Wackiest headline of the year?

Wonder if the same thing happened to him?

Well, a mate of mine fell on a wine bottle. There were a few witnesses there at the time - fell over, right on the neck of the bottle, went through his trousers and boxers and straight up his scheissenheimer. The bottle broke, plenty of blood and a trip to A&E ensued. Must've been a 1 in a million chance of that happening.

Read one about an American woman who used a whole potato to keep everything in place, and forgot about it - until, some time later, she went to the doctor complaining about "them green vines in the virginny".

That lends a whole new dimension to 'Carry me back to old Virginny' ...

And Dem/mynah, regarding the cellphones ... the punters usually present to A&E requesting not removal, but a simple battery change

In situ?

That would require some dexterity.

True, couldn't happen without fingering a suspect.

There's so many questions I want to ask........

Touching story. I interviewed a wonderful guy with the same condition once. Don't know why the URL says "multiple sclerosis", though?

Try this for wacky:

Red Sox Rout Indians 11-2 to Advance to World Series

The Red Sox will host the Colorado Rockies in the World
Series opener Wednesday night at Fenway Park.

How many countries are participating?
How often is the final played on another continent?
How many winners have come from outside the US?
How many Americans know that where is a world beyond their borders?

The newspaper "The World" sponsored it in it's early stages - hence the World Series.

But most Yankee fat-heads probably don't know that either and probably think the whole world plays baseball, but just aren't good enough to compete.

Actually a Canadian team has won it.

Actually, that's not true, Batstink. It was referred to as the World's Championship Series initially becasue no other country played it at that time. The winner would, by default, be champions of the world.

Sorry tac, do you have a reference for that?

I have always heard it the same way as BB

Ah , so It is international, like those hotels back home in the seventies. Meant the black guy walking down the corridor was not necessarily a porter, but possibly Denzil Washington.

The Toronto Blue-Jays won it about 10 years ago. The Americans sooked like there was a sooking competition between Smith, Ponting and Ganguly.

Tac, sticking to my story unless you have some other link type she-it.
