Bizarre News - October 4, 2014

Greetings fellow Bizarros:

A Halloween horror came early for some amusement park goers in England when a roller coaster hit a deer and covered the passengers in blood.

A spokeswoman for the Lightwater Valley theme park near Ripon, England, confirmed the deer wandered onto the track of The Ultimate, billed as Europe's longest roller coaster, and was struck by the car.

"We can confirm a young deer did unfortunately get hit by the Ultimate train yesterday and was killed instantly," the spokeswoman said. "There is a large perimeter fence surrounding the theme park but occasionally wild animals do manage to stray onto the park during the night."

The roller coaster was closed for 30 minutes before resuming normal operations.

Reports indicate passengers were sprayed with the animal's blood, but there were no human injuries from the crash.

A deer previously wandered onto The Ultimate's tracks in 1994 and was struck by a car, resulting in the hospitalization of a 12-year-old boy.

Bizarrely,
Lewis

*-- Nurse: Potato spent 2 weeks inside woman's vagina --*
HONDA, Colombia (UPI) - Workers at a Colombia clinic said a woman inserted a potato into her vagina as a means of contraception and the spud grew roots inside of her. Staff at a medical clinic in the town of Honda said a 22-year-old woman came in this week complaining of severe pain in her lower abdomen and attending nurse Carolina Rojas said she was shocked to discover roots coming out of the woman's vagina. "My mom told me that if I didn't want to get pregnant, I should put a potato up there, and I believed her." the patient was quoted as saying. Rojas said the potato had been inside the woman for about two weeks and was growing roots inside her. The nurse said doctors were able to remove the spud without surgery and they do not expect the woman to experience any long-term effects from the experience -- except, perhaps, a newfound aversion to using potatoes as contraception.


*-- 9-pound hairball removed from teenager's stomach --*
BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan (UPI) - Doctors in Bishkek removed a nine-pound hairball from the stomach of 18-year-old Ayperi Alekseeva after she could no longer eat or drink. The ball developed over years as the woman chewed the ends of her hair and ate hair off the floor. "Her stomach was so badly swollen from hair and bits of wool from the carpet that it literally just oozed out soon as the wall of the stomach was cut," Senior professor of surgery at Bishkek hospital Bahadir Bebezov told The Daily Mail. Aside from the hair eating compulsion that caused her to become malnourished, Alekseeva was completely healthy. The compulsion to eat human hair is called Trichophagia, which can result in the development of Rapunzel syndrome, a condition where the ball develops a "tail" that clogs the lower intestine. Alekseeva is recovering and promises to refrain from chewing her hair in the future.

Lewis, Outside of the milkshake, the Hibernator breakfast sounds like my typical Saturday morning breakfast. Got a pair of questions about it though. Is 'fried bread' what most Americans call French Toast and what is black pudding? -Marty
[I'm not sure what Black Pudding is, but I hear that white women seem to find it more filling.]

Lewis; This sounds like a great way to deal with countries that we're not on the most pleasant relations with. Just have our military planes drop giant poop "bombs" on them like that plane allegedly did to the home and car of that New Zealand woman. That'll let them know that we'll no longer tolerate their sh*t. -R.S.
[I can hear the promotional slogans now, 'Take a dump for freedom. Have a seat at your local recycling center today.' I'm sure BN readers can come up with some better ones.]

Hi lewis John from tampa day fla that woman with 3 boobs lives in tampaI have seen photos of her in our local news paper. She is very hot looking woman and those 3 boobs look great.

[I wonder what her stripper name would be.]
