Baby Out: Philippines Doctors’ Rectum Surgery Video

PHILIPPINE doctors are in good spirits, laughing as they remove a 6-inch long canister from the male patient’s rectum.

“Baby out!” says one medic as the object is removed.

The doctor then removes the canister cap and sprays the contents toward the crowd of nurses and doctors viewing the procedure.

A video of the event can be seen after the break.

The patient is not best pleased at having his less good side shown to camera. Lawyers have been instructed to act on his behalf.

Dr. Jose Sabili, president of the Philippine Medical Association, told The Associated Press the group will conduct an investigation if a formal complaint is filed and doctors found violating medical ethics could be suspended or expelled from the association.

Community Pigs In Bath

PIGS in Bath. Says the Times:

A herd of more than 60 pig sculptures, above, appeared yesterday as part of a public art project. The King Bladud’s Pigs in Bath art initiative will eventually lead to 100 of the animals scattered across the city.

The white, life-sized sculptures will be painted and decorated on behalf of different communities and businesses across the region. Residents hope that the project will boost awareness of a 3,000-year-old legend, which tells how King Bladud founded Bath after discovering the healing powers of its hot spring waters while walking with his swine.

How long before some tabloid muppett calls a gurning loon and invites him to say how pigs are an affront to Islam, and that the pigeons he talks to in the precinct are so much pure?

Peter Jones’ Palm Civet Dinner Party Coffee

“I WAS a little apprehensive before I tried it but I actually really like it,” says Hannah Silver of her Luwak coffee.

“It was very earthy and it tastes rather smooth.”

Ms Silver is drinking a brew of coffee harvested from the droppings of the palm civet, a monkey-like cat that lives in Indonesia.

The Mail says the coffee is on offer at the Peter Jones department store, London.

The Mail also says that the coffee, which retails at £50 for 100 grams, or £15 for each stool, is “the ultimate talking point over after-dinner mints”.

The Great British Frozen Mash Cone

ALL hail, and no little rain, mist and drizzle, for the great British summer holiday.

Following its front-page news that families are facing the “grim prospect” of having to find an additional £700 to fund an overseas summer holiday, the Express looks at the pleasures of staying at home.

Picture the scene. You’ve burnished your collection of sand jewels (what mum jokingly calls “broken glass”), dived into the bracing sea in your tight jeans, and taken in Jim Davidson’s XXX-Factor show on the end of a very long pier.

You are now ready to eat. And what better to lag the body than a Great British banger, a scoop of Great British mash potato, some Great British peas (if not in season then use some Great British Kenyan-grown peas) and some Great British gravy?

And what more quintessentially British than securing the delicious concoction atop a Great British ice-cream cone? (Take care to remove the ice-cream first.)

It is the Mash Cone. And it’s the “brain child” of food company Aunt Bessie’s.

A F*****g Barney Among Parrots And Police

SAYS bird sanctuary owner Geoff Grewcock: “I knew that Barney could swear but what has happened is shocking.”

Barney is a seven-year-old blue and gold macaw. He has, as Mr Grewcock maintains, picked up his lexicon from his previous owners.

Says the Mail: “He’s been teaching the other two when we had our backs turned… He has duly passed it on to African Greys Sam and Charlie, both five years old, with whom he shares a cage in Mr Grewcock’s living room. Their favourite words are f*** off, b******* and t***.”

The story then takes on a predictable twist as Barney tells the local mayoress to f*** off” and addresses two police officers and a vicar with the legend: “You can f*** off too, w******!”

Heart Transplant Recipient Commits Suicide Just Like Donor

SONNY Graham was dying.

His heart was giving out. But there came a call. The good news was that Terry Cottle had died first. He’d committed suicide by shooting himself in the head. Sonny could have Terry’s heart.

Operation arranged. Operation a success.

Mr Graham, 69, wanted to thank the donor’s family. He began writing to Mr Cottle’s widow, Cheryl, 39. They fell in love. In 2004, they married.

Said Mrs Graham: “It helped me so much. Meeting Sonny made it easier for me, knowing something so good came from something so bad.”

“I felt like I had known her for years,” Mr Graham said. “I couldn’t keep my eyes off her. I just stared.”

Now 12 years on, Mrs Graham is grieving once more.

The Monkids Are Alright: People Who Raise Monkeys As Their Children

“SHE was a little, bitty, teeny thing staring up at me,” says Lori Johnson, 58, who lives in Deltona with her husband and Jessica Marie, a 5-pound capuchin monkey she calls her daughter. “She was enough to steal anyone’s heart, she was.”

In the Orlando Sentinel, Anorak learns of “a growing group of monkey lovers who pay big bucks to diaper and dote on their primates. Some even raise them as surrogate children.”

These are the “monkids”. Some have pierced ears, monogrammed clothes, a seat at the dinner table and their own bedrooms.

Johnson pushes Jessy around in a toy-filled red pram. “Hey, it’s a real monkey,” says a child. “That’s not a monkey; that’s my kid,” says Johnson.

Johnson sounds like the woman in the precinct who talks to the stuffed cat she keeps in her shopping trolley. But unlike her, Johnson is not alone.

German Duke Franz Herzog von Bayern Is Rightful King Of England

GOD save Franz Herzog von Bayern new King of England and Scotland.

The Telegraph reports that should Gordon Brown repeal the 1701 Act of Settlement, something he is considering, the 74-year-old German will sit on the throne.

Brown sees the undoing of the Act as a way of “healing a historic injustice by ending the prohibition against Catholics taking the throne”.

No Act and Franz Herzog von Bayern, the current Duke of Bavaria, becomes the rightful heir to the British Crown under the Stuart line.

Widow Sues Prostitutes For Shagging Husband To Death

TO Antwerp, where a widow is suing two prostitutes for causing her husband to die from a heart attack during an electrifying sex session:

The widow of a wealthy businessman who suffered a fatal heart attack while he was romping with two prostitutes, is suing the pair for £1.1million.

The victim, who had a heart condition and was aged only 38, asked the hookers to come equipped with a special sex toy that stimulates him with electric shocks as a special Christmas treat.

The bill for the special treatment, plus three bottles of champagne and some Ecstasy tablets, came to more than £2,000.

Lawyer Yvan Naessens, who represents the widow, said the prostitutes encouraged the victim – who was a regular client – to drink, take the drugs and have sex although he appeared unwell.

Feel Peachy With Japan’s Placenta Drink

JAPAN’S Nihon Sofuken company has brought to market the last word in looking good and feeling terrific: placenta juice.

The placentas are taken from Japanese pigs. The afterbirth is screened to rid it of all traces of blood, hormones and bits off piglet.

The screening also removes the taste and smell. This means Nihon Sofuken can sell placeta in a Peach flavour.

What a real placenta tastes like only a happy few can say, but we are told that it is not all that unlike a condensed tofu steeped in a gravy of Pedigree Chum and used dental floss with a whiff of Rebecca Loos’ handcream…

Man Admits Having Sex With Picnic Table

ART Price Junior has confessed to repeatedly having sex with a picnic table.

It was more of an affair than a one lunchtime stand with Price romancing the table between January and March of this year.

Police in Bellevue, Ohio, were alerted to the coupling after someone anonymously taped one of the incidents then gave the tape to police.

More interestingly, according to police, Price admits that he had sex with the picnic table both inside and outside his home.

He took the tables out on dates, for some al fresco loving. It was most likely that the table wanted to go. Had it been a stay-at-home snooker table the affair would have remained secret, and, given the pockets, more understandable. But picnic tables love the thrill of the wind in their slats, the sun on their struts.

How you have sex with a picnic table is not delved into, nor if the table was made of wood or a pliable plastic

Mr Price is free on a $20,000 bond. And free for lunch…

More sex here, here and here.
