Sleeping beauty 2012

An exhibit at Ukraine's National Art Museum has captured the world's attention - five women posing as sleeping beauties. 

The concept was that suitors kiss the women and if she woke, they'd be contractually obligated to get married. 

One of the sleeping beauties actually woke up to an unexpected suitor, a woman. The model, Yana Gurzhiy, says "It was a very quick moment, and I didn't think about it for a long time. It happened in a second and I opened my eyes. When I saw a girl in front of me, I was naturally surprised, but I would also have been surprised if it had been a strange man.

" The artist behind the installation, Taras Polataiko, says that he hopes the kiss will encourage conversation about changing Ukraine's same-sex marriage ban, though he doesn't expect the two women to wed.

Biologists plan to study the earthworm found by Li to classify it and identify the reason it was able to grow to its current length.
