Man Undergoes Emergency Surgery for 21-Day Erection:

Surgeons saved a man’s life after a three week erection nearly killed him, The Sun reported Wednesday.

The businessman, 55, was forced to undergo an emergency operation after his problem persisted for a staggering 21 days.

Doctors at a hospital in Kolkata, India, eventually performed the surgery to put the middle-aged man out of his misery.

But although the hour-long operation was successful, it rendered the man impotent.

Doctor Avishek Mukherjee said: “It was very late when the man sought treatment.

“The treatment has to be sought within six hours, otherwise it could even lead to death, besides the degeneration of the penis.”

Grave robbers steal ex-president’s body:

Thieves opened the grave of former Cypriot president Tassos Papadopoulos and stole his corpse during the night, state television has reported, interrupting its normal programming.

The current leader of Mr Papadopoulos’s centre-right DIKO party, Marios Garoyan, has condemned what he called a “heinous and terrible crime”.

Andros Kyprianou, head of the communist AKEL party that leads the Mediterranean island’s government, expressed outrage at the crime, which came the day before a memorial service had to be held to mark the first anniversary of Mr Papadopoulos’s death.

“I don’t know what kind of people would create such a terrible crime and steal a corpse,” he said.

A man was rushed to hospital after telling doctors how his best friend bit his penis off in a row – and swallowed it.

‘He began hitting me with a chain and then pulled down my trousers and started biting. It was agony,’ he said.

India to launch cow urine as soft drink (no, we’re not taking the p***)

Does your Pepsi lack pep? Is your Coke not the real thing? India’s Hindu nationalist movement apparently has the answer: a new soft drink made from cow urine.

The bovine brew is in the final stages of development by the Cow Protection Department of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), India’s biggest and oldest Hindu nationalist group, according to the man who makes it.

 Om Prakash, the head of the department, said the drink – called “gau jal”, or “cow water” – in Sanskrit was undergoing laboratory tests and would be launched “very soon, maybe by the end of this year”.

“Don’t worry, it won’t smell like urine and will be tasty too,” he told The Times from his headquarters in Hardwar, one of four holy cities on the River Ganges. “Its USP will be that it’s going to be very healthy. It won’t be like carbonated drinks and would be devoid of any toxins.”

Video of a British army soldier biting the head off a live chicken during a survival training exercise 

CHEERED on by baying soldiers, a British Army officer BITES the head off a live chicken in a sickening training exercise filmed by his own men.

Shamefully the senior lieutenant serving in Iraq then KICKS its wildly-flailing body, spits out the head, and shouts “f***er” at the dying bird.

 In the exclusive video footage obtained by the News of the World, the pathetic creature is seen seconds later still flapping pitifully in its death throes.

 Minutes earlier ANOTHER high-ranking soldier, a sergeant major responsible for discipline amongst the soldiers, had also performed the gruesome stunt to the perverse delight of the men he controls.

Sydney couple’s ‘bat and maggot’ wedding hell at Peppers Creek in Hunter Valley

FRIENDS, family, fine wine, a $30,000 investment and a year and a half of planning: it should have been the perfect Hunter Valley wedding

 But Sydney couple Steve and Leigh Buttel claim unwanted guests – including maggots in their wedding bed and bedroom invasions by bats – turned their wedding into a bride’s worst nightmare.

 The couple and family members arrived at Peppers Creek on November 28, a day before the wedding.

They stayed in accommodation known as The Yacht Club and The Racquet Club, which is made up of four separate cottages adjacent to Peppers Creek Village.

By the time the group left three days later, the newlyweds had allegedly found maggots described by the groom as “the size of chocolate bullets” in their wedding bed and a dead bat, covered in maggots, above their bedhead.

Woman takes a 2-year toilet break:

Deputies said a woman in western Kansas sat on her boyfriend’s toilet for two years, and they’re investigating whether she was mistreated.

Ness County Sheriff Bryan Whipple said a man called his office last month to report that something was wrong with his girlfriend.

Whipple said it appeared the 35-year-old Ness City woman’s skin had grown around the seat. She initially refused emergency medical services but was finally convinced by responders and her boyfriend that she needed to be checked out at a hospital.

 “We pried the toilet seat off with a pry bar and the seat went with her to the hospital,” Whipple said. “The hospital removed it.”

Whipple said investigators planned to present their report Wednesday to the county attorney, who will determine whether any charges should be filed against the woman’s 36-year-old boyfriend.

Police: Suspicious wife who demands to smell husband’s genitals beaten

Police are seeking an arrest warrant for a man accused of hitting his wife after she asked to smell his penis to determine whether he was cheating with another woman, according to a police report released Wednesday.

The 37-year-old victim told investigators her husband of three years punched her face and kicked her arms and legs Monday night after she accused him of having an affair.

The victim said she told her 25-year-old husband as he used the restroom “to display his penis to her so that she can smell it,” the report states.

Hens eggs exploding because of hot-air balloons

Abbi Vincent-Lloyd said she lost 30 hens on days when balloons were flying low over her Herefordshire farm. She claimed the stress of seeing the enormous balloons overhead caused them to run for cover. It is as they desperately try to find shelter that they bump into each other or their surroundings, exploding the eggs inside them, she said. This in turn causes an infection, which is thought to have led to scores of them dying. Miss Vincent-Lloyd, 32, said post mortems of the animals revealed they had died from peritonitis, developed from the egg being released inside them. She said: “I had lost about 15 birds when I decided to have the vet do a post mortem on two of them. “I told the vet about the hot-air balloons and jets flying low over the farm and straight away he said that was the cause. “As soon as the gas is released to raise the balloon they go absolutely crazy. “It is absolute chaos, when they go into anything and that causes the egg to explode inside them.

Restaurant drops plan to cook with breast milk:

Talk about a Swiss miss. A gourmet chef’s plans to whip up a number of delicacies using human breast milk have dried up. Hans Lochen, proprietor of the Storchen restaurant in Iberg, Switzerland, advertised in German newspapers seeking women willing to sell him their milk.

But Swiss authorities stepped in and threatened lawsuits against the chef and any potential donor willing to pump for cash. Before he cooked up his daring culinary scheme, Locher had been doing a little private recipe testing, he claims. Preparing such entrees as breast milk lamb curry and antelope steak with chanterelle sauce spiked with cognac and breast milk had drawn rave reviews: his friends loved the creamy entrees, Locher says.

The horrific moment Olympic weightlifter turns his elbow back to front

This is the moment Hungarian weightlifter Janos Baranyai’s first Olympics ended in agony when he dislocated his right elbow in the ugliest moment yet of the Olympic weightlifting competition.

Baranyai was trying to snatch 148kg in his third lift in the men’s 77kg division, when his elbow popped out of its socket.

No longer able to support the weight of the barbell, his right forearm bent backward. The 24-year-old Hungarian fell to the floor in shock, shaking and crying out in pain.

Hungary’s coaching staff and competition officials rushed to Baranyai’s aid as he lay trembling on the floor, his arm limp and twisted out of position.
