There’s no tactful way to relate this story, so here it is: A UK man got his penis so horribly stuck inside of a steel pipe Tuesday that it took seven firefighters and a metal grinder to get it out. The man had initially been rushed to a hospital, but doctors were unable to remove the pipe because restricted blood flow had caused the penis to become too aroused, the Sun reports.
It took firefighters 30 minutes to cut the pipe off, leaving the penis within bruised and swollen, but otherwise unharmed.

Honestly, we're surprised that this doesn't already exist: Tribudesign, a young Lebanese firm, has secured a distributor for White, which is basically a bong that looks like an iPod.
Maybe bong is too cavalier a word. It's supposed to be a hookah, and it's going to be distributed by Airdiem, a Parisian company that appears to specialize in high-end Persian smokers.

Its slim design also makes it easily stashable. And if that isn't enough, you can just throw it next to your computer in a pinch, and pray that the cops mistake it for a USB drive.
Only college kids smoke out of hand-blown bowls with swirly colors. Adults spend their hard-earned money on well-designed products made of stainless steel, acrylic and leather. This thing is the perfect compliment to the Volcano.
The Veterans' Day events in Edinburgh took place on July 26. It saw pipers and drummers make a six-week musical journey from Shetland to the Capital. The final parade made its way up the Royal Mile from the Palace of Holyrood:
This once sleepy aboriginal community, 20 kilometres south of last week's oilfield bombings, is now criss-crossed by pipelines and main street has turned into a highway. There are five wellsites within the two-kilometre-square community and a sour gas separating plant just four kilometres north.

The internet could soon be made obsolete by a new "grid" system which is 10,000 times faster than broadband connections. Scientists in Switzerland have developed a lightning-fast replacement to the internet that would allow feature films and music catalogues to be downloaded within seconds, and the human brain to be downloaded into the world of a computer and forced to participate in gladiatorial games where your only chance of escape is with the help of a heroic security program.
(edit: I may have nicked that last bit about downloading brains from the synopsis to the movie 'Tron'. Zing!)The internet could soon be made obsolete by a new "grid" system which is... more
