We've let the lady addicted to eating vapor rub and the girl fond of eating tires pass, but just when we thought TLC's My Strange Addiction couldn't get anymore disgusting… we met BLOOD drinker, Michelle.

The 29-year-old tattoo artist has been extremely ADDICTED to drinking red body fluid since she was 14 years old, and while pig blood is her absolute favorite, she will throw back a friend's juice.

But what's even wackier is that she cooks with blood and admits that she can't go a day without it, or else she'll lose her mind!!

Want more deets on Michelle's addiction?!? Hit that play button (above), and don't forget to peep the pics (below)!!

Apparently they like inventing things that show up adult scientists around the world — 15 year-old Jack Andraka has invented a simple test that can detect the same pancreatic cancer that Steve Jobs had… but waaaaay earlier!

ABC really wants Lance Armstrong on Dancing With The Stars. It's completely understandable, too — he's a hot figure right now, for all the wrong reasons! Wrong reasons or not, he'd draw riiiiiiiiiiiidic ratings!

No worries though, he declined. Here's what his rep (which has to be the most un-fab job EVER) says:

Do you know what a polar bear plunge is?

If you thought about it, you could guess: it's when you jump into freezing cold water for the hell of it. The question is, though, whether or not it's good for you!

Vinny Guadagnino has done the Coney Island Polar Bear Club's 110th New Year's Day Swim twice now. Here's what he says:

"You get a rush when you're there because there are so many people doing it. It's definitely like a shot of adrenaline… It doesn't affect you that much — you just have to go in, and do it, and jump back out… Afterward, as soon as I get out, I have a towel waiting for me, and I dry off quickly. That's it — and then, I just chill."

BUT IS IT GOOD FOR YOU??

Major League Baseball has some of the most intensive drug testing in the world of professional sports.

And it's about to get even more intense.

Starting in 2013, the MLB is going to test each player by drawing all of their blood and holding it overnight. If they die, they're juicing up.

JK! LOLz! We totally had you going.

What they're actually doing is starting in-season testing for human growth hormone (HGH).

And dying young. Can't forget that.

What has happened to the U.S.??

According to a study from the National Academy of Sciences, Americans are waaaaaay unhealthier than Canada, Australia, Japan, Britain, France, Portugal, Italy and Germany. Plus eight other countries.

That's gotta be by like, what, 15 people or something? Not a big gap?

Nope — we're sitting comfortably at #1 in infant mortality, injury and homicide rates, teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, AIDS, drug abuse, obesity and diabetes, heart disease, lung disease, and disabilities. USA!
