Your dose of Morbidity.
Ok - so once again, the back story is - I get a newsletter called "Morbid Fact Du Jour". Here's something culled from it today. I'm amused, disgusted, and nausious at the same time.

A Kenyan villager has cut off his penis and testicles with a kitchen knife "to teach his wife a lesson." Alfonse Mumbo, of Kajulu Wath Orego, near Kisumu, severed his genitalia after accusing his wife, Penina of unfaithfulness. Officers say the 38-year-old former barber said he wanted "to give her a free hand to go after other men." He told police he loved her so much, he could make the sacrifice. Mr Mumbo has told the East African Standard: "It was around 8 o'clock in the morning when I started feeling dizzy. My wife had left for the farm. I don't know what came over me. All I remember is walking around the compound anxiously and answering many calls of nature. I found myself disgusted with the penis and decided to cut it off. I went into the kitchen, took a knife, undressed and just chopped it off. The knife was too sharp and before I realised what I had done, it was too late." He said blood gushed out of the gaping hole in his crotch and he says he began screaming with pain. Mrs Mumbo came home 10 minutes after the incident, with her brother-in-law, to find her husband unconscious in a pool of blood. He was taken to the New Nyanza General Hospital, where medics had a hard time stemming the blood. Mrs Mumbo has now dismissed her husband's allegations of affairs outside the marriage. She told the newspaper she loves her husband very much, and could not do that to him. The 29-year-old says she feels sorry for her husband and has asked people to stop blaming her for his actions. "When I am walking around the village or going on safari, those who recognise me talk about me in low tones," says Mr Mumbo, who is recovering from a bladder operation.
That was gross.
Anyway - later.
