I think I can see how he might have managed it ....

[flatandy]

Hmm. So he was healthy, in summer, in a place full of running water and vegetation and (presumably) wildlife. It wouldn't be easy to survive but it's not exactly the toughest conditions.

[perrykneeham]

He looked like he might have had some .... errrr .... reserves. It's not like you can see his ribs, is it?

How utterly odd.

"Members of an "anti-establishment cult" who stormed into a court with handcuffs have been found guilty of trying to kidnap a coroner.

Mark Christopher, 59, Matthew Martin, 47, Shiza Harper, 45, and Sean Harper, 38, wanted to "shut down" Essex Coroner's Court and abduct senior coroner Lincoln Brookes in April 2023.

They were part of a "conspiracy theory" group who believed they could overrule the judicial system in England and Wales, a trial heard.

All four have been found guilty at Chelmsford Crown Court of conspiracy to kidnap and conspiracy to commit false imprisonment."

Sovereign citizen and other nutjobs rightwing libertarians are a weird bunch, on one level they are like all libertarians, utterly dependent on a system they refuse to acknowledge and certainly don't understand, on another level they are, at their core, grifting freeloaders.

Anyway, good outcome.

“HANOI – A 31-year-old Indian national in Vietnam nearly lost his life after inserting a live eel, about 65cm long, into his anus.

Viet Duc Hospital in Hanoi on July 29 said the hospital’s doctors successfully performed emergency surgery to save the patient’s life.

On July 27, the emergency department of the hospital received a male patient, 31, who arrived in a state of severe abdominal pain. Upon obtaining the patient’s medical history, it was revealed that he had inserted a large eel into his anus at around noon local time the same day.

The patient was immediately examined, underwent imaging, tests and an ultrasound scan. The X-ray images showed a radiopaque skeleton lying horizontally in the abdominal cavity from left to right.

Mr Le Nhat Huy, deputy director of the Colorectal and Pelvic Floor Surgery Centre at Viet Duc Hospital, said the hospital promptly arranged a team of endoscopy experts and anaesthesiologists to perform a colonoscopy in an attempt to remove the foreign object through the anus.

Unable to reach the eel via the anus and with the patient’s pain increasing, the team decided to perform emergency surgery, added Mr Huy.

The eel had bitten through the patient’s rectum and colon to escape into the abdominal cavity,” Mr Huy added.

After removing the eel, the doctors also extracted a lemon through the anus. Upon checking there was no other foreign objects, the perforation in the rectum and colon was sutured.

However, due to the high contamination of the rectum and the presence of faecal matter in the abdominal cavity, the doctors decided to create a colostomy to prevent faeces from passing through the newly sutured perforation.

According to the doctors, many people, especially young men, have a tendency to seek unusual sensations using sex toys.

Viet Duc Hospital had previously performed surgeries to remove various objects through patients’ anuses, such as wind-oil bottles, glass cups and adult toys. However, this is the first case involving a live animal, specifically an eel, being inserted into the rectum and causing perforation.“

Is the eel okay?

That's the old Sherlock Holmes technique: a lemon entry, Dr. Watsong.

This is queer. Literally too.

"A man who stalked a bus driver for nearly 60 years in the belief he was the 1950s pop star Johnnie Ray has been jailed for three years.

Kenneth Furnival, 75, bombarded John Ray, 78, with an “avalanche” of love letters and unwanted gifts over a six-decade campaign in one of the longest cases of stalking ever recorded.

Furnival’s obsession with his victim began in 1964 when Mr Ray, then 18, checked his bus ticket, Chester Crown Court heard.

Aged 15 at the time, he would send multicoloured notes to Mr Ray in which he referred to him as Johnnie Ray, complimenting him on his “blonde hair and blue eyes” and asking for signed pictures of him dressed in a blue pullover.

When Mr Ray ignored or burnt the letters, Furnival began secretly taking pictures of the father-of-two and his family and covertly spied on them as they went out on day trips to the seaside.

One letter from Furnival referred to a date when Mr Ray took his wife Jean to a restaurant and his jealousy at seeing them kissing. He also sent him Johnnie Ray CDs and DVDs.

Mr and Mrs Ray knew nothing about Furnival or what he looked like. They repeatedly tried to report him to police and handed over large bundles of letters he had sent but officers took no action, claiming they were harmless.

In 1979 they hired a lawyer to take civil action against their tormentor which resulted in him being jailed for flouting a court order, but Furnival still refused to give up his bizarre obsession.

During their ordeal the Rays never let their sons play outside as they had their father’s looks and they feared Furnival would target them too. They moved house and even changed surnames in a bid to be free of him but he would eventually catch up with them and the letters and gifts would start again.

Furnival, from Runcorn, Cheshire, was finally arrested in 2023 after the Rays captured him on their security camera when he delivered letters and a parcel of CDs through their door during a postal strike.

He had earlier sent them a Christmas card with a letter which read: “In 2023, I will burn £100, in 2024, I will burn £200, in 2025, I will burn £300, and stick it down your letterbox until it gets to £1,000. Money is no good to me unless I can buy photos of you, John Ray.” He signed off: “Kenneth Furnival, the man who knew too much.”

Police, fearing an arson attack might be imminent, searched Furnival’s home and found a framed picture covertly taken 35 years earlier of Ray on his bedroom wall. When interviewed he talked fondly of Mr Ray’s namesake who was known as the Prince of Wails for his ballads Cry and Please Mr Sun, and who died in 1990.

In court Mrs Ray, 73, who married her husband in 1973, spoke of their ordeal as Furnival was jailed after admitting stalking. “It was creepy and I was in a permanent state of anxiety,” she said."

"Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has resigned after weeks of deadly anti-government protests, putting an end to more than two decades at the top of the country's politics.

Ms Hasina, 76, fled the country, reportedly landing in India on Monday. Jubilant crowds took to the streets to celebrate the news, with some storming the prime ministerial palace, reportedly looting and vandalising parts of her former residence.

Army chief Waker-Uz-Zaman said the military would begin talks on forming an interim government."
