Man bites off own appendage
Damiene Iriarte apparently has one thing going for himself - flexibility.
The 26-year-old convicted child molester bit off the tip of his own wee wee, The New York Daily News reported Wednesday, April 15.
“How he did it? Limber, I guess. Not the work of a sane mind,” police told the newspaper.
Iriarte was taken to the hospital after being found naked and bleeding behind a Brooklyn building.
He was charged with raping a 13-year-old girl in 2003, but pleaded guilty to two misdemeanors and was sentenced to 60 days in jail and probation, the newspaper reported.
And in other penis news:
A 26-year-old Swedish woman is charged with illegal weapons possession, attempted assault, illegal threats, and abuse.
The woman allegedly threatened to castrate her ex-boyfriend’s genitals with a stun gun, The Local reported.
The woman fired the weapon, but the man lunged back just in the nick of time.

Wear your PJs to work today
Today is the only day it is appropriate to leave the house in PJs.
It’s National Wear Your Pajamas to Work Day.
The holiday has got to be legitimate. It has its very own website at National Wear Your Pajamas To Work Day.
“If you’ve just paid your taxes you deserve an ULTRA-CASUAL day, don’t you?” the site says.
Observers are encouraged to sitting around with the boss drinking coffee and eating doughnuts, the holiday’s official food. Obviously this holidays was created by the greeting card industry to sale PJs.
And you thought they would stop at Sweetest Day.
