We've found ourselves expecting quite a bit from the upcoming The Amazing Spider-Man, but something we didn't anticipate was being absolutely FREAKED OUT over the look of the super-hero reboot's main antagonist, The Lizard!

Ch-ch-check out some pretty impressive behind-the-scenes footage from Rhys Ifran, who plays the villainous Curt Connors, as he gives some pretty inneresting insight into the psychology of his character and why he may be more of a victim of circumstance than a nefarious, malicious enemy (above)!

Very inneresting!

And we think the revision of his character being an old friend and co-worker of Peter Parker's father will add a pretty unique layer to the mythology in this adaptation!

What do U think?? Are U excited to see Marc Webb's take on The Lizard this summer?

OH NO!

This poor little bunny-rabbit born without ears and is causing locals to worry.

Fukushima is one of the nuclear power plants damaged by the powerful earthquake and the subsequent tsunami on March 11.

Authorities evacuated all residents within 20 km as the reactors went into meltdown. The exclusion zone was later extended to 30 km.

The mutant rabbit was born in a village just outside the perimeter.

Radiation has not been officially declared as the cause of the mutation.

Our hearts go out to the people of Japan. We sincerely hope this is an isolated incident.

Elizabeth Taylor had beautiful eyes, and they were outlined by magnificent eyelashes.

She was actually born with a genetic mutation that caused her to grow two rows of eyelashes. Liz got lucky, though, because the people with this mutation often times have eyelashes that grow the wrong way (inward).

Also, people born with this mutation many times have heart problems — which Liz did.

Liz Taylor leaves a wonderfully complex legacy, but one thing we’ll always remember about her are those gorgeous eyes, outlined by beautiful lashes.

Woah!

Now this is AMAZING, in a freaky mutant kind of way, but nonetheless AMAZING!

A two-headed calf was born in Georgie (the country, not state).

We always thought a two-headed animal would be scary, not twice as adorable!

We want one.

But which mouth do we feed?
