I'd have to say BS all the way. I believe the first article may have been an idea but the other one

. NO WAY!!!
Looks like your classic tabloid to me and if you look at the other stories on that site you'll understand why I don't give it credit:

Moskovsky Komsomolets
PRAVDA.Ru Furious squirrels attack stray dog and tear it to pieces
PRAVDA.Ru Ukrainian tourist agencies offer tours to Chernobyl and the surrounding area
PRAVDA.Ru Six-fingered cursed androgyne swills vodka
PRAVDA.Ru Centaurs appeared after copulation between humans and animals

Sorry mate,

The cactus/thorn one sounds like the national Enquirer..its a hoax.
and Stalin's half-apes?
interesting idea!
apart from the fact that its biologically impossible, it could have happened!

I can only see hypertrichosis as authentic, as it is a well documented mutation, dating back to at least the 16th century in Europe and Asia (Leroi, A.M., Mutants: On the form, varieties & errors of the human body, 2003).
 
I beleive the Stalin thing actually happened, and the scientist involved was forced to quite after an international outcry (when the secret leeked out).

The other story is so poorly written it almost has to be false.

I love the bit about "she is very fond of pot plants." LMAO.
 
The stalin thing is perfects plausible, and I believe it's true. All those communists like Hitler were way out there, crazy like. Don't know about the plant mutation though...
 
It's True! It's True! I woke up this morning and my mouth hurt. I went to the mirror and opened my mouth. MY TONGUE HAS BECOME A VICIOUS FLY TRAP!! It snaps at everything. HELP ME! help me!

What a load, but funny. As far as the Stalin thing. This is an actual disease, but it has been around since before stalin. That are many strange disorders. They happen in the animal and plant world as well.
 
theres a magical thing called chromizomes ( i murdered the spelling) For grafting you need to get two spieces with the same amount of chromizomes and enough cell compatability( malus + malus, Prunus+ prunus, malus+prunus: the graft
dies) For breeding you also need two spieces ( does not need to be the same) to be compatable and the same amount of chromizomes.

thats why we now have ligers


thats why we now have chery/plum/apricot/necterine/peach trees


That why the girl turn into a cactus
