    Porn played on Disney Channel. "Programming error," says Comcast, in fit of understatement.

    Cable operator Comcast is investigating how hardcore pornography was broadcast during a popular cartoon program on the Disney Channel.

    Customer Paul Dunleavy would also like to know. He was stunned Tuesday morning to find his 5-year-old son watching something other than "Handy Manny," a cartoon about a bilingual Latino handyman and his talking tools.

    "It was two people doing their thing, it was full-on and it was disgusting," the Middletown father of three told The New York Daily News for Wednesday newspapers. "I couldn't believe it."

    remember the man who married a goat? Well, the path of true love rarely runs smooth:

    Sudan's goat wife chokes to death

    A goat that gained international notoriety last year after getting married to a Sudanese man who indecently assaulted her has died after accidentally choking on a plastic bag.
    http://www.guardian.co.uk/sudan/stor...072519,00.html

    However at the end of the story we read:

    Following the marriage Rose had a male kid, but "not a human one", Mr Rhodes said.
    Sooo, the hussy was obviously having sex with a male goat, as well as her lawful wedded husband Mr Tombe. Oooh, i'm sure she said that the kid looked just like Mr Tombe, but he could tell she was lying.

    Her death, an accident? I think not. Crime of passion for sure.

    I feel the Backroom has been derailed in recent times, filling up with political discussions which, quite frankly, no-one is interested in, and detracting from its true spirit. So, to redress matters, here's a good old-fashioned genital mutilation story, from today's Metro (Fri May 4 2007).

    Soldier sues over missing testicle

    A soldier who had a testicle amputated after being kneed in the crotch during his training yesterday launched a damages claim from the Ministry of Defence. David Shaun Best, 23, of Shrewsbury, Wiltshire, was injured in a wrestling exercise with a fellow recruit. He is making a six figure claim for the injury and the loss of (a) promising career in the Welsh Guards. The MoD denies liability.

    I'm really broken up about the goat wife. I thought they would live out their years together in bliss. Oh well.

    Meanwhile, a Boeing 737 has been abandoned in the middle of a major city (Mumbai).

    The decommissioned aircraft was being driven through the city at the weekend when the driver got lost and then abandoned the plane.

    The Boeing used to belong to the private company Air Sahara.

    Some locals are angry that no action is being taken to move the plane. Others say it is a tourist attraction.

    It appears that after taking a wrong turn, the driver found himself facing a flyover that was too low for him to take the plane under.

    The driver has not been seen since and no-one is assuming responsibility for the 737.

    So he couldn't go on and just went home and now noone cares about the plane? Only in India I guess.

    Seems like the place for this story:
    Canadian MP Wants Bigfoot Given Endangered Species Protection
    "The debate over their (Bigfoot's) existence is moot in the circumstance of their tenuous hold on merely existing," reads a petition presented by Lake to parliament in March and due to be discussed next week.
    Reminds me of a bit from Futurama:
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Narrator: [voice-over; in movie] Bigfoot ... [A hand stamps some words over the caption.] ... Endangered Mystery! [The movie shows a map of North America.] In the dense forests of the Pacific Northwest ... [The scene changes to the Patterson-Gimlin film.] ... dwells the strange and beautiful creature known as Bigfoot, perhaps.

    [In the movie the Clearcutter cuts down some trees.]

    Narrator: [voice-over; in movie] Sadly, logging and human settlement today threaten what might possibly be his habitat. Although if it's not, they don't. Bigfoot populations require vast amounts of land to remain elusive in. [The scene changes to some rocks.] They typically dwell just behind rocks but are also sometimes playful, bounding into thick fogs and out-of-focus areas.

    [The scene changes to a foggy forest. Park talks on the phone at the back of the room.]

    [In the movie someone photographs the woods.]

    Narrator: [voice-over; in movie] Remember, it's up to us. Bigfoot is a crucial part of the ecosystem, if he exists. So let's all help keep Bigfoot possibly alive for future generations to enjoy unless he doesn't exist. The end.

    Spider venom could boost sex life

    Their investigation follows reports that men bitten by the Phoneutria nigriventer experienced priapism - long and painful erections.

    A two-year study has found that the venom contains a toxin, called Tx2-6, that causes erections.

    Further tests are being carried out in the US before the substance can be approved for human use.

    The results, from the Medical College of Georgia, are expected in a month's time.

    The bite of Phoneutria nigriventer, known as the Brazilian wandering spider, is potent and can be deadly in some cases.

    The Brazilian and US researchers interviewed men who claimed their sex lives had improved after a spider attack.

    The relevant toxin identified in the venom has been tested successfully on other animals.

    So far, scientists believe that combining a version of the spider's venom with an existing drug for erectile dysfunction - such as Viagra, Cialis or Levtra - could produce better results.

    I, for one, welcome our new priapic overlords.

    In other news, a boy had spiders living in his ear.

    A nine-year-old American boy who was suspicious of a "Rice Krispie" sound in his ear, was found to have a couple of spiders living in there.

    What began as a faint popping turned into ear ache for Jesse Courtney from Albany in the state of Oregon.

    Jesse's mother, Diane Courtney, said her son insisted he kept hearing a faint popping in his ear - "like Rice Krispies''.

    "They were walking on my eardrums,'' Jesse said, according to the Associated Press.

    Found a video link. Disgusting!

    Man wants compensation for being told he is going to live.

    John Brandrick, 62, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer two years ago and told that he would probably die within a year.

    He quit his job, sold or gave away nearly all his possessions, stopped paying his mortgage and spent his savings dining out and going on holiday.

    Brandrick was left with little more than the black suit, white shirt and red tie that he had planned to be buried in when it emerged a year later that his suspected "tumor" was no more than a non-life threatening inflammation of the pancreas.

    "When they tell you you've got a limited time and everything, you do enjoy life," Brandrick, from Cornwall in the west of England, told Sky television.

    "I'm really pleased that I've got a second chance in life... but if you haven't got no money after all this, which is my fault -- I spent it all -- they should pay something back."

    Princes' war tutor sex swap

    By TOM NEWTON DUNN
    and VIRGINIA WHEELER
    May 08, 2007

    A TOP male lecturer at Sandhurst who taught Princes William and Harry has won his own war — to be a woman.

    Officer Cadets returned to the elite military academy for a new term yesterday to find pipe-smoking Dr Aryeh Nusbacher is now Lynette.

    Dr Nusbacher, 40 — already tagged “Mrs Gunfire” — is believed to have had the sex change op in the past few weeks.

    On top of giving her the title of Ma’am, cadets have been ordered to treat her with full respect.

    Sandhurst’s Commandant, Major General Peter Pearson, has warned that any jokes or snide remarks by pupils or staff will be severely punished.

    The US-born professor, married with a young daughter, is still living with wife Melanie and family in nearby Guildford, Surrey.

    A friend of Lynette’s said: “She’s a very brave girl.

    “A stiff upper lip military environment such as Sandhurst is about the hardest place to come out.”

    As well as teaching at Sandhurst the professor is known to viewers of the BBC2 war game show Time Commanders and History Channel documentaries.

    Her wife said yesterday: “She does not wish to talk to you about a private matter.”


    Any former students here of Dr. Lynette?

    In deference to Gregoshi, I'm going to stick my neck out and say those students should have legged it.

    Except, perhaps, to suggest that they had some neck.

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    This one's for Beirut:

    Man chops off his own head with a chainsaw.

    A man cut off his own head with a chainsaw after stabbing his 70-year-old father to death in their apartment in the German city of Cologne, police said.

    The body of the offender, 24, was found headless when police raced to the apartment after an emergency call, apparently from the dying father, had been broken off in mid-sentence.

    Alf Willwacher, a senior prosecutor, said an electric chainsaw was next to the son's body.

    "We do not believe any third party was involved,'' he said.
