Woman calls police after hubby, 82, takes Viagra
|
An 82-year-old Italian man who took a Viagra pill scared his wife so much she called the police.
Giovanni di Stefano, from Palermo, was so excited his wife thought he would have a heart attack and dialled 999.
"The police didn't do anything but their presence had the desired effect. He lost interest in his love life pretty quickly," said a family friend.
Terrified wife Carla, 69, told police: "He is 82-years-old and so I thought so much love could have lethal consequences."
'Man' gives birth - again
A US man who was born a woman before undergoing gender realignment surgery has given birth to his second child.
Thomas Beatie, who is legally male but decided to keep his female sex organs, attracted worldwide headlines last year after revealing his first pregnancy.
The 35-year-old gave birth to a baby girl in Oregon last July and this week celebrated the arrival of a baby boy, ABC News reports.
Mr Beatie was last year dubbed the 'pregnant man' after appearing on Oprah Winfrey's talk show to discuss his pregnancy.
"I feel it's not a male or female desire to have a child. It's a human need. I'm a person and I have the right to have a biological child," he said.
Mr Beatie revealed that he'd been "shocked" by the amount of publicity the couple had received, insisting they were just like any other family.
"We are a man, woman and child. It's ironic that we are so different but yet, we're just a family, just the same as anyone else," he said.
When asked why he made many people uneasy, he said, "I think that people are not used to seeing the image of a pregnant man."

Two women who work for the same company but in different cities believe they are identical twins after a chance encounter.
It came about after the owner of a fashion shop in Xiamen in southern China's Fujian province went to inspect a branch shop in Quangang, reports Chutian Metropolis News.
He was amazed to find what appeared to be a worker from his headquarters working there without his permission, "I thought she must have been dispatched from HQ, since she looked exactly the same as my other staff member," said the company owner.
When Zhuang Yanhong and Gong Jingjing, both 18, met up, it turned out they were almost identical - both even had four moles in the same place on their right hands - but their home towns were thousands of miles apart.
"We even have the same features, hobbies and habits," said Zhuang Yanhong.
The pair initially thought it was just an amazing coincidence. Zhuang is an adopted child from Jiangxi, while Gong, had always thought her parents were her biological parents.
But then she got the surprising news from her parents that she too had been adopted from Jiangxi. The girls are now convinced they are twins - although Gong added: "We don't want to do DNA tests. No matter what happens, we are sisters."
One reader commented, ‘They must all be related, because they all look the fuc##ng same to me'.
Bike sex man placed on probation
A man caught trying to have sex with his bicycle has been sentenced to three years on probation.
Robert Stewart, 51, admitted a sexually aggravated breach of the peace by conducting himself in a disorderly manner and simulating sex. Sheriff Colin Miller also placed Stewart on the Sex Offenders Register for three years.
Mr Stewart was caught in the act with his bicycle by cleaners in his bedroom at the Aberley House Hostel in Ayr. Gail Davidson, prosecuting, told Ayr Sheriff Court: "They knocked on the door several times and there was no reply".
"They used a master key to unlock the door and they then observed the accused wearing only a white t-shirt, naked from the waist down.
"The accused was holding the bike and moving his hips back and forth as if to simulate sex."
Both cleaners, who were "extremely shocked", told the hostel manager who called police.
Sheriff Colin Miller told Stewart: "In almost four decades in the law I thought I had come across every perversion known to mankind, but this is a new one on me. I have never heard of a 'cycle-sexualist'."
Stewart had denied the offence, claiming it was caused by a misunderstanding after he had too much to drink. The bachelor had been living in the hostel since October 2006 after moving from his council house in Girvan.
He now lives in Ayr.
Stewart has given new meaning to the Queen song, 'I Want To Ride My Bicycle'.
He is not the first man to be convicted of a sexual offence involving an inanimate object, however. Karl Watkins, an electrician, was jailed for having sex with pavements in Redditch, Worcs, in 1993.
Even when you are having a really bad day,
Someone will still screw you!

Sudanese goat wife pops her hooves
|
The caprine wife of a Sudanese goat molester has died suddenly after more than a year of marriage, the BBC reports.
Mrs Tombe, née Rose (a goat), got hitched in a shotgun wedding ceremony after her future husband was caught indulging in pre-marital sexual relations with the animal. Her owner, Mr Alifi, "described how he heard a noise outside his house and rushed out to find one Mr Tombe going at his hammer-and-tongs with the unfortunate beast", as we reported at the time.
He recounted: "When I asked him: 'What are you doing there?' he fell off the back of the goat, so I captured and tied him up."Alifi consulted local elders in the southern city of Juba, who duly returned their verdict. Alifi explained: "They said I should not take him to the police, but rather let him pay a dowry for my goat because he used it as his wife." Charles Tombe had to stump up about 40 quid for Rose, but was later reported happily settled with his missus. Alifi concluded: "We have given him the goat, and as far as we know they are still together."
Sadly, it appears this wedded bliss didn't last. Rose reportedly died "after choking on a plastic bag she swallowed as she was eating scraps on the streets of Juba". She leaves one kid, a 100 per cent goat male, suggesting infidelity may have played a part in her ejection from the marital home.
A Chinese grandmother has a five inch horn growing out of her forehead.
The horn curves downward and looks like the stalk of a pumpkin, reports the Yangcheng Evening Post.
Granny Zhao, 95, of Zhanjiang city, Guangdong province, says it first appeared three years ago.
"At first, it was only a mole, but it gradually grew and became like a horn," she said.
Zhao says the horn causes her little trouble except to affect her vision slightly: "It causes me no discomfort, but blocks part of my view."
But her family are hoping that medical experts can explain the phenomenon.
We asked her if she was in any way connected to Mr and Mrs Tombe mentioned in the previous article, but she refused to comment.

Bulgarian 'Scot' on the run
|
Bulgaria's famous marauding 'Scotsman' has gone on the run after breaking out of a high security jail.
Connor 'The Highlander' MacLeod, 24, who was born Ivan Yordanov, changed his name after the hero of the Highlander movies.
MacLeod carried a Claymore and used it to carry out dozens of armed robberies, netting thousands of pounds before Bulgarian police finally caught up with him.
But now the Bulgarian 'Scot' has gone on the run again after escaping from a high security jail in the capital Sofia where he was serving a seven year sentence.
Two chickens have become well known in China for their skills with a football.
Owner Ms Zhang says the two bantams have become addicted to the game.
"I found an unwanted football on the way home around three months ago, and brought it home and kicked it to the two cocks. They were scared at first," she told the People's Daily.
But after a while, the chickens started to play with and fight for the ball.
"I now bring them downstairs everyday to play football. They are quite addicted to the sport," she added.
"They know how to break through, slide-tackle, and make a fair charge."

Spiders lived in boys head
|
A US boy who kept hearing popping and crackling sounds was stunned to find two spiders living inside his ear.
Jesse Courtney, nine, of Albany, Oregon, had complained to his mum about the "Rice Krispies" sound.
She took him to the doctor who discovered the problem was caused by spiders nesting in his ear canal.
The pair of them were flushed out with water, reports The Sun.
Jesse said: "They were walking on my eardrum and I kept hearing this popping sound like Rice Krispies.
"The doctor gave them to me to keep as a souvenir and I have taken them to school to show my friends.
"It was really interesting. I mean, spiders living in my ear - how many other kids can say that!"
Jesse's mum Diane said: "My first reaction was to go home and bomb the house."
She thinks the spiders got into Jesse's ear as they weeded the garden together.
Fancy a Curry?
A Scottish woman has pleaded guilty to "culpable and reckless conduct" after serving her estranged husband a curry laced with dog excrement, the BBC reports.
Jill Martin, 47, admitted that on 13 March she served up the novel dish to Donald Martin and "burst out laughing" when he started to eat it. At first she "claimed she had laced the dish with arsenic, but then confessed she had added dog excrement instead".
Paisley Sheriff Court heard that at the time of the incident, Mrs Martin believed her husband "had started an affair, although those fears turned out to be unfounded". The couple had been married for 21 years, but their relationship had "hit an all time low".
Defence solicitor Terry Gallanagh said his client had suffered "continued mental abuse" over roughly five years which had "taken its toll on her". He added that "Mr Martin had routinely questioned his wife's parental skills and had started a new business venture without her knowledge".
Mrs Martin was arrested following the offence, and "banned from going anywhere near her husband or the matrimonial home in Newton Mearns". Following the guilty plea, the Sheriff deferred sentence until 1 November, saying he felt "it would be wise to allow more time for matters to be resolved and [ordering] Martin to be of good behaviour"
 Should Mr Martin ever be allowed to return home,
Mrs Martin already has plans for his next meal!
A Chinese woman claims her cat has grown wings.
Granny Feng's tom cat has sprouted two hairy 4ins long wings, reports the Huashang News.
"At first, they were just two bumps, but they started to grow quickly, and after a month there were two wings," she said.
Feng, of Xianyang city, Shaanxi province, says the wings, which contain bones, make her pet look like a 'cat angel'.
Her explanation is that the cat sprouted the wings after being sexually harassed.
"A month ago, many female cats in heat came to harass him, and then the wings started to grow," she said.
However, experts say the phenomenon is more likely down to a gene mutation, and say it shouldn't prevent the cat living a normal life.

Mickey Mouse-shaped tomato

His fellow villagers all say they have never seen a tomato like it, reports People's Daily.

 A US mother-of-three has invented a sex toy that connects to a vacuum cleaner to give an orgasm in just ten seconds.
The gadget, called Vortex Vibrations, works by concentrating the air flow to create a rapid and gentle vibration, reports the Sun.
Inventor Joanne Drysdale claims it can give multiple, back-to-back orgasms lasting up to a minute a time - and it does not even touch the skin.
The 49-year-old former toolmaker was cleaning her carpets when she came up with the idea for Vortex, which sells for £35 through lovehoney.co.uk.
She saw how a piece of rubber that had got caught in the nozzle was gently resonating in the air flow. She also felt a soft stimulation to her fingertips as she tried to remove the rubber.
At the time Joanne, from Utah, had not had sex for 15 years following her divorce.
She said: "In my attempts to alleviate frustration, I began to think what I could do. I noticed how the rubber moved in the top of the vacuum.
"After several hours, I came up with the prototype. The first time I tried it I reached an orgasm within 10 seconds.
"That was when I knew I was on to something that could potentially bring pleasure to all women."
We called Mrs Drysdale and asked her if she was thinking of adapting her invention so that it could be used on the male organ and she said, "It would be a waste of time, as most men seem to have no problem reaching an orgasm within 10 seconds."
