amoia likes insects. In fact, the opposite is true, as he says he hates bugs and is afraid of them.
