Bad Tipper in China Gets Anus Sewn Shut
Police in southern Shenzhen City confirmed a patient's claim that her anus had been sewn by a midwife suspected of taking revenge during the patient's labor because she failed to receive a good tip.
A medical report by the police showed the anus had been sewn with black threads and needle near her bleeding hemorrhoid, reported Nanfang Daily yesterday.
The midwife surnamed Zhang had denied it.
The report conflicted with a previous statement that said the patient's anus was not sealed up and there was no evidence supporting the sewing claim, by the Shenzhen Health Bureau and Shenzhen Population and Family Planning Commission on July 30.
Zhang claimed she applied the ligature treatment to cure the woman's bleeding pile out of generosity, though it violated professional practice.
However, the police's report said the woman's bleeding position was not the one that Zhang claimed she ligated.
The director of Fenghuang Hospital in Luohu District, where Zhang worked, said she couldn't comment because she didn't see the report. But she said further investigation was still needed.
Zhang was also unavailable for comment.
According to the patient's husband, surnamed Chen, the midwife had hinted that he give her extra money before the child's birth on July 23. But Chen gave her only 100 yuan (US$15), which she thought too meager and sparked her revenge.
When 'for sale' signs don't cut it, homeowners try St. Joseph statue
He's a little guy, that St. Joseph. But word is he packs a big punch - especially when it comes to selling homes.
At least that's what the box of the "St. Joseph the Worker Home Sellers Kit" suggests.
"The idea is that you bury the statue of St. Joseph in trying to sell your home," said the Rev. Donal Sullivan, pastor at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Fleming Island.
Sullivan said he has no idea when, where or how that belief and tradition began. Others say the practice dates back centuries. Regardless, the practice has picked up in recent years with the collapse of the housing market, a local retailer of Catholic goods said.
"It works - we hear all kinds of miracle stories," said Trisch Broach at Queen of Angels Catholic Store in Mandarin.
You can't blame people for trying. Home sales across the country have hit some dramatic lows since a five-year high established in 2005. And what's an extra $9.95 for the kit, including instructions and a 4-inch statue, when a potential sale hangs in the balance?
Figures provided by the Florida Association of Realtors say single-family home sales were down 68 percent in 2009. Sales improved dramatically by June but were still 17 percent below the 2005 mark. The numbers for July, released on Tuesday, showed a 23 percent dive.
Broach said she's been selling the St. Joseph statues for years through her parish bookstore. She remembers a real estate agent a few years back buying 50 of the kits to give to clients.
"He wasn't even Catholic," she said.
Rituals having to do with the home aren't limited to Catholicism or even to Christianity.
In Judaism, it's common for rabbis to bless homes and for a mezuzah - a small container holding a parchment of Scripture - to be nailed to the door post as a reminder of God's presence.
Hindus also ritually consecrate the homes they move into, said Panditji Srinathan Kadambi, the priest at the Hindu Society of Northeast Florida in Jacksonville.
"The idea is this: Everything belongs to God ... and to bring good vibrations into the area," he said.
Kadambi blessed three homes a few weeks ago but said requests for home consecrations have been way down the past three or four years.
What has been on the rise, Buddhist Cindy Corey said, are requests for rituals to protect homes from foreclosure.
Buddhism offers a response to that situation through a variety of rituals to spiritually cleanse homes of negative karma and spirits, said Corey, a teacher at Maitreya Kadampa Buddhist Center in Atlantic Beach.
"More people are worried about losing their homes or losing businesses that are associated with the real estate market," she said.
Sullivan said he's skeptical about the St. Joseph tradition. "My own thoughts are it's a totally superstitious thing."
But he is asked about it occasionally. One time he was checking in for a medical appointment when the receptionist, a non-Catholic, asked him if she should use the ritual to sell her home.
"'I said, 'I can't believe you're a Baptist, asking me this.'"
Broach disagrees with those who downplay the practice. The ritual includes saying a prayer asking the saint - patron of homes and families - to intercede in their efforts to sell a home.
"We believe in intercessory prayer through the saints," said Broach, a parishioner at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Jacksonville. "It's all about devotion."

JOKE: Chicken Feathers
Don't Tell Grandma to Shut Up..You Hear?
An Apple Valley,Minnesota grandmother has been charged with felony assault after she allegedly went after her 12-year-old granddaughter with a knife during a dispute involving a jigsaw puzzle.
Parbati Kalicharan, 64, was chopping up peppers Saturday when she became angry with her granddaughter for saying "shut up," according to a criminal complaint filed in Dakota County District Court. It charges Kalicharan with second-degree assault and alleges that the incident unfolded this way:
The girl told police that she was putting together her puzzle when her grandma became angry about what she had said, walked over, ripped up the puzzle box and tossed it in the garbage. The girl then pleaded with her grandma for the box so that she could use the picture on it to finish her puzzle. But her grandmother ripped the box into even smaller pieces.
Then, the girl reported, her grandma snatched the puzzle itself from a place mat and threw away all the pieces. The girl told her grandma that she didn't like her and hid under the kitchen table. A few moments later, the girl went to the refrigerator but Kalicharan chased her behind a couch, wielding the knife.
Somehow, the girl got a cut about three-quarters of an inch long inside one of her ears.
Police were summoned, and when officers got to Kalicharan's home, they asked her where the knife was that had been used in the assault.
At first, the grandmother told police that no knife was involved. Then, she told them that she had washed the knife and put it away.
Kalicharan told police that she did have the knife in her hand, but had held it by the blade, showing the handle to the girl while threatening to hit her with it. She said she did not show the blade to the girl or cut her.
The girl's injury did not appear to be serious.
Police took Kalicharan to the Dakota County Jail on Saturday. On Tuesday, she posted $1,500 cash for bail that had been set at $15,000 and was released.
'tis so queer to find a beer guzzling deer
A deer is fed a bottle of beer at a resort in Weihai, northern China's Shandong province. According to Zhang Xiangxi, who works as a waitress at the resort's restaurant, she discovered the deer's unusual tastes last November when she was cleaning up after some customers.
She says: "I saw a bottle of beer was still half full so I playfully passed it to the deer. Unexpectedly it bit the bottle and raised its head and drank all the beer in one shot."
Since then, says Zhang, whenever there is any leftover beer she takes it to feed to the deer. She comments: "It has a growing addiction to beer. To begin with it was half a bottle but now it is several big bottles in a row.
Her daily feed is around two bottles of beer." Zhang adds: "I don't know what her maximum appetite for beers is though we once tried giving her four bottles of beer and she drank them all"
Man replaces girlfriend with custom-made sex doll
A sex-starved businessman was so hung up on his ex-girlfriend after she dumped him that he paid $22,500 to recreate her as a life-sized sex doll.
The 50-year-old man put together a collection of photos of his ex and told Italian adult toymaker Diego Bortolin: "I want it just like her but with bigger boobs". Mr Bortolin, who hasn't named the man, creates extremely realistic sex dolls at the factory behind his shop, named "Temptations" in English, in Treviso, Italy.
"She was a smiling blonde girl but he wanted bigger boobs and a curvier backside," Mr Bortolin said. "Our normal dolls are very realistic and everything works just like the real thing. Mr Bortolin said he usually charges around $5000 for the dolls, but that this particular project was more expensive "because we had to replicate everything, right down to the shape of her nails and teeth".
The doll weighs 58kg/128 lb and is about 1.6m tall. Mr Bortolin said the doll is fully flexible and can take on any movement or position a human can. "She is now the perfect girlfriend as far as I can see," Mr Bortolin said.
