"Rise of the Mutant Drunkards" (The Booze News)
BOSNIA—Two Bosnian brothers who say they can drink as much as they want without getting drunk now know why: each have a spare set of fully functioning kidneys.

Josip Galic, 69, from Kucetine, Bosnia discovered the source of his drinking prowess after a medical examination following a motor vehicle accident.

“That surprised me, but at least it explained why I could drink all my friends under the table, and never had a hangover.” He was further surprised when his brother later discovered, following a separate examination, that he also had four kidneys. Josip told Bosnian daily newspaper Vecernji List he would never consider selling his spare kidneys, though he would surrender a set to family members or close friends who needed them.

1. I remember someone posting this...
a while back but I can't for the life of me remember if it turned out to be a hoax or not.

I hope not. That's a mutation I could live with. :)

2. I have my own version of it.
The humming bird metabolism.
