Temat: Meanwhile in Australia, fight over a rat claims two lives...

for some more news regarding sexual tendencies of a squid please refer to the following article:

SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP) -- Marine biologists studying wild octopuses have found a kinky and violent society of jealous murders, gender subterfuge and once-in-a-lifetime sex.


Researchers say wild octopuses are far from the shy, unromantic loners their captive brethren appear to be.


The study by researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, who journeyed off the coast of Indonesia found that wild octopuses are far from the shy, unromantic loners their captive brethren appear to be.

The scientists watched the Abdopus aculeatus octopus, which are the size of an orange, for several weeks and published their findings recently in the journal Marine Biology.

They witnessed picky, macho males carefully select a mate, then guard their newly domesticated digs so jealously they would occasionally use their 8-to-10-inch tentacles to strangle a romantic rival.

The researchers also observed smaller "sneaker" male octopuses put on feminine airs, such as swimming girlishly near the bottom and keeping their male brown stripes hidden in order to win unsuspecting conquests.

And size does matter -- but not how you'd think.

"If you're going to spend time guarding a female, you want to go for the biggest female you can find because she's going to produce more eggs," said UC Berkeley biologist Roy Caldwell, who co-wrote the study. "It's basically an investment strategy."

Shortly after the female gives birth, about a month after conception, the mother and father die, researchers said.

"It's not the sex that leads to death," said Christine Huffard, the study's lead author. "It's just that octopuses produce offspring once during a very short lifespan of a year."

Cockroach Slain
TEL AVIV - An Israeli woman's fight with a stubborn cockroach put her husband in the hospital with burns, a broken pelvis and broken ribs, the Jerusalem Post reported. The woman, frightened by the insect when she found it in the living room, stepped on it, threw it in the toilet and sprayed a full can of insecticide on it when it refused to die.

Her husband came home from work, went to the toilet and lit a cigarette. When he threw the cigarette butt into the bowl, the insecticide ignited, "seriously burning his sensitive parts," the Post wrote. When paramedics were called to the home in Tel Aviv, they laughed so hard when they learned what had happened that they dropped the stretcher down the stairs, breaking the unidentified man's pelvis and ribs.

Man Accidentally Glues Penis to Vacuum Cleaner

Captain Dan The Demon Dwarf who works in a show called Circus Of Horrors was horrified when he accidentally glued himself to a vacuum cleaner. The mistake happened after he misread instructions on the packet of superglue.

Captain Dan pulls the vacuum cleaner across the stage using his penis but an attachment came loose on the vacuum and he had to glue it back on. The accident happened when he waited only 20 seconds for it to dry and not the 20 minutes needed.

Hospital staff managed to remove the attachment after an hour but Dan said "It was the most embarrassing moment of my life...wheeled into a packed A&E on a wheelchair with a Hoover attached to my willie, I just wished the ground could swallow me up."

So do I.

Obviously if anyone comes across something bizarre they can post it on the thread too.

The thread would exist for 'strange' news stories.

I like the title, 'the weird world of Rafal Wolk'

It has a kind of ring to it.

sounds great... is there a way to dump other weird threads that we've covered already in? Or would it be a copy and paste job?

Unfortunately - don't think there is.

But if you were to copy and paste anything interesting - that would be great.

It would also be great to have some form of 'quality control' on the thread - I'll delete any IMHO 'crap' articles.

Darwin Awards! Here goes:
(5 July 1984, Chicago) Near the top of one of the Windy City's mighty skyscrapers, a twenty-nine-year-old attorney named Reginald was locked in a heated dispute with one of his colleagues. "They were arguing about the Olympics," remarked the firm's controller. Determined to settle the aspect under discussion, the two friends decided to have a race down a long hallway on the thirty-ninth floor of the building.

On the way down the hall, Reginald, who was not wearing his contacts due to a scratched cornea, lost his perspective and crashed through a plate-glass window. He fell thirty-eight* stories before striking the pavement, at which point his velocity was zero. A moment before he terminated his 6-second freefall, however, his velocity was approximately 94 miles per hour in a vertical direction. The abrupt velocity change proved too much for Reginald to withstand, and he promptly died.
