New Mom Loses Entire Body of Blood

This lady definitely deserves the mother of the year award. Mothers love to lay on the guilt trip by announcing all the sacrifices they made. "I brought you into this world. I fed you, clothed you, changed your diapers." All true and very much appreciated, but it's peanuts compared to this. Can many moms say I gave all the blood in my body for you? Nope. I think not. This takes the cake. But the understatement of the year award goes to her doctor when he says, "Rebecca thought she was dying." I'm no doctor, but I think she pretty much was dying. She was losing all her blood.

Mother cuts off suspected defilers penis

The title of this one bothers me a bit. How is he considered suspected, if the mother caught him in the act? Legal reasons I guess. However, his lawyers are going to have a hard time trying to come up with a reason why his pants were down, giving the woman clear access to his manhood. Not only that, but why he was so distracted with his pants, that he never noticed a woman coming at him with a knife. It's a wonder he didn't bleed to death while sitting in the corner crying. And that poor dog that was beaten simply for finding himself a snack. I can imagine it wasn't good for much after that though.

Wacko Jacko

What kind of weird news blog would this be without saying something about the King of Pop. Talented though he is, saying his behavior is bizarre is an understatement. He was seen shopping at a Barnes and Nobles with his children. No, that not the weird part. What made it weird is the fact that he was being wheeled around in a wheelchair wearing pajamas. That would not even be odd if he needed the chair because he couldn't walk or stand. But he gets out of it and walks around on occasion. So the question is, "What is the wheel chair for?" The world may never know.

Man Sues Church

The lawsuits that people come up with just keep getting more and more crazy. This time around a man is suing a church for his fall after catching the holy spirit. He apparently hurt his head. He must have done some damage to think he's going to get a payout from this one.

Teen Finds Bat in Bra

Ever find something where it should not be? A sock in the couch. Watch in the fridge. How about a bat in your bra? No? Well this teen did. The vibrations in her brassiere were mistaken for a cell phone and the sleeping bat was able to snuggle there for quite some time. From the early morning, when she got dressed for work, all the way until lunch time when she finally got the courage to investigate the weird feeling. Long before now she should have realized it wasn't her phone. Her question was, "How could I have not known it was there?" I'm wondering the same thing lady.

Man's Nose Bitten Off in Burger King Drive-Thru

This guy apparently has some really strong, healthy teeth. But what a way to use them. Biting off another guys nose while waiting for a Whopper. The fight started when one guy rammed his truck into the other guys car. How he missed a whole car in front of him at the drive thru, I fail to understand. Now, not only do you have to not upset the people preparing your food, you have to worry about the guy behind you too.

The Pregnant Man Gives Birth

Thomas Beatie began life as a woman, but switched it up a bit and began living as a man. Beatie married and has a wife, Nancy. Naturally they wanted children, but unnaturally, Thomas was the one to carry the child. This is big news. I mean they were on Oprah for crying out loud! It doesn't get much bigger than that. From previous articles, I have learned that Beatie is a man on the outside and an intact woman on the inside. Now, I understand how it went. Beatie was artificially inseminated with a donor sperm and his own egg. But what I don't get is how he had this baby without a C-section. Can anyone explain this to me please?
