This is no way to do your own colonoscopy. Vietnamese doctors removed a live 2-foot-long eel from a man’s abdomen — that had chewed through his intestines after he shoved it up his anus. The nauseating discovery was made when a 31-year-old Indian national was admitted to Viet Duc Hospital in Hanoi on July 27 with excruciating abdominal pain, according to Vietnam News. Doctors learned that the adventurous patient had slipped the phallic fish up his backside earlier in the day — and it tried to escape. “The eel had bitten through the patient’s rectum and colon to escape into the abdominal cavity,” said Le Nhat Huy, vice director of the Department of Colorectal and Perineal Surgery. The patient was immediately examined and underwent several imaging tests, including an X-ray that showed the eel’s skeleton lying inside his abdominal cavity. Doctors attempted to remove the foreign object through the man’s anus — but they discovered a large lime that he had also inserted blocking the way...

Federal officials expect transportation systems will largely return to normal operations by Saturday, following a massive IT outage for Windows users that knocked out systems for transportation, delivery and health care. Airports on Friday were crowded with stranded travelers as major U.S. airlines grounded flights. Several health-care providers delayed some scheduled procedures. Emergency 911 call service was disrupted in some areas. Cybersecurity company CrowdStrike pointed to a defect in an update it had delivered for Microsoft’s Windows systems. Microsoft and CrowdStrike said the underlying problems were being fixed, but the incident underscored how a software glitch can have profound ripple effects. Businesses around the world reported issues with Microsoft Windows overnight Thursday into Friday, with users citing “blue screen of death” (BSOD) errors. At least some systems resumed functioning shortly afterward, but companies across multiple industries were affected...

Legendary fitness guru and TV star Richard Simmons has died at the age of 76. The Los Angeles Police Department responded to Simmons' home earlier on Saturday after a call from his housekeeper. ABC News report that Simmons, who revealed in March he had been diagnosed with skin cancer, died of natural causes and there is no suspicion of foul play. It comes a day after Simmons turned 76 and posted a message to fans on Facebook. His message read: 'Thank you...I never got so many messages about my birthday in my life! I am sitting here writing emails. Have a most beautiful rest of your Friday. Love, Richard'. On Friday, Simmons also revealed his fun plans to celebrate his birthday in a very rare interview. He told People: 'But the candle will probably be on a zucchini. You know, I'm a vegetarian.' Reflecting on turning 76, he added: 'I feel good! I am grateful that I'm here, that I am alive for another day. I'll spend my birthday doing what I do every day, which is to help...

just kidding, it's some back water shit hole in MN. Officials in Blue Earth County are closely monitoring the Rapidan Dam southwest of Mankato Monday amid concerns about a potential dam failure. The county says the rain-swollen Blue Earth River has cut around the west side of the dam and there are concerns about debris in the river. Blue Earth County Sheriff Jeff Wersal described the the dam as being in “imminent failure condition.” It’s unknown whether the dam will completely fail or stay in place. Only two residents were identified in the emergency operations plan near the dam. Mankato is currently not in imminent danger of another flood, Wersal said. “You know, it’s gonna raise the water level. But for right now, our main concern is debris in the water. But it is a mess currently,” he said. Wersal says if the threat rises then the public will be notified. Xcel Energy reported nearly 600 customers were without power after flood waters washed away a substation near the dam. The...
