We gather here today...

...to read even more stories about how damn odd the world really is. A 50-year-old man in Reno, after carefully studying a 'how-to' online, successfully castrated himself. “The man obviously needs some sort of counseling,” Reno police Lt. Ron Donnelly said.

In Roswell, New Mexico, a 71-year-old woman was pulled over for a routine traffic stop. This led to the discovery of more than 60 sick and hungry cats in the back of a moving van. One would assume the smell gave the officers just cause to search the van.

In Chongju, South Korea, a fish, the result of artificial insemination between a carp and ayu sweetfish, seems to have developed patterning resembling that of a human being.



A Neapolitan mastiff in Manea, United Kingdom, has broken a world record by giving birth to a litter of 24 mastiff puppies. Double ouch.



And, on a somewhat similar note, a woman in Brazil has given birth to a giant baby. No, not bigfoot's baby. A really, large human baby.
It's a boy, weighing 16.7 pounds. Yes, it was by caesarian.
I'm wincing just looking at that photo.

'Yorkshire Ripper' Peter Sutcliffe, (who bares a striking resemblance to author Stephen Booth), sentenced to life in prison for the murder of 13 women, was allowed out of prison for a few hours to visit the place where his father's ashes were scattered last year.

Paris is pissed. Not drunk, just really, really mad!

Oh, and the President was inaugurated. Again. Some were visibly displeased.
