With the cruise, Halloween and all the excitement around the house this last month I have been ignoring world news.
Organizers of an upcoming Pennsylvania UFO conference said
topics up for discussion at the event will include the possibility that Bigfoot
could be an alien.
Fred Saluga, West Virginia
state director and Pennsylvania
regional director for the Mutual UFO Network, said the group's seventh annual
Pittsburgh UFO-Creature Conference will feature a "Bigfoot and Mysterious
Creatures" presentation questioning whether the legendary Sasquatch could
be a visitor from another world.
"There are two different fields of thought with
Bigfoot: one that Bigfoot is flesh and blood and, two, that he is
inter-dimensional or alien. Researchers should keep an open mind until hard
evidence is available."
It's comforting to know so many people are passionate about the more important things in life.
A
French doctor whose penis enlargement procedure left a patient with an irregularity in his sexual organ was suspended by a disciplinary
board.
The doctor, whose name was not released,
admitted to using too much Botox during the procedure and he refunded
the $1,267 payment for the enlargement.
However, the patient, who sought medical attention for an irregularity he noticed in his penis after the procedure,
filed a formal complaint and the case went before a disciplinary board.
The board suspended the doctor's medical license for two months.
The ruling said the same physician had previously been called before the board
for a similar case.
The doctor's lawyer, Tomas LeCorre unsuccessfully argued
the doctor should not be suspended because the problems with the procedure were
merely aesthetic in nature.
"He said he had a hot date that evening. It was at the pressing demand of the patient that the
procedure occur rapidly," Le Corre said. "The bad aesthetic result of
the procedure shouldn't give rise to a disciplinary sanction. The end result here is the penis works. And if you want my opinion who wouldn't want one that looks like it's wearing a hat."
Now I happen to think my wife is worth her weight in gold.
Organizers of the North American Wife Carrying Championship in Maine said the winner
will receive their wife's weight in beer and five times her weight in cash.
The event will also offer prizes for the team with the
greatest combined weight and the spousal pairing with the greatest combined
age.
Mr. Lloyd Michaud, president of the group, when speaking to potential sponsors said they considered adding weight and age limitations this year. "Yes, we had tragedy last year we don't want to repeat but given all the facts our lawyers decided as long as our contestants sign proper waivers they are free to compete."
In the combined weight category in 2013 one couple broke down thirty yards from the finish line. The husband suffered a broken leg and the wife a concussion. Also that same year 92-year-old Mr. Tillis Kellet, who rumor has it does not drink and is more than financially secure, collapsed and died while hoisting his 26-year-old wife over his shoulder.
The newly windowed Mrs. Kellet was visibly upset. "I told him there were better ways of showing me off. Dinner at one of Maine's finest would have been nice but no he was insistent. He was a kind man. I really and truly loved him."
Researchers in South Africa said a female cyclist was diagnosed with a cyclist's nodule -- a condition often referred to as a "third testicle" because it manifests as a "tender, firm, soft-tissue nodule" measuring about 1.18 inches in diameter "in the paramedian region of the perineum."
The team wrote in the South African Journal of Sports Medicine it was unusual for the condition, which is caused by friction, to be diagnosed in a woman, but the 29-year-old female patient complaining of a painful mass was found to have developed a cyclist's nodule.
The researchers said the condition is treated with steroids and, in severe cases, surgery. Patients often give up cycling as a result of the condition, but the woman, who was treated without surgery, told doctors she was able to successfully avoid discomfort by changing her bicycle seat.
Coming from a medical background I can say there is nothing less interesting than the paramedian region of the perineum.
I read this story and thought it rather ironic that a cyclist can be treated with steroids in addition to a female with a condition called a third testicle.
I also remembered all the stories I heard as a kid about girls and bicycle seats and wondered if they were true.
There was that problem back in 2002.
Mattel discontinued the battery-operated vibrating Nimbus 2000 Harry Potter inspired broom that featured a grooved stick and handle for
kids who wanted to ride it around the house.
"I'm 32 and enjoy riding the broom as much as my 12
yr old and 7 year old," wrote one satisfied customer.
And then I thought about this:
This is a scene from My Big Fat Greek Wedding, a favorite film of mine.
This is the second time I've taken advantage of my newly found discovery, how to post YouTube video on the blog. I don't know if this ability is because of some new technology on the part of my host or it took me four years to notice and click on the proper icon.
I've managed without YouTube all this time. Now I'm concerned, especially after my all photo blog on Cat Day, I'll get lazy and forgo the written word for visuals like so many other media and communication outlets.
Initially I thought I would write a scene description.
I know a little Greek.
A guy about 5'3" named Shorty, Oopa and Ouzo but I have no idea how to say "I have three testicles" in the language.
So I did a search.
I typed: How do you say I have three
And Google auto added: testicles in Greek
Testicles rarely come in groups of three.
Pawn shop signs have three balls, gaucho boleadora have three balls, the Stooges had three guys but testicles usually come in pairs.
Does this computer know me so well that it assumes this is what I want to know?
Écho̱ treis órcheis
It is a tad unsettling.
