I would need at least $1 million
A Romanian man who now only has a
purely aesthetic piece of muscle attached where his penis used to be has been awarded $795,000.
In July 2004, Dr. Naum Ciomu made a surgical error while operating on the man’s testicles, severing the penis instead of making an incision to the testicle.
The Bucharest Magistrates Court ruled Friday that Ciomu had been “superficial” in his approach to the operation, ordered the fine and handed Ciomu a one-year suspended prison sentence. The ruling can be appealed
That is quite a slip of the wrist… A horrible, horrible slip of the wrist.
Old man says entire country is driving too fast
An influential old man (pictured here) is wondering if a national speed limit of 55 mph should be imposed.
Warner cited studies that showed the 55 mph speed limit saved 167,000 barrels of oil a day, or 2 percent of the country’s highway fuel consumption, while avoiding up to 4,000 traffic deaths a year.
There was no mention of Warner asking for Homeland Security to see about getting “all those damn kids” off of his lawn.
I wonder if the people behind the remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still understand what makes the original so great. Judging by the trailer, I’m going to guess, absolutely not.
Scott Derrickson, the film’s director, will also be involved in a remake of The Birds and a film adaptation of Paradise Lost. His past credits include the straight to video Hellraiser: Inferno, and The Exorcism of Emily Rose. I think it’s a fair assessment to call him the worst.
Empathy will rule my future

Watch this child hurt himself = awesome

Me:
How old is that kid, 7?
-
Dot:
I don't know but it's great
-
Me:
I actually feel bad for this kid (weird I know), but that thud when his head hit was louder than anything else in the video. And was that his dad filming him? He didn't even seem to care. The horrors of that video will haunt my dreams for years to come.

Dot:
Francis chided suze and myself for laffing so hard = yeah, I think it was a relative, which begs the question, why the person (dad/touchy uncle, etc.) seemed like he couldn't care less.
-
Dot:
The only thing I can think is maybe it's an older sibling (?)
-
Dot:
Fatherhood/family member fail.
-
Me:
Yeah, I'd say the big fail was on the kid's family. For even letting him attempt that.
-
Me:
It appears I'm getting softer as I get older. By the time I"m 30 i'll probably be writing for Parents magazine about the horrors of whole milk, non-organic fruit, and how to protect your child when trick-or-treating. (Spoiler: Don't let them go, you can have a Harvest festival party at your house instead with apples and carrot sticks!)

Plus Halloween = devil worship
Finally, something to improve my chances with the ladies.
I bought said pants to impress the stuffy-Muffys at the boat club. With collar popped, sunglasses atop my head, and martini in hand, I proceeded to hit on everything, but returned with nothing. Stupid pants.
Oh, maybe not.
I’m not impartial to this fight in any way, but it does prove my theory that Tumblr’s reblog feature does more harm than good.
I present incontrovertible proof that your typical wal-mart and costco shoppers
are in-fact some of the dumbest people on earth.
Mary Tilton tried to educate the public a few days ago as she stood at a Sam’s Club in North Canton, about 50 miles south of Cleveland, luring shoppers with chocolate chip cookies and milk as she showed them how to pour from the new jugs.
“Just tilt it slowly and pour slowly,” Ms. Tilton said to passing customers as she talked about the jugs’ environmental benefits and cost savings. Instead of picking up the jug, as most people tend to do, she kept it on a table and gently tipped it toward a cup.
Mike Compston, who owns a dairy in Yerington, Nev., described the pouring technique in a telephone interview as a “rock-and-pour instead of a lift-and-tip.”
However, I am very happy the article avoided the phrase, “crying over spilled milk.”
I can’t possibly add to this story in any way, but really should be read.

A prostitute poses for photographers after modeling on the “Bitch Catwalk” yesterday in Spain. The hooker model show was part of rally against gentrification.
“It’s also a proposal for ladies of the night and normal people to live together,” added Dayanara, who has been a sex worker since arriving from Ecuador seven years ago.
