This Week in WTF, October 12, 2012

320px-Soviet_War_Memorial_Northwest_view_1– Last week, I mentioned a college student who got near-fatal alcohol poisoning from pouring cheap wine up his butt. This week, I learned about a teenager in England who had to have part of her stomach removed after drinking a concoction containing Jaegermeister and liquid nitrogen (you read that right.) My assumption was that this was some sort of dare gone horribly wrong or even an assault, but I might have been wrong to think that. Apparently, putting liquid nitrogen in high-end cocktails is the new hot thing. I am so happy to be vanilla and boring right now.

– One thing you can say for certain about the nations of the former Soviet Union is that they love their World War II memorials. So much so, that it’s probably best not to mess with them too much.

KIEV (Reuters) – A Ukrainian court has handed down a suspended three-year prison sentence to a student who fried eggs over the eternal flame at a World War Two memorial to protest against government policies.

Hanna Sinkova was found guilty of desecrating The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Kiev.

Sinkova, 21, a member of radical youth movement called The Brotherhood of St. Lucas, said her actions were meant to draw attention to the plight of impoverished war veterans.

– A man in Pennsylvania is suing a strip club for……just read it:

A lawsuit filed last week says that in late November 2010 [redacted], a resident of Lansdale, Pa., had been invited to lie on the stage at the Penthouse Club in Port Richmond, Pa., as part of its “Bachelor’s Package.”

That’s when one dancer shimmied up the pole, and “from a great height, she launched herself down onto his abdomen” with such force that she ruptured his bladder, [redacted]’s attorney [also redacted] told the Philadelphia Daily News.

The suit said the move resulted in severe pain for [redacted] that did not subside by the next morning. He went to the emergency room, and doctors discovered he had internal bleeding and a ruptured bladder that required surgery to correct.

[Also redacted] said that [redacted] also suffered nerve damage in his back and hip, the Daily News reported.

The lawsuit accuses the club of negligence and seeks at least $50,000 for medical costs, pain, humiliation and mental anguish.

Keep in mind that we are not talking about [redacted]’s testicles here. That would be too obvious. This is his bladder, which, as far as I know, he keeps on the inside.
