Man dies after using superglue to seal penis shut instead of using condom

Provided there was a good seal, I think we can put this right next to abstinence as 100% guarantees that pregnancy won't occur.

Ksyrup 08-26-2021 04:22 PM

I skimmed it and I think he died more from the mixture of the glue with drugs that they used to get high, then decided what the hell let's use the same mixture as a makeshift condom. I don't think it was solely due to a blockage caused by the glue which is what the title suggests.

Often the story does not live up to the headline, but there was more than enough other weird stuff in that story to live up to the initial billing.

Parents Want High School Principal Removed For Listening To IRON MAIDEN; Students Rally Behind Her - Loaded Radio

Quote:

High school students are rallying behind their metalhead principal after a number of concerned parents have been petitioning to have her removed for stating on her personal Instagram profile that she listens to IRON MAIDEN.

Quote:

The student’s petition is in response to a petition laid out by a number parents (who are obviously not IRON MAIDEN fans) of some of the students who claim the following: “As concerned parents with impressionable children at Eden High School in St. Catharines, Ontario, we are deeply disturbed that the principal assigned to the school blatantly showed Satanic symbols and her allegiance to Satanic practices on her public social media platforms where all the students can see them under @edenprincipal (not her personal account). Our school is based on inclusion, and openly displaying Satanic symbols (on a public social media platform) that directly goes against the principles of the vast majority of families who represent the school, is not inclusive. As parents we are demanding her transfer to another school. Please replace her with another principal who aligns with the values of the families at Eden and will not sabotage the teaching or upholding of those values and will not try to introduce impressionable students to Satanic practices or symbolism.

Meanwhile, Indonesia's president is an over the top metal head.

Maiden got shit for The Number of the Beast, but the ironic part is they are one of the most educated metal bands in the world. They regularly write about history and literature. I wrote my junior and senior high school English papers on Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Charge of the Light Brigade (The Trooper), both of which inspired Maiden songs. And Bruce Dickinson is basically a modern day Renaissance man. He's not only a metal singer and literature/history buff, but he's a pilot who flies the band's plane on their tours.

The president - popularly known as Jokowi - is a well-known metalhead and fan of the band. His attendance at rock concerts is part of his appeal to many as a person who mixes with regular people.

I read that and thought it really wasn't that different from stuff we used to do in high school. I thought it was pretty damn tame, and the KY parents that were up in arms about it should probably focus more on their kids getting some sort of sorely lacking sex education, rather than what kids do during a pep rally.

Ksyrup 10-28-2021 10:06 AM

Seriously? That is beyond inappropriate in a school setting. I'm not sure what any of that has to do with a pep rally to begin with - or why you would link it to sex education...?

7 Men Arrested After Castrations Streamed Online
Quote:

Seven men have been arrested in north London as part of a probe into castrations broadcast live on a pay-per-view channel.

An investigation into a subculture known as “nullos” – people who endorse castration, or “genital nullification” – led to the raid in Finsbury Park, where police spent three days searching the basement flat.

A 44-year-old Norwegian man living at the address was held on suspicion of conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm. According to The Sun, he describes himself as “The Eunuch Maker” and runs a film production company. He is understood to have been castrated himself.
Quote:

One of the most famous nullos is Japanese artist Mao Sugiyama, who removed his genitals before cooking and served them garnished with mushrooms and parsley for paying guests. Cannibalism is not illegal in Japan.

15.03 BST: Brazilian defender Marcelo was dropped from the Lyon first team due to continuous farting and laughing in the dressing room, sources have told ESPN.

As ESPN reported in August, the 34-year-old was expelled from the senior squad following Lyon's 3-0 defeat at the hands of Angers.

Marcelo was caught laughing during captain Leo Dubois' speech to rally the troops following the game, which didn't go down well with manager Peter Bosz and sporting director Juninho.

However, according to sources, Marcelo was also disciplined by the club for repeatedly farting among his teammates in the dressing room and laughing in the presence of Juninho and Bosz.
