I'll See Your Dead Cat Skull And Raise You One

My good buddy Dave sent me a real winner. I opened the photo and instinctively wanted to curl into a fetal position. I can't even imagine what you guys are going to do when you see this one.

Warning: this is really gross. Remember the fish hook in the eye I posted a while back? This is worse.

Click "Continue reading..." to see what happens when you take a leak on a 3-phase electrical fence.

UPDATE: Alert reader and occasional taunter, Chris H., runs the picture through a Snopes check and finds that the photo is actually a poor sap who was treated for genital herpes in China. As Gary says...either way, "Ouch."

Men...doI hear a collective, "Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh..."?

My guess is that this guy should have slowed down....and quite possibly should have used a lubricant.

It doesn't really bug ME, but that's because I know it's not mine.

That's why you always let the other guy go first.

Actually, the moral of this story is:
"Don't seek treatment for genital herpes in China. Here's the real story behind the picture."

Either way you look at it, OW.

Either way, it's definitely gonna leave a mark....

If this happened in the U.S.; this guy may have problems urinating, but he'd probably be able to buy himself a solid gold toilet with the malpractice money he'd receive from the lawsuit.

A month or so ago I saw an episode of "Myth Busters" where they tried to determine whether it was possible to electrocute yourself by peeing on the electrified third rail of a subway. They, in their usual ingenious style, came up with a way to test this without anyone getting an electric eel. Using a life-sized, anatomically correct model and a real electric rail they determined that it was impossible for this to happen because the "flow" wasn't solid and steady enough to transmit the arc. Once that was determined they decided to find out what you'd have to do to accomplish such a thing. Only by increasing the flow to 3x the usual amount of a healthy adult, positioning the model only one foot from the rail, and standing the model on a wet platform could they transmit a lethal amount of shock.

And you thought you couldn't learn anything from television.
