Wife cuts off husband’s penis
A Thai woman cut off her husband’s penis after he asked her to make love one more time before he left her for another woman.
Saithong Wantha, 53, then asked neighbours to take Udom Phorit, 35, to hospital while she turned herself in to police, reports The Nation.
Nieghbours got hold of Udom’s sister, Boonsong Ansanghan, but they could not find the severed organ.
They had to call Saithong on her mobile phone. She told them she had tossed it behind the fence in the front yard.
Nearly two hours went by before surgeons at Khon Kaen University’s Srinakharin Hospital could operate.
Finally, they reattached Udom’s penis, but said there was only a 50-50 chance it would function properly.
Saithong, 53, told police at Kosum Pisai that she cut off Udom’s penis in a fit of rage because he was leaving her.
She hoped he would stop philandering and stay with her if he could no longer function sexually.
“I love him and I don’t want him to leave,” she said.
Man lost job for being ‘dead’
A Romanian man returned from his holiday to find he had lost his job because he had been declared dead.
Valentin Lefter, 20, from Focsani, said he was shocked because he’d only been away for two weeks.
He returned from his summer break to find a letter from wine-bottling company Prodecam Vanatori.
“The letter, addressed to my wife, apologised for my passing away and said any outstanding payments would be sent to her within the next month,” said Lefter.
When he rang company bosses, they apologised and said the letter had been sent out because of a computer error.
But they said he could not have his job back because they had already employed someone in his place, reported local media.
He now plans to sue the company for £10,000.
Car crashes into Car Crash
A newly opened restaurant called Car Crash has had to close down – after a car crashed into the building.
The car lost control in wet weather and smashed into the entrace of the restaurant in Santiago.
Owner Nancy Araya says she named the restaurant Car Crash because the area was an accident blackspot.
She told Las Ultimas Noticias: “It is unbelievable, it is black humour that a car crashes into Car Crash. The restaurant is now a joke.”
Nobody was hurt in the accident. The restaurant is expected to reopen within a week.
Dad of 12 admits he’s gay
An Austrian couple with 12 children have split up – after the husband admitted he was gay.
Mum Alina Look dumped husband Hannes after his shock revelation.
Hannes had announced that he was leaving the family home at Graz for another man.
Hannes told Alina he only made her pregnant so she had “something to do”.
Alina said: “I received a phone call from a friend who told me she had seen Hannes with another person, she said they had been kissing and cuddling.
“I didn’t believe her when she told me the other person was a man, but when I confronted Hannes he admitted everything.
“He told me he had only had sex with me so I would get pregnant and it would give me something to do. I can’t believe we had so many children together, my whole life has been a lie.”
She has now written a book “…no time to pray” about her ordeal which she hopes will bring in money to support her family in their home in Graz, Austria.
Man stole cop car to get to work
A Chicago man is in jail after stealing a marked police car to get to work.
The 38-year-old was caught after stopping when a member of the public flagged him down for help.
He had noticed the squad car outside a restaurant on North Western Avenue, reports CBS.
The officer had left the keys in it while he went inside to eat so the man stole it to get to his work at a bakery.
Farmers declared independence
Three members of an ‘Australian’ family were convicted of fraud after declaring their land an independent kingdom.
The Rigoli family named their property in northern Victoria the Principality of Ponderosa, reports News.com.au.
Virgilio Rigoli, 67 – the self-proclaimed Prince of Ponderosa – and sons Philip, 36, and Little Joe, 25, refused to pay taxes.
During a pre-sentencing hearing, a Melbourne court heard the trio earned $6.9 million between 1991 and 2000.
Virgilio wrote a letter to the Australian Tax Office (ATO), addressing it “to the devil possessed,” and Little Joe wrote another letter explaining why he refused to pay tax.
“I do not recognise nor will I ever recognise the government of Australia, signed His Royal Highness, Little Joseph Rigoli,” the letter read.
Fences were erected around their 24 hectare property, which issued its own Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1994.
The farm was surrounded by a moat and people required passports to enter and leave.
Virgilio says Ponderosa was a manifestation of his resentment towards the Department of Agriculture for bulldozing his fruit crop.
The hearing continues.
Radio station makes up for getting boy expelled
A Chilean radio show found a new school for a teenage boy after he was expelled because of one of their pranks.
Jarred Carrasco, 14, rang radio show Mala Influenca while he was waiting to see the principal at Los Almendros School.
Presenter Victor Aranda told him to scream out loud that his maths teacher was talking ‘sh*t’ and the boy complied, Las Ultimas Noticias reports.
The principal promptly arrived to tell Jarred that the show was being broadcast on the school’s radio and the whole school had heard what he said.
Later that day, Jarred called the radio station again and told the show’s producer that he had been expelled.
Mala Influence immediately launched a campaign to find the boy a new school and he was admitted to Cardenal Antonio Samore School within hours.
Asbo orders teen to get drunk
A teenager has been given an Asbo ordering him to get drunk in a court blunder
The error was only noticed when the 15-year-old ended up in front of magistrates again for an alleged breach of the conditions.
Magistrates heard the youngster, who cannot be named, was technically breaking the law if he was found walking the streets of a quiet market town without alcohol.
The order also required him to use threatening behaviour likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress to members of the public in Alnwick, Northumberland.
The Asbo – issued last February after a string of complaints – reads ‘without’ rather than ‘with’, reports the Daily Mirror.
An exasperated police source said: “It took a long time to bring him to book and get him before the court in the first place.
“It is maddening to spend all that time only for the order then to tell him to go out and misbehave. It really does beggar belief.”
Unborn boy threatened with Asbo
A Staffordshire ‘boy’ has been threatened with an Anti-Social Behaviour Order – and he hasn’t even been born yet.
Julie Brown, from Burton-on-Trent, was told her son had annoyed neighbours driving around on his motor scooter, reports the Mirror.
She has already named her baby Dominic, but he is not due until September – and she has the hospital scan to prove it.
Julie thinks she is the victim of a cruel hoaxer but is angry that her local council did not check out the complaint thoroughly before threatening to issue an Asbo.
Julie, 35, who has two daughters, said: “It must be the first time an unborn child has been threatened with an Asbo before it’s had a chance to do anything bad.
“I was angry because nobody came and checked and the letter was sent despite the fact we don’t have a son yet, let alone one who causes trouble riding around on a scooter.”
A council spokesman said: “The letter appears to be an unfortunate mistake and we will be sending a written apology to the couple.”
Pensioner called police to fix TV
An Italian pensioner called the police after her television broke down in the middle of a popular soap opera.
Sofia Torino, 90, told officers to come to her flat in Pescara, southern Italy, to deal with an “emergency”.
When they arrived at the scene, they found her in a panic because her TV had broken during The Bold and the Beauitiful.
Mrs Torino reportedly told officers: “You have to help, or else I will miss the end.”
The officers told the woman not to call police for household repairs but fixed the TV for her anyway, news website Tgcom reported.
Bored student proposes mid-exam
A law student was so bored with his final year paper that he stood up in the middle of the exam and asked his girlfriend to marry him.
Student Edin Smailovic, 29, requested permission to address the rest of the students during an economic law exam at Bijelo Polje University in Montenegro.
Examiners gave their permission believing he had a query regarding the paper that was also of importance to the rest of the group.
But after approaching the front of the room he got down on one knee and asked his 26-year-old girlfriend, Edita Bikic, who was also sitting the exam, to marry him.
“I had planned to take Edita on holiday to Egypt after our exams were over and propose there, but I was so bored with the paper and so excited about the prospect of getting married that I decided I had to ask her there and then,” said Smailovic.
Edita said “yes” and the couple are to marry later this month, local daily Glas Javnosti reported.
Tarzan swings, Tarzan falls…
A Romanian man ended up in hospital after he tried to swing from tree to tree to escape his wife and go drinking.
Stefan Trisca, 66, had been locked in the bedroom by his wife who was fed up with him going drinking with his friends.
His Tarzan style escape plan backfired when he slipped from a vine and fell 15ft to the ground, breaking his arm, an ankle and a leg.
Mr Trisca, of Bacau, said: “I didn’t think it would be such a big deal to go from tree to tree and get down to the ground.
“Unfortunately it was more difficult than it looked in the Tarzan movies. And I suppose I forgot to take into account that Tarzan was a lot younger.”
Gravediggers held BBQ in cemetery
Gravediggers in a Belgian city have been criticised for holding a barbecue party in a cemetery.
It follows a complaint from a couple who visited the cemetery at Merksem, Antwerp, to visit the grave of their son.
François and Magda Boljau were shocked to find the gravediggers holding a party in a shed at the cemetery, reports Het Nieuwsblad.
Mrs Bolijau said: “It was happening only 15 metres from his grave. The music of ‘Sex bomb, sex bomb’ was coming very loud from the loudspeakers.
“Children were playing between the graves. I couldn’t stand it and ran away in tears.”
Alderman Erwin Pairon, who is responsible for Antwerp’s cemeteries, said he was very annoyed with the gravediggers.
The gravediggers insisted they held a party every year in the same shed and that nobody had complained before.
But Alderman Pairon said: “Next year, they have to move. I understand it is very upsetting for the parents to have to listen to a party when they came to mourn.”
