Man who thinks he is a God cuts of his own Penis !

Post by greypanther »

Rapper Andre Johnson explains why he severed his penis.
http://edition.cnn.com/2014/07/15/showb ... ?hpt=hp_t4
"Yes, I was using drugs that night, but I was in complete control," he said. "I cut it off because that was the root of all my problems. My solution to the problem was the realization that sex is for mortals, and I am a god. ...Those kinds of activities got me into trouble, and I came here to be a god."
Oh dear...
Not sectioned because?
I know someone who thought he was an angel sent to earth to help humanity, he spent a couple of months on a ward.

A 5 second search reveals that no, you are not crazy, although whether this plan is or not is open to question:

That storm last night trashed my mates flat. :o

Roof fell in and the water flooded in taking out the ceilings in the upstairs flats first then through to the flats below removing their ceilings and finally into the shops below them... and I thought I had it rough getting caught out in it in a T shirt. (though it was actually nice and cooling compared to the mugging by hot thick weather just before)
If you can`t dazzle them with dynamics, then baffle them with bullsh*t :D

Rubber duck gone missing!

Post by greypanther »

Keep your eyes open for an escaped 18 m yellow rubber duck...
it seems it was swept away in recent storms in China, unless it is some sort of Trojan Duck ploy from the Chines in an attempt to invade Japan! :o :roll:

http://www.wantchinatimes.com/news-subc ... 5&cid=1303
"The duck flopped over and was flushed away really quickly by the torrent. It disappeared right in front of me in a few seconds," Yan Jianxin, who helped coordinate the exhibition on behalf of a local company, told the Wall Street Journal's China Real Time blog.
I mean how many Chines soldiers can you fit in an 18 m ten tonne duck? :roll:

I have to admit that was a sentence I never expected to type.
Warning: the preceding post almost certainly contains bad grammar and spelling, sarcasm, British humour, general insanity and excessive amounts of Progressive Rock.

Home invasions in the colonies are met with swift stabby, also I didn't have immediate access to live capture systems and folk were asleep in the house. Didn't want to start an international incident. I'd have preferred to have kept it alive but given that my mother is EXTREMELY bitchy I elected the quieter choice... just as long as she doesn't notice the blood on the walls and carpet before I can get cleaning equipment in position

:gruebel: I'll have to question the article , naming of "Thailand" being the (Government) location of such a banning . It is more like something our beloved Tsar of Cow , the Ruler of..... The Land of Cow would be in the forefront , with the implementation of such a ruling .
A dictator, fending off military coups, rigging elections and ruling with a iron fist .
