Haha yea PoM you could've stopped reading if you wanted. Whether we like it or not stuff like that really happens. But yes we all share that sick feeling in the stomach while reading about the horror. Those people are pure evil.

I'm with POM, actually. Is horrifying stuff weird? I suppose so, but it's not the first adjective I'd choose. Pink condoms on public statues? That's weird.

When I've come to this thread in the past, it's been with an expectation to laugh.

Mpreg Central runs website for male pregnancy enthusiasts

http://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/real-l ... 7116826816

PICTURES show the swollen belly and breasts of young mother who looks almost nine months pregnant — only this is no ordinary woman.

The body actually belongs to Tom, a 35-year-old man from Belgium who “loves dressing up pretending to be pregnant,” according to his profile online.

He’s created his own bump and fake breasts filled with water which he wears and posts pictures of to thousands of followers via his website, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube channel. His chirpy updates contain plenty of “belly hugs” and notes on how he loves the feel pregnancy gives him.

And Tom, who claims to have been obsessed with the idea since childhood isn’t alone. He’s one of thousands of “mpreggers” from around the world, men who love the idea of being pregnant and all that it entails.

Naked Man Sleeps And Drinks Whiskey On New York Subway (NSFW)

http://www.ereporter.com.ng/index.php/m ... ubway-nsfw

A naked man wearing only sneakers was observed drinking whiskey and nodding off while riding the New York City subway Thursday night.

Peter Davis, a passenger who took a viral photograph of the birthday-suited rider at around 8:30 p.m., told The Huffington Post the man took "cat naps" between swigs of his bottle.

"A lot of people asked why I didn't call 911," Davis, group executive editor of the Daily Front Row fashion magazine, said to HuffPost. "The reason is that he would have just been arrested. And I'm not a snitch. And I've seen the NYPD handling people sleeping on benches and it isn't friendly."

Davis earlier told the New York Post the man rode the train for at least six stops in Manhattan. Some commuters steered clear of the man perhaps out of fear while others continued to stare at their smartphones, Davis said.

The Post later reported that a woman noted the resemblance between the man on the subway and a man who was photographed nude on a park bench recently -- also wearing similar sneakers. (Huffignton Post)

Keep that shit to places like gore websites, or at the very fucking least, put a link to the story, a small description warning as to what the link is, and allow people to decide if they want to click to it.

Wow. These guys are awesome!

If we left, they wouldn't have nobody

When an assisted living home in California shut down last fall, many of its residents were left behind, with nowhere to go.

The staff at the Valley Springs Manor left when they stopped getting paid — except for cook Maurice Rowland and Miguel Alvarez, the janitor.

"There was about 16 residents left behind, and we had a conversation in the kitchen, 'What are we going to do?' " Rowland says.

"If we left, they wouldn't have nobody," the 34-year-old Alvarez says.

Their roles quickly transformed for the elderly residents, who needed round-the-clock care.

"I would only go home for one hour, take a shower, get dressed, then be there for 24-hour days," says Alvarez.

Rowland, 35, remembers passing out medications during those long days. He says he didn't want to leave the residents — some coping with dementia — to fend for themselves.

How cruel and heartless could an airline get?

http://edition.cnn.com/2014/11/30/trave ... ?hpt=hp_t3

(CNN) -- A woman was kicked off a US Airways flight after the pig she brought for "emotional support" became disruptive, an airline spokeswoman told CNN.

The passenger and her large pig were booted from the flight before it left Connecticut's Bradley International Airport on Wednesday, spokeswoman Laura Masvidal said.

"After the animal became disruptive, the passenger was asked to deplane," she said.

How disruptive? Fellow passengers told the Hartford Courant that the big brown pig stank up the cabin of the tiny DC-bound aircraft before defecating in the aisle.

Phelps watched in amusement and horror as the pig began "dropping things" in the aisle while his owner stowed her belongings. When she tied him to the armrest and tried to clean up after him, he began to howl.
"She was talking to it like a person, saying it was being a jerk," he said. "I have no problems with babies, but this pig was letting out a howl."

Delaine Bassist Otto Schimmelpenninck Suffers Ruptured Testicle Onstage

http://loudwire.com/delain-otto-schimme ... e-onstage/

Delain bassist Otto Schimmelpenninck unfortunately suffered an injury that every man fears. During a show in Birmingham, England, the bassist ruptured a testicle after being hit in the beanbag by a streamer cannon.

Formed in 2002, Delain rose to prominence in the symphonic metal scene, releasing four full-length albums which have all received very positive reviews. The latest from the Nordic act is ‘The Human Contradiction,’ which was released earlier this year via Napalm Records.

As for Otto Schimmelpenninck’s injury, the bassist wrote all about the incident in very explicit detail. Hold your breath, guys:

After what can be described as one of the most unpleasant adventures I’ve ever had to endure, we’re back home again from the UK. As a lot of people are asking about my injuries and lots of friends know what happened already, I figured it would be best to share with you all. before all kinds of versions of this story start to circulate. Spoiler alert: you might want to read this another time if you were planning on having sex within the hour or so.

As some of you know, we use ‘streamer canons’, which shoot silver streamers into the audience, usually during The Gathering. We’ve been using this for ages without any problems at all, but in Birmingham things went wrong.

Since we were with 6 on stage instead of 5, there wasn’t really a standard position on stage. Normally, Charlotte would be stage center, Timo at the singing mic, I at the other side. Having Merel on stage with us meant everyone just had to pay attention at the moment the streamers would shoot. In my enthusiasm I did not pay attention, and happened to be VERY close when the streamer fired. It hit me from the back, in my genitals. Although pain was pretty bad right away, I was merely pissed off at myself for not paying attention. During the next song, pain got worse though, and I had the feeling I was bleeding. Pretty soon pain got to the point where I could barely stay conscious anymore, but for some reason I did manage to finish the show and even squeeze out some grunts!

After the show the damage was more obvious: my scrotum was the size of a big grapefruit and I was in a lot (yeah, really a lot) of pain. I was taken to the nearest hospital where after hours and hours of waiting, I was finally operated around 8:30 in the morning. It appeared here my left testicle had been ruptured as well as some arteries.

More than 500 ml of blood was removed from my scrotum and my testicle stitched up. I stayed in hospital for the rest of day and night, and was discharged on Friday afternoon. From there I took the plane to Glasgow where I was reunited with my girlfriend and the Delain family. Fortunately we had had a very comfortable nightliner and top-notch driver, so I could travel quite comfortably and get some rest until we got home.

I was very close to losing my left testicle, but chances are good it will be fine. It will take about 6 weeks until I can find out though, when I have an ultrasound scan. It will also be a while before I am without the very uncomfortable pain I am in now, but sadly, it’s just the way it is for now. I should be ok well in time for the european tour with Sabaton though.

Again, thank so much for all your get well wishes, support and kind messages, it means a lot to me!
Get well soon, Otto! You’re tougher than any of us could dream of being. Send your own well-wishes to Otto at his personal Facebook page.

woah

Vicksburg| A group of Mississippi hunters who shot and killed an alligator weighting 910 pounds (413 kilograms) on Sunday, were amazed when they discovered that the animal already bore injuries caused by musket ammunitions from the Civil War era. A total of 9 spherical projectiles was found, and the various tests and analysis realized on them have confirmed that they were indeed fired at the animal in the 19th Century.

Nine of the wounds on the animal are believed to have been caused by Enfield Pattern 1853 rifle-muskets. These old injuries were concentrated around the animals tail and hind legs, suggesting that the reptile could have possibly been used as a target for shooting practise by Confederate troops.

The huge animal also bore five other bullet wounds from three different calibers of hunting rifles, as well as many dents and scars, which shows that it survived many firearm injuries in the past. It did not however, survive the six .50-caliber bullets fired at him by the group of amateur hunters from Jackson, who were finally able to take it down.

Woman Spends A Month Knitting From Her Vagina

http://sobadsogood.com/2014/11/30/woman ... f-my-womb/

Self-confessed 'craftivist' Casey Jenkins is causing quite a stir with her performance piece known as 'Casting Off My Womb'.

Not for the squeamish, it involves her placing an entire knitting ball of wool deep inside her vagina, using it to knit various garments over 28 days. She even continues to knit whilst going through menstruation...

“If you take a good, hard look at a vulva, you realize it's just a bit of a body. There's nothing that is shocking or scary, you know, nothing that is going to run out and eat you up

CREVE COEUR, Mo. (AP) -- Fifty-one years ago, Arthur Lampitt of Granite City, Illinois, smashed his 1963 Thunderbird into a truck. This week during surgery in suburban St. Louis, a 7-inch turn signal lever from that T-Bird was removed from his left arm.

Dr. Timothy Lang removed the lever Wednesday during a 45-minute operation. Lampitt, now 75, is recovering at home.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch ( http://bit.ly/1EOtGa6 ) reports that the accident broke Lampitt's hip, drawing attention away from the arm, which healed.

A decade or so ago, his arm set off a metal detector at a courthouse. An X-ray showed a slender object the length of a pencil, but since it caused no pain or hardship, Lampitt was told to let it be.

He was moving concrete blocks a few weeks ago when the arm began to hurt for the first time.

"Everything was fine until it started to get bigger," Lampitt's wife, Betty, said. "The arm started bulging."

Lampitt decided to have surgery. He initially wasn't sure what was in the arm. He wondered if perhaps a medical instrument had been left during the emergency room visit in 1963.

He unearthed a collection of old photos of the mangled Thunderbird taken by a friend at the scene. He noticed the metal blinker lever was missing from the left side of the steering column. He figured that was it, and surgery at City Place Surgery Center in Creve Coeur, Missouri, confirmed it.

"Seven inches long," Lang told Betty.

"Oh, my God," Betty said.

Lang said a protective pocket grew around the lever.

"We see all kinds of foreign objects like nails or pellets, but usually not this large, usually not a turn signal from a 1963 T-Bird," Lang said. "Something this large often gets infected."

Lampitt wasn't sure what he'd do with the lever - maybe make a key chain out of it.

"We'll figure out something, I am sure," he said.

Missing woman unwittingly joins search party looking for herself

http://www.torontosun.com/2012/08/28/mi ... or+herself

A group of tourists spent hours Saturday night looking for a missing woman near Iceland's Eldgja canyon, only to find her among the search party.

The group was travelling through Iceland on a tour bus and stopped near the volcanic canyon in the southern highlands Saturday afternoon, reports the Icelandic news organization mbl.is.

One of the women on the bus left to change her clothes and freshen up. When she came back, her busmates didn't recognize her.

Soon, there was word of a missing passenger. The woman didn't recognize the description of herself, and joined in the search.

About 50 people searched the terrain by vehicles and on foot. The coast guard was even readying a helicopter to help.

But the search was called off at about 3 a.m., when it became clear the missing woman was, in fact, accounted for and searching for herself.
