Greetings fellow Bizarros:

So-called sexual minorities, that is transgender persons, have been doing a lot of fighting for recognition in the last few years. They want to be able to marry, to go to school functions like proms together and the right to use whatever bathrooms they wish. And if they can gain a few privileges for themselves, more power to them.

But in this case, one "sexual minority" has gone a little too far in drawing attention to his (for lack of a better pronoun) cause.

Mao Sugiyama, a 22-year-old Japanese artist, had his penis and testicles surgically removed in order to live as an "asexual", that is without gender. But then he decided, in order to raise awareness about sexual minorities and to raise funds to help pay for the surgery, that he was going to cook his own genitals and served them to five paying diners in Tokyo.

Diners paid 20,000 yen for the plate with a portion of genitals. The meal was prepared under the supervision of a certified cook and diners were required to sign a waiver indemnifying Sugiyama and event organizers.

Steps were taken so the act met all relevant laws, including a ban on organ sales, processing of medical waste and even food sanitation requirements.

The genitals were braised and served with mushrooms and a parsley garnish.

Sugiyama said he received questions from some women and men asking 'Will there be a next time? Please host it again.' Apparently, the meal did not leave a bad taste in the diners' mouths.

But there is only one set of male organ," he tweeted. "I have no plan for the next time."

Bizarrely,
Lewis

*-- Rats ruin fountain in Pied Piper's town --*
HAMLIN, Germany - Officials in Hamlin, the German hometown of the Pied Piper, said modern-day rats have taken revenge on the city by chewing through a cable powering a fountain. Thomas Wahmes, spokesman for the Hamlin town council, said the rats gnawed through an electric cable powering the fountain near the city's transport station, The Local.de reported Thursday. Wahmes told the newspaper Suddeutsche Zeitung the rats were likely attracted to the area by food people have scattered for birds near the fountain. The Brothers Grimm tale tells the story of how the Pied Piper used his music to lead all of the rats out of the city in 1284 and took the town's children when residents refused to pay. The city still employs an official rat catcher, but his position is mostly ceremonial and is more focused on piping than pest removal, The Local.de said.

*-- Police: Suspect tried to take police clock --*
PANAMA CITY, Fla. - Police in Florida said a man arrested for possessing a stolen shopping cart allegedly tried to take a clock from the police station wall.

Perhaps there was more ball play involved than on the foosball table. Either way I guess it's better than going to prom with your mom. (Unless your mom is Angelina Jolie). -Dona

A high school prom and the Exxxotica Expo, it's a match made in heaven. Sometimes those school administrators just need to leave well enough alone. Prom, porn. Almost the same word. -Doug
[It's like prom and career day on the same night.]

Lewis, I read in the news today that police found an unidentified man's body in a park in your area. They describe him as having a Beer Belly, Saggy Balls, Wrinkly Ass and a Small Dick. Are you okay?
[I don't have a wrinkly ass.]

Lewis: This happened in Naples Fl. last year. A guy stole a tractor with a bucket from a construction site and went to a nearby bank where he used it to break down the outside wall and steal an ATM. Cops caught him a few blocks away with the ATM in the bucket and wires dragging on the ground.
[That's surprising...with him being so discreet and all.]
