Washington state (USA) has agreed to pay $300,000 to an ex-prison inmate whose penis was consumed by a flesh-eating bacteria while he was behind bars....(background music from Psycho!!!!).....ok.
Charlie Manning told The Seattle Times Monday he will have $115,000 left after paying attorney's fees arising from his lawsuit and other bills. He expects to get the money this week.
"It's been a nightmare," Manning said. "I figured I should settle for what I could get because I just want it behind me. It's unreal. It's like something from Mars."
Manning, 61, was serving a 13-month sentence for a drunken fight when he became ill. The prison doctor wrongly diagnosed his symptoms as an allergic reaction to medication. It turned out he had necrotizing fasciitis and the bacteria destroyed his penis and one testicle.

A woman has been charged over an epic drinking session where she apparently stole drinks, stripped naked, kicked and bit police and flooded her cell.Lori Brutsche-Ely, was arrested on Halloween night after reports that she was stealing beer from customers in a nightclub.
She also exposed herself to a band playing at the venue, picked fights and refused to leave, claim police.
When police found her she was completely naked and was shouting at security guards outside the Mint nightclub, the US newspaper Idaho Mountain Express reported.
She allegedly kicked a security guard in the groin and later attacked a police officer.
One victim is reported as saying: "We were still trying to control the female when I felt pain in my left shoulder.
"I looked and observed the woman biting me."
When in jail police said she trashed a sprinkler, flooding the cell and attacked and bit a prison officer.
Sounds like one hell of a night. Fortunately the officer had a tetanus shot, and Brutsche-Ely had this wonderful picture taken.
Smile!

OW, OW, OW!!!! MY HAT IS RAISED TO YOU SIR!!
ok, a day early, but i wanted to be the one to post this story!
and it's up on my webpage too, i was that impressed!
the thought, "only in england" was the first to come to mind.
here 'tis
A man who sliced his arm off in a freak chainsaw accident calmly knocked on his next door neighbour's door and said: "Please help, I've just cut my arm off,".
John Stirling is believed to have been cutting a tree when his chainsaw slipped and cut his arm off below the elbow in Telscombe Cliffs, near Brighton, East Sussex, yesterday morning.
His neighbour, Steve Francis, told how Mr Stirling turned up on his doorstep after the accident. Mr Francis said he placed the arm in a bag containing frozen pastries to help keep the limb cold.
Mr Francis, 49, told the Brighton Argus: "He wasn't screaming, he was as relaxed as can be. I didn't realise anything was wrong until I looked down and saw his arm missing.
"I ran inside to call the ambulance and he sat outside on a stool. I came out and tied his arm up with a belt and towels. The ambulance people talked me through it.
"But through it all he sat there talking away like it was normal. When the ambulance came they put him on a stretcher and asked where the arm was.
"The paramedics were working on him so I went up the road and put it in a plastic Tesco shopping bag. I then put it in another bag with frozen pastries in to keep it cold.
"Then I gave the bag to one of the paramedics and they took it to hospital in the ambulance. He's a brave man, I'll give him that. I couldn't believe he didn't faint."
Mr Stirling was taken to the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton before being transferred to the Queen Victoria Hospital in East Grinstead, West Sussex.
He underwent 14 hours of specialist emergency surgery last night and a spokesman at the hospital today described him as being "very well".
The spokesman added: "He is comfortable and the early indications are that the procedure went well."
A spokeswoman for South East Coast Ambulance Service confirmed that crews attended Ambleside Avenue, Telscombe Cliffs, at 11.14am yesterday.
She said: "It was a traumatic injury which caused a lower arm amputation."
A spokesman for the Queen Victoria Hospital in East Grinstead said the lengthy surgery involved trying to reattach the limb.
"It is early days but we are hopeful it has been a success," he said.
ouch!

FOOD TO BLOW?
A pack of hotdogs posed such a threat at a stadium in Philadelphia that the whole building had to be evacuated.
Fans enjoying the match at the Citizens Bank Park had to be rushed out during the game when several suspicious packages wrapped tightly in duct tape were found outside of the buildings ticket office.
A bomb squad was called and discovered that the boxes were full of hotdogs.
However, officials didn't want to take any chances, and the hotdogs were detonated.
A police official investigating the incident said: "It was clear from when we looked at it at first glance and when you looked at the debris afterwards, there was packaging and duct tape; I don't see many hot dogs sold here with duct tape. We just did what we felt was appropriate

Kinda Heavy
A Texas woman is accused of killing her two-year-old nephew but prosecutors do not yet know how to get her to jail and court - because she weighs nearly HALF A TON !
Mayra Lizbeth Rosales, from La Jola, Texas, is bedridden and weighs nearly 1,000lbs.

But she cannot get through her front door to be taken to jail and, later, court.
----------------------------------------------------
Her excuse? She "slipped and fell on him". WTF?

FUCKING ROCKERS......*
AC/DC 'leaked song' shocker. (courtesy of classic rock's website)
"The Clog is indebted to the Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles website for alerting us to the following report from Andrew Ramadge at News.com.au:
Perhaps driven insane by an eight-year wait for new material, die-hard AC/DC fans have sunk to a hilarious new low in rock and roll fandom.
In the same week that songs from U2's upcoming album were leaked online, fans of the Australian heavy metal pioneers have given the world a preview of AC/DC's new single Rock 'N' Roll Train – played on air guitar.
Fans who attended a film-clip shoot in London last week were among the first in the world to hear the new song and, instead of leaking an unauthorised recording, have set about recreating it themselves on YouTube.
One video shows a fan dressed as Brian Johnson singing Rock 'N' Roll Train in his bedroom. Another clip features a fan 'singing' the song's main guitar riff in a series of 'nah, nah, nah' noises.
Yet another clip shows a fan playing the song on guitar, after having the riff described to him by a friend who was at the film shoot.
Rock 'N' Roll Train' is the first single from AC/DC's new album Black Ice, set to be released in October.
Last week four songs from the upcoming U2 album, rumoured to be titled No Line On The Horizon, were leaked on YouTube and then taken down.
Rather than the usual culprits, such as advance album copies and industry insiders, the source of the leak was apparently Bono himself. A fan walking past the U2's singer's villa in southern France noticed the album was playing and stopped to record it on a mobile phone.
But back to AC/DC.
You can watch a curious Italian chap (at least we think he's Italian) trying to emulate 'Beano' Johnson here.
And you can listen to an even more curious northern bloke attempting to sing Rock 'N' Roll Train (and, er, speculate what the lyrics are about) here.
Mad, innit?!"
*i must admit a passion for AC/DC how else do you think i came across this tale?
