“While fingering her I noticed something very odd on the right interior wall of her vagina. I thought maybe it was a tumor or some sort of growth, then I noticed it moved around. It was pretty small… definitely not a forgotten tampon. There was something suspicious going on. I asked myself… when the hell is the point in time when you just give up trying to get something out of your vagina. Like… if you’re cleaning it and something gets stuck, what is it, 5 minutes? 10 minutes? When you just say “fuck it” and leave it there for your body to absorb? There was SOMETHING of chunky nature lodged in the corner of her vag. She must have put it there. Did she forget about it? Maybe she has ADD and it kicked in at an awkward moment… I thought it might have been poop at first but then I realized that didn’t make any sense. What the hell is going on? I end up fingering her more, she’s squirming, then I ninja this mystery artifact out of her vagina. I didn’t want to embarrass her so I just covertly threw it under my bed for later analysis. Maybe she noticed and didn’t say anything. Either way I’m excited, curious, and scared all at the same time. For the rest of the night all I could think about was “what the fuck did I just put under my bed.” I was fucking her and I thought about this. I was kissing her and I thought about it. When we were done I just sat there and thought about it. What the hell was that thing?… It’s time to find out.” w/ photos

“A concrete worker walked into a hospital with his arm in a yellow bin bag after it was torn off by heavy machinery – and calmly asked docs to sew it back on again. Romanian Miheal Ionescu, 51, who works at a factory making concrete at Iasi in northern Romania, had his arm ripped off in the work accident, and stuffed it in a bin bag – before getting a pal to drive him to the hospital. Nine doctors then spent 12 hours working to reattach the arm of the man from Falticeni. Hospital spokesman Doctor Tudor Ciuhodaru at the local St John’s Hospital in the city said: “The man was clearly in shock, which is why he could remain so calm. He is now in intensive care.” w/ photos

“A baby elephant was saved by its herd after being caught by the trunk by a crocodile. The scene was captured by amateur photographer Johan Opperman while taking pictures of a family of African bush elephants grazing by a water hole and cooling down. Under the watchful eye of its family, the young elephant headed to the edge of the waterhole to grab a drink. However, a crocodile pounced on the youngster, hoping for a kill by locking its jaws around its trunk. Hearing the baby’s distress calls, the herd of elephants scared off the reptile by trumpeting and stamping around. After the attack the herd stayed with the youngster. Once the herd decided all was well, they crossed the dam together, just a few feet from where the crocodile had been hiding.” w/ photo

“Manila is one of the world’s most overpopulated cities. The Philippine capital is stretched to breaking point, with mothers four to a bed in maternity wards, primary schools with a thousand children in each year, and graveyards with no more room to bury the dead. As the world faces an overpopulation crisis, Manila provides a vision of what might become ordinary in the not too distant future. The biggest maternity hospital in the city operates on an industrial scale, with four mothers and their babies sharing each bed. The ward is at double capacity when the team arrive, and it’s so overcrowded that the nurses have to patrol it to make sure no one is sleeping on their babies and suffocating them.”

“Balancing your laptop on your knees could cause permanent discoloration of the skin and, in rare cases, cancer, doctors have warned. The heat generated by the computers can cause a nettle sting-like rash – a condition named ‘toasted skin syndrome’. Common in the days before central heating, when people huddled around fires and electric heaters to stay warm, it is making a comeback in the laptop generation. In one recent case, a 12-year-old boy developed a sponge-patterned skin discoloration on his left thigh after playing computer games for a few hours every day for several months. ‘He recognized that the laptop got hot on the left side, however, regardless of that, he did not change its position,’ Swiss researchers wrote in the medical-journal Pediatrics. Another case involved an American law student with a mottled discoloration on her leg. Her doctors were stumped until they learned she spent about six hours a day working with her computer propped on her lap.” w/ photos
