A desperately lonely man who was unable to find a girlfriend decided he had no more use for his ? — and proceeded to cut it off.
Yang Hu, 26, from the eastern Chinese province of Zhejiang, had been battling depression over his inability to find love when he made the decision to slice off his manhood this past Sunday night after work.
Friends of Yang said the long hours he had been putting in at a local clothing factory convinced the man he would never find the time to meet a woman.
Hoping to curb his desire for a partner and believing his ? to be useless, Yang made the fateful truncation, only to quickly regret it.
He reportedly grabbed his bicycle and rode to a nearby hospital, but soon realized he had left his missing member at home.
He cycled back to retrieve it, but by the time he returned to the hospital it was too late.
Yang's friends blamed the hospital for literally adding insult to injury by failing to send an ambulance to collect Yang's personal belongings in lieu of telling him to go ride a bike.
"Natural" Diet Supplements Full of All Types of Crazy SpeedBy: Hamilton Nolan
If there's anything Americans enjoy almost as much as gobbling fried foods topped with Cheez, it's gobbling menacingly-named "diet supplements" in a desperate attempt to lose weight. Today, more evidence that Who Knows What The Hell Is Even In That ? ?
In what has become a regularly recurring story, USA Today reports that the FDA went and tested 21 of those "all natural" diet supplements in a real live science lab, and discovered that nine of the 21 contained beta-methylphenethylamine, a "'non-natural' amphetamine-like compound." Supplement companies say it is natural, because it comes from a plant called Acacia rigidula, but the FDA disputes that.
The data indicates that "all natural" products such as Fastin-XR, Stimerex, Lipodrene ? , and Dexaprine XR may be adulterated with amphetamines. But they sounded so natural! What next? Will we find out that crystal ? is not an all natural substance, as well?
Stick with NO-Xplode, kids. Or just, you know, run around the block.

Gunman and Three Others Killed in Arkansas Shootings
By: Kelly Conaboy
The AP reports that a man in Jonesboro, Arkansas shot six people in a home on Saturday, killing a man and a teenager and critically wounding two boys. He then fatally shot an employee at a nearby business.
At a press conference last night, Jonesboro police Sgt. Doug Formon said that a man and a 13-year-old girl were killed on Saturday afternoon inside a home where it appeared that a family was having a party. Four other people were injured and were taken to hospitals in Memphis, Tennessee, including two children, ages 8 and 10, who were transported in critical condition.
Formon said that police received a call about the shooting at 1:00PM and responded to a report of a second shooting twenty-two minutes later at a local business, where a worker was found dead.
Around 3:30PM, police got a 911 call about a car parked in the middle of a county road. The suspected gunman was found inside, dead of a gunshot wound. Formon stated that it wasn't immediately clear if the wound was self-inflicted.
As of Saturday night, police did not know of a motive and said that the investigation is ongoing. -
Fans Spend $400 to Stand An Arm's Length Away from Avril Lavigne
By: Kelly Conaboy
Avril Lavigne fans had the pleasure of meeting the "Hello Kitty" singer at a meet and greet after her recent performance in Brazil, during which they were instructed by security guards not to touch or hug her.
The privilege of standing somewhat close to Lavigne cost each of them nearly $400 (R$800) (and that is not including the cost of the concert ticket), but the intensely awkward photos documenting the event are priceless.

U.S. Military Plans to Destroy $1 Billion Worth of Ammunition
By: Adam Weinstein
The Pentagon plans to trash $1.2 billion in small-arms ammunition and missiles that are probably usable, but it can't be sure, because military inventory records are such a mess.
That stockpile represents thousands upon thousands of untold rifle and handgun rounds and light anti-aircraft weapons, but they're spread across all four of the military's service branches—and when an individual branch no longer has use for some of its ammunition, it's almost impossible for a needy branch to get that gear, according to a GAO report cited in USA Today:
The services have inventory systems for ammunition that cannot share data directly despite working for decades to develop a single database. Only the Army uses the standard Pentagon format; "the Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps operate with formats that are obsolete."
The services hold an annual conference to share information about surplus ammunition and swap bullets and other munitions as needed. Data about ammunition left over after the meeting disappears from the books, resulting in an unknown amount of good bullets headed to the scrap heap…
Some of the report's details sounded like bureaucratic jokes from deleted Brazil scenes:
A request for ammunition from the Marine Corps, for example, is e-mailed to the Army. The e-mail is printed out and manually retyped into the Army system because the services cannot share data directly. Not only is this time consuming, but it can introduce errors — by an incorrect keystroke, for example.
Meanwhile, the Army straight-up doesn't bother to tell anyone how many Stinger, Hellfire, and Javelin missiles it has available in its estimated $14 billion cache, so no other services know to ask for some if they need them.
On the bright side, if Uncle Sam really is destroying the ammo, domestic freedom fighters can rest safe in the knowledge that it's not being saved for martial law or the FEMA concentration camps. -

School principal fired for 'having sex with security guard and parent during school hours and leaving ? photos on department computers'
By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
A New York City high school principal has been accused of sleeping with a guard, an assistant principal and a parent on campus while classes were in session, and leaving incriminating photos of the trysts on department computers. Annie Schmutz Seifullah, 35, was escorted from Robert Wagner Secondary School of Arts and Technology, in Long Island City, Queens, Thursday, where she was principal of the 7th-12th grade. Detectives investigating the allegations seized computers and other electronics from her office and home, which, according to the New york Post, contained pictures of her wearing only lingerie and engaging in various sex acts including a threesome. 'We are appalled by these disturbing allegations and acted swiftly to remove the principal while the matter is under investigation,' a Department of Education spokesman told the Post. 'This type of alleged behavior is completely unacceptable for any DOE employee.'
The newspaper reports that Seifullah's antics were revealed after a romance with a student's father came to a bitter end and the scorned lover turned over three department laptops he obtained while living with the principal.
The unidentified dad also gave investigators a video and audio tape in which Seifullah allegedly confesses to engaging in oral sex with an NYPD school-safety agent in the school security office. She also admits to getting frisky with an assistant principal in a book-storage room during school hours, while he was visiting from another school. 'I don't know what I was thinking. I don't know why I thought it was OK,' she tells the angry father in the tape, after he accuses her of cheating. 'You gave him [expletive] while my child was in the building,' he yells in the recording, according to the Post.
The dad also claims Seifullah admitted she had multiple rendezvous with an 'old lover' in a 'hidden location' inside the school. The father said he came forward because the mother-of-one 'played me for a fool.' 'Ms. Seifullah clearly used her power and position as principal to . . . seek several sexual partners at her school,' he charged. The principal, whose annual salary is $136,959, lent her lover money, according to records, handing over $10,000, plus $500 and $300 money orders.
She also testified in Queens Family Court as a character witness in his custody battle with his wife. She spoke as both his child's principal and as the dad's 'girlfriend' while on the stand. Dating colleagues or parents of students is not against school policy however performing sexual acts inside a school or placing sexual images on school equipment could bring about misconduct charges. Sefullah uploaded a picture of herself with the father, naming him and declaring with a heart icon, on her now-defunct Facebook account last July with the caption: 'A single dad walked in the office of my school and swept me off my feet.'
The pair split in March. Seifullah filed for divorce, presumably from her four-year-old son's father, last summer. The divorce is still pending.

Scott County High teacher charged with sex abuse of student younger than 16
BY JIM WARREN
A Scott County High School teacher has been arrested on sex-related charges involving a student at the high school. Georgetown Police Capt. Robert Swanigan said Elizabeth Alexander was arrested about 12:30 p.m. Tuesday at police headquarters. Alexander was taken to the Scott County Detention Center, but she had been released by Tuesday evening. She is charged with first-degree sexual abuse and use of a minor younger than 16 in a sexual performance. Alexander is a social studies teacher at the school, according to a staff directory on the Scott County Public Schools website.
Alexander told police she and a 15-year-old boy kissed and groped each other, and Alexander asked him to text her a photo of his private parts, the Herald-Leader's reporting partner, WKYT-TV reported. Georgetown police and the Scott County Schools issued a joint statement Tuesday afternoon saying they were investigating the case.
The joint statement said police and school officials wouldn't comment further because of the investigation and because it is considered a personnel matter. "Please be assured that the Scott County School District and Georgetown Police Department will respond together with available resources necessary to ensure the safety of all students and staff," the statement said. A Facebook page for an Elizabeth Alexander says she has worked at Scott County High School since July 2012. She worked as a reading intervention teacher at Scott County Middle School from November 2011 to May 2012, and has also been a server at a Georgetown restaurant, Galvin's, since 2007.
The Facebook page says Alexander graduated from Scott County High School in 2006, earned a degree in secondary education from Georgetown College in 2010 and received her master's from Georgetown in 2013.

Target CEO Resigns in Wake of Huge Data Breach
By: Taylor Berman
Nearly five months after suffering a huge data breach, Target announced Monday morning that Gregg Steinhafel, the company's CEO since 2008, had resigned.
Steinhafel, who worked at the company for 35 years, will be replaced by Chief Financial Officer John Mulligan.
"The last several months have tested Target in unprecedented ways," Steinhafel wrote in a letter to the company's board of directors. "We have already begun taking a number of steps to further enhance data security, putting the right people, processes and systems in place. With several key milestones behind us, now is the right time for new leadership at Target."
Last December's data breach, which compromised the payment or personal data of more than 110 million customers, cost Target at least $61 million to fix, hurt holiday sales, and caused the company's credit rankings to be downgraded.

High School Girl Fed "? -Filled" Cupcakes to Kids Who Picked on Her
By: Jay Hathaway
Living well is the best revenge, but feeding your enemies ? -filled cupcakes is a close second.
A bullied high school girl in Bakersfield, Calif., reportedly put ? hair, ? , expired food, and pills into the cupcakes she handed out last Thursday to kids who picked on her. Another student asked the girl why her cupcakes tasted so bad, and she said it was because she'd filled them with ? fluids.
Police were able to confirm that the cupcakes were made with a gross combination of condiments including mayonnaise, barbecue sauce, and soy sauce, but the food was destroyed before it could actually be tested for ? . The health department has been called off of the investigation.
One student is the source of the report that the cupcakes contained ? and that they were passed out to kids who bullied the cupcake-baking girl, according to ABC 10, so take the whole story with a grain of salt.
Centennial High School has now implemented a "no outside food" policy, forcing the cancellation of a French class food day this week. Sorry, students, no pain au sperme for you.

California School Asked 8th Graders to Argue If The Holocaust Was Real
By: Dayna Evans
At the Rialto Unified School District in California, an assignment given to eighth graders asked students to argue whether they "believed the Holocaust was a real historical event or a political scheme to influence public emotion and gain wealth."
A district spokesman, Syeda Jafri, said today that this assignment was an "error" and that the school has been receiving death threats from someone they believe to be a white man in his 30s. Acccording to Police Captain Randy De Anda, the death threats are being aimed at both Jafri and interim Superintendent Mohammad Z. Islam.
A team of teachers will meet to revise the assignment, Jafri said, and Islam will talk to the district's education services department to ensure all references to the Holocaust "not occurring" are stricken on any current or future argumentative research assignment.
The San Bernardino Sun went on to describe the assignment, saying that "the 18-page assignment instructions included three sources that students were instructed to use, including one that stated gassings in concentration camps were a 'hoax' and that no evidence has shown Jews died in gas chambers."

Diabetes rate in U.S. children skyrockets THIRTY per cent in a decade as experts warn of high costs and a 'lifetime of burden'
By CHRIS PAINE
Childhood diabetes has spiraled out of control and experts fear it might be years until they catch up on just how rapidly the problem is spreading.
New figures show instances of Type-2 diabetes in children and teenagers spiked a drastic 30 per cent between 2000 and 2009, and there are fears the problem has gotten a lot worse in the untracked period in the five years since.
The complications arising from diabetes means those children affected face 'a lifetime burden', the study's author warned.
New figures released today show that 0.46 in every 1,000 kids is affected by Type-2 - with more than 20,000 sufferers across the U.S. - while the cases of Type-1 diabetes is up 21 per cent to 167,000 children. The research was presented at a Pediatric Academic Societies conference in Vancouver by Dana Dabelea, from the Colorado School of Public Health in Aurora, who authored the study.
'These increases are serious,' she said, according to USA Today.
'Every new case means a lifetime burden of difficult and costly treatment and higher risk of early, serious complications.'
Nearly 10 per cent of the entire U.S. population - 25.8 million people - is affected by diabetes. Obesity expert David Ludwig, from the Boston Children's Hospital, says the gap in tracked data since 2009 has caused the industry concern that things are getting worse. 'We don't know what happened in the last five years,' he said.
'Most likely, things have gotten worse.' The spike in Type-2 diabetes among children is particularly concerning because it's traditionally referred to as 'adult-onset' diabetes and usually only affects people over the age of 40.
And most children who do suffer from it are already obese, experts say, meaning they are facing an array of health problems including heart attacks and ? failure. -

Kindergarteners Could Face Criminal Bullying Charges in California City
By: Lindy West
The city council of Carson, California has given preliminary approval to a law that would make bullying a misdemeanor...for kids as young as kindergarten. So, what they're saying is, you can get a misdemeanor for being a mister meanie!!!!
I AM SO SORRY.
Now, I am definitely AGAINST BULLYING SO MUCH and I hate it and I think that (a lot of) the people who do it are dillweeds with a ? where their heart should be. BUT. Kindergarteners are, um, 5? Years old? They aren't young adults so much as old babies. And while I'm sure being convicted of a misdemeanor would be sufficiently traumatizing for a little tiny recently-a-baby, I'm not sure it adequately addresses the issues that lead very small children to pick on other very small children.
Via the Houston Chronicle:
The Carson City Council gave preliminary approval this week to an ordinance that would target anyone from kindergarten to age 25 who makes another person feel "terrorized, frightened, intimidated, threatened, harassed or molested" with no legitimate purpose.
...First-time offenders could be ticketed for an infraction and fined $100. A second infraction would cost $200, and a third-time offense could bring a criminal misdemeanor charge.
"If a child is bullying someone, and a parent has to pay a $100 fine as a result of that, a responsible parent will realize their child needs some help," said Councilman Mike Gipson, who introduced the ordinance and is spearheading a campaign to make Carson bully-free.
I'm just throwing this out here, but maybe if you still pronounce it "misdemeanow," you aren't old enough to be charged with one?
Obviously protecting kids—not penalizing kindergarteners—is the goal of this law, and ideologically it's a good goal. But I'm not convinced that punitive measures are the best way to correct psychological problems, control issues, and/or emotional turmoil stemming from problems at home—all of which can contribute to childhood bullying.
Also, that language is hilariously/terrifyingly vague: The law "would target anyone from kindergarten to age 25 who makes another person feel 'terrorized, frightened, intimidated, threatened, harassed or molested' with no legitimate purpose"? What is a LEGITIMATE PURPOSE to terrorize someone!?!? (Leave your suggestions in the comments plz.) It seems like a dangerous catch-all that could easily be turned against victims trying to protect themselves or marginalized groups engaged in legitimate protest.
I definitely think there should be resources in place for bullying victims—and that particular attention needs to be paid to investigating/punishing cyberbullying—but this law seems more like an extravagant gesture than a constructive solution.
The final vote will take place May 20.
