Found Stuff

OK, on the trail of bizarre news, we came across this little gem

The story is summarised as follows, originally printed in The Telegraph

Apparently this guy turned up at Southampton General Hospital, with his penis stuck fast in a stainless steel pipe.  Staff could do nothing with it, since the loss of blood flow ’caused him to be aroused’ making removal impossible.

The quick-thinking staff called the Fire Service, and it took 7 firefighters armed with a 4½” grinder a blistering 30 minutes to cut the pipe away from the afflicted patient.

The guy is said to have no permanent damage, just a bit of swelling and bruising.

The only dampener on the story is, the guy never explained the story behind his predicament….. but I think we can hazard a guess !!

I don’t think I fancy a metal grinder so close to my assets, and the heat it would generate has to be a mite uncomfortable….. but then I’m not really one for sticking my manhood into metal pipes in the first place.

Having a background in the Health Service, I have heard stories of this type of thing, but this is the first confirmed version I have come across.  Please feel free to email us with any bizarre stories you come across (though we will require a supporting link before we can publish).

This has gotta be one of the worst ways to die I have ever heard……

As reported in The Straits Times (Singapore), a vietnamese worker and two colleagues who went to his aid suffocated to death inside a vat of fish sauce, police and news reports said on Monday.

The accident happened Saturday at a fish sauce plant in Cam Ranh township of coastal Khanh Hoa province.

One worker got into trouble after climbing in to fix a pipe, prompting his co-workers to try to rescue him, the Nong Nghiep (Agriculture) Vietnam newspaper reported.

All three died on the spot, it said.

Police were still investigating the deaths, the policeman told AFP.

Vietnamese fish sauce, a widely-used condiment, is made from a mix of anchovies and salt which is left to distil for more than a year in three-metre-high (10-feet-high) wooden vats.{{/linkXL}}

This is a little clip we were pointed to today, and whilst it is kind of funny, it also has some serious implications attached….

Dunno peoples thoughts on this in the USA, but it certainly doesn’t paint a good picture to the rest of us in Europe.

Anyway, I see we have gone a slightly different direction today on this blog, and we are posting interesting, rather than funny stuff. An interesting turn for us, but we are still not getting involved in any political statements, merely providing the information as we receive it.

Scary stuff, and a fitting ‘end’ to a burglar’s activities

This guy climbed a tree to break into a South African Museum. As he moved around the trees, he set the alarm off, and tried then to make his escape.

He slipped from one of the trees, and ended up impaled on a fence (as per pics below). His screams finally alerted a guy who was driving past, and the alarm was raised.

The Police and Fire Service finally got the guy removed from the fence, by cutting the 30cm long spike off the fence, and rushing both the potential robber and it to the hospital.

Damage to him we know no real details of, but I would assume his intestines were given a bit of damage, and he will not be breaking into anywhere in the near future.

The guy was named as Siyana Pasiwe (aged 32) and he was arrested, though he will not stand trial until he has recovered from his injuries.

Enough, lets get to the pics

Who says there is no justice, eh?
