Man wakes from boozy night out to find his penis chopped off
A man woke up after a boozy night to discover his penis had been hacked off — and he had no idea how it happened, it’s reported.
Tan Nan had allegedly been out with friends in Hunan, southern China when he became so drunk he fell asleep, according to local media reports.
When he came round the following morning he felt a sharp pain in his groin, then noticed his genitals had been chopped off, reported Chinese-language local paper STEN. Police are now investigating the bizarre case.
Nan allegedly told cops he had no idea who was responsible for the cruel prank.
According to the Sanxiang Metropolis Daily, the 44-year-old from Huaihua, Hunan, was bleeding profusely but several hospitals apparently turned him away as they were not equipped for such an operation.
Finally, he was taken to Changsha Hospital and treated by microsurgery experts, according to reports.
Local media reported that Dr. Wu Panfeng, who treated Nan, said usually parts of the body that had been amputated should be kept in a dry, refrigerated manner.
After seven hours of surgery, his manhood was reported to have been successfully reattached.
Now he is recovering and doing well, medics have said.

A teen is set to graduate from high school and Harvard within 11 days
Braxton Moral walked across the stage Sunday at his high school in Ulysses, Kansas, as a newly-minted graduate.
Less than two weeks later, the 17-year-old is set on May 30 to mark another milestone: receiving his undergraduate degree from Harvard University.
Moral’s parents enrolled him at the world-renowned institution when he was just 11, he told CNN.
“My parents noticed I was bored in school and needed something to inspire growth, so they ended up finding the Extension School,” he said.
Harvard Extension School is mostly for nontraditional learners, be it someone with a job or who’s not in the age range of a typical college student, Moral said.
Most courses can be taken online, but Extension School students also must earn 16 credit hours in person at the iconic campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts, said Moral, who majored in government with a minor in English. Moral is currently a degree candidate from the school, a Harvard University spokesman confirmed.
An extraordinary vocabulary and a stunning memory
Studying for both high school and Harvard at the same time wasn’t easy, Moral said. But officials at his high school took a lot of the load off, allowing him to spend a couple hours each day working on Harvard’s coursework, he said.
Moral has always been drawn to law and politics, and he’s now hoping to go to law school, preferably at Columbia University, he said.
“I am, of course, excited to end this chapter of my life and anxious to begin the next,” he said.
Moral’s older sister, 29-year-old Brittney Jo Seger, told CNN her brother has always been talented.
“When he was little, his vocabulary was extraordinary,” she said. “Something my mom, sister and I noticed early on was his memory. That’s one of the things that makes him incredible. But he can look at anything or read anything, and he will instantly remember it forever.”
“This didn’t always benefit us older kids!” she joked.
Watching Moral walk across the stage during his first graduation was bittersweet, Seger said, because their parents couldn’t be there due to their mother’s health issues.
“My mother got a kidney transplant the week before, and my mother and father couldn’t be there because of that. We are a very close family, so we gathered together to help honor him in such a special time,” Seger said. “We can’t wait for Harvard graduation next week and for Brax to start a new chapter in his life and focus on his love for politics.”
Moral is also publishing a book, “Harvard in the Heartland,” about his experience as “an intellectually gifted boy from a small farming town in Western Kansas,” according to the book synopsis.

High school student named valedictorian while homeless, earns $3M in scholarships
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – A teenager in Memphis, Tennessee, exceeded the goals he set for himself – and then some.
Tupac Mosley, 17, a Raleigh Egypt High School graduate was not only named valedictorian, but he told WHBQ he received about 50 scholarships for more than $3 million. He said he was accepted into more than 40 colleges. Mosley reportedly chose Tennessee State University where he will major in electrical engineering.
Mosley said his goal was to receive $1 million in college scholarships.
WHBQ reports Mosley became homeless his senior year. “After my father passed, we fell behind on bills and we ended up getting evicted from our home February 21 of this year,” the teen said.
Mosley told the TV station he and his family have been staying at a place called For the Kingdom — a camping site and nonprofit organization that helps urban children and teens.
During his speech at graduation, he thanked his teachers for always believing in him.
The teen had a very important message: “Never let your current situation, whatever circumstances you’re going through, be a mountain that you can’t climb.”

North Carolina class teaches kids as young as 6 to use guns
“There was no other class like this,” said Michael Pegram, firearm trainer. “So, I decided to come up with it.”
Aiden, 9, is a graduate of one of Pegram’s gun safety classes near Mint Hill, North Carolina.
The children spend four hours both in classroom time and shooting.
They start with a Nerf gun and work up to a .22 or a 9 mm.
“It’s the parent’s choice of what their kids should be around,” Pegram said. “I’m just offering a class to let them learn to be safe if they’re going to be around them.”
Some students start as young as 6-years-old.
“A lot of times they’re not shooting 9 mm, but once in a blue moon if they know what they’re doing and I know they can do it, we have done that,” Pegram said.
Pegram has had some social media feedback and he said there’s extremes on either side.
“People are extremely against it or they’re extremely for it,” he said.
Aiden said he’s learned about safety.
“If you see a gun, tell your parents and never, never point a gun at people,” he said.
Which for Pegram, is what it’s all about, taking the unknown away from kids.
“They don’t have the knowledge to be safe when they do come across guns,” Pegram said.
Pegram says he didn’t think there would be any opposition to what he was doing.
He says he was surprised by the negative comments on social media.

10-Foot-Tall Stone Jars ‘Made by Giants’ Stored Human Bodies in Ancient Laos
Article via LiveScience
More than 100 giant stone jars, thought to have been used in burial rituals thousands of years ago, have been rediscovered at ancient sites in forests, on hillsides and along mountain ridges in remote central Laos.
The carved stone jars are scattered across miles of the rugged, tiger-haunted Xiangkhouang province, about 200 miles (320 kilometers) north of Laos’ capital, Vientiane, in South Asia. They have been dubbed “jars of the dead” by researchers.
Several human burials, thought to be around 2,500 years old, have been found at some of these sites in Laos, but nothing is known about the people who originally made the jars. [In Photos: Exploring the Mysterious Plain of Jars Site]
An expedition of archaeologists from Laos and Australia visited the Xiangkhouang region in February and March this year to document known jar sites and to search for new jars-of-the-dead sites and stone quarries.
The new finds show that the mysterious culture that made the stone jars was geographically more widespread than previously thought, said Louise Shewan, an archaeologist at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, and one of the expedition leaders.
The largest and best-known jar site is the famous Plain of Jars, located in relatively open country near the town of Phonsavan. That site contains around 400 carved stone jars, some as tall as 10 feet (3 m) and weighing more than 10 tons (9,000 kilograms), and the first archaeological investigation of it was made in the 1930s.
But Shewan said that the majority of the jar sites usually contained fewer than 60 carved stone jars, and were found in forested and mountainous terrain surrounding the Plain of Jars, spread over thousands of square miles.
Ancient stone jars
Shewan told Live Science that the search for new jar sites took the expedition into “extremely rugged, forested terrain,” as the researchers looked for ancient relics reported by local people.
Relying on local knowledge meant the archaeologists could avoid the ever-present danger of unexploded Vietnam War-era bombs, she said. U.S. warplanes dropped an estimated 270 million cluster bombs on Laos during the war. The Laos government agency that oversees clearance efforts reports that more than 80 million unexploded bombs are scattered around the country.

The latest expedition, in addition to accurately mapping many of the reported sites in the Xiangkhouang region, found 15 new jar sites, containing a total of 137 ancient stone jars.
Shewan said that the newly discovered jars were similar to those found on the Plain of Jars, but some varied in the types of stone that they were made from, their shapes and the way the rims of the jars were formed.
Burial rituals
Local legends include a story that the enormous stone jars were made by giants, who used the vessels to brew rice beer to celebrate a victory in war.

But archaeologists think that at least some of the carved stone jars were used to hold dead bodies for a time, before their bones would be cleaned and buried. [Top 10 Weird Ways We Deal with the Dead]
Although the remains of elaborate human burials have been found at some of the jar sites, archaeologists aren’t sure if the jars were made for the purpose of the burials or if the burials were performed later.
Excavations in 2016 revealed that some of the stone jars were surrounded by pits filled with human bones and by graves covered by large carved disks of stone. These appear to have been used to mark the grave locations.
The latest expedition also found buried disks and other artifacts. Those included several beautifully carved stone disks, decorated on one side with concentric circles, human figures and animals. Curiously, the stone discs were always buried with the carved side face down.
“Decorative carving is relatively rare at the jar sites, and we don’t know why some disks have animal imagery and others have geometric designs,” expedition co-leader Dougald O’Reilly, an archaeologist at Australian National University in Canberra, said in a statement.
The excavations around some of the stone jars also revealed decorative ceramics, glass beads, iron tools, decorative disks that were worn in the ears and spindle whorls for cloth making. Researchers also discovered several miniature clay jars that looked just like the giant stone jars and that were buried with the dead.
The scientists will now use the data and photographs from the new jar finds to reconstruct the sites in virtual reality at Monash University; then, archaeologists across the globe can use the VR to examine the sites in detail.
Instagram Model Smashes Nose Off 200-Year-Old Statue In Hope of Getting More Followers
An Instagram model has been slated for breaking the nose off a 200-year-old statue in a desperate bid for likes.
Julia Slonska has lost a lucrative advertising deal after smashing the statue in a misguided attempt to gain more Instagram followers. ADVERTISINGinRead invented by Teads
The moment she defaced the angel sculpture with a hammer in Warsaw’s Swiss Valley Park was captured on camera and has been shared widely online.
In footage lasting six seconds, the influencer looks at the camera and laughs before hitting the statue’s face in a number of rapid blows.
Quickly, the nose of the statue tumbles to the ground which induces laughter from Slonska’s friend.
According to News.com.au , a video of the incident was posted on Youtube which amassed over 6,000 views before it was taken down.
She was also tagged in the clip also uploaded to her friend’s Instagram where she received a massive backlash from viewers.
Julia and her pal reportedly concocted the scheme in an attempt to get more likes and clicks on the influencer’s social media accounts.
Twitter users rushed to slam her behaviour with some saying she was “dumb and brainless” where others thought she should face legal action.
Twitter user Mehmet Susaz wrote: “She has to be in jail” where another twitter user wrote “I hope the police will come to her tomorrow {Monday] at 6am”.
Following the uproar online, the model has been released from an advertising partnership with the online Polish bank mBank.
mBank have since said that the company was appalled by her behaviour.
They posted on Instagram: “We definitely do not support such behaviour, and the appropriate services should deal with it.
“As for the responsibility for what the actress does many weeks after the completed photos are taken – we cannot be responsible for the individual choices of such people.
“In this case, it’s a role for carers. We do not plan to involve this girl in the next spots.”
In an apology translated from Polish, Julia said: “What happened yesterday should not have taken place at all and seriously, I regret that I did it.
“I’m so stupid. I will not say what was driving me, why I did it, because it is more of a private affair, but I really wanted to apologize to everyone.”

Millionaire to be sentenced for having sex with teen on autopiloted plane
A New Jersey millionaire could be heading to the slammer for the next five years after engaging in sexual acts with a minor — including once on his private plane while it was in autopilot mode, according to a federal complaint.
Stephen Bradley Mell, of Somerset County, was allegedly introduced to the 15-year-old girl by her mother — who wanted the teen to take flying lessons, the Bridgewater Courier News reports, citing the complaint.
Mell, a 53-year-old father of three, began chatting with the girl in 2017 — exchanging text messages and SnapChat photos — before eventually arranging to meet up at his $3.8 million mansion in Bedminster, the complaint says.
Mell allegedly “performed oral sex acts” on the girl on June 20 and then again several weeks later after sending her a message that said, “Miss you so much.”
The two of them would often discuss having sex and using birth control, with Mell allegedly purchasing an emergency contraceptive pill on July 6, the complaint says.
“If you are nervous it will hurt more,” Mell allegedly told the girl in a text. “When you are turned on is when it will feel ok.”
The two of them would meet up weeks later — on July 20 — for their private flight out of Somerset Airport, the complaint says. They allegedly flew to Barnstable, Mass., on Cape Cod “for the purpose of engaging in illicit conduct, specifically, a sexual act.”
It was on the flight back that Mell — an active community member who did volunteer work for a number of charities, including the New Jersey Conservation Foundation — allegedly put the aircraft on autopilot.
He and the teen communicated throughout the summer of 2017 and up until that November, when the last correspondence was documented, the complaint says.
“Send me a nice naked pic cute thing,” Mell begged. His wife would eventually divorce him after the relationship was revealed, the Courier News reports.
Mell — who pleaded guilty last year to engaging in interstate travel to engage in illicit sexual conduct with a minor, as well as child pornography — is scheduled to appear in federal court Tuesday for sentencing.
In addition to federal prison, the millionaire philanthropist is facing a multi-year sentence in the state pen for endangering the welfare of a child by engaging in sexual relations with a female victim under the age of 16.
Mell will be sentenced for those crimes in July.

Florida man allegedly threatened to behead cops, eat their eyes
A Florida man allegedly threatened to behead police officers then “eat their eyes and tongues” while he was under arrest.
Ken Freeman, 50, remains held on bond Monday after he repeatedly threatened to decapitate six officers in a Brevard County parking lot, the Melbourne Police Department said.
Police were called to the scene Thursday after Freeman got into a fight with another driver who cut him off on the road.
Freeman and the other man “flipped each other off” before he followed the driver into a Dick’s Sporting Goods parking lot, authorities said.
That’s when Freeman allegedly exited his vehicle carrying a large knife, punched the other driver in the shoulder and held up the weapon to the man’s ear.
“I’ll cut your f–king head off in front of your family!” Freeman said, according to the affidavit.
Police then arrived to the mall parking lot, where Freeman allegedly repeatedly threatened the six officers.
“He stated several times he would cut officers’ heads off and eat their eyes and tongues,” police records said.
Freeman was booked into Brevard County Jail on charges for assault, battery and threatening death or serious bodily harm to a law enforcement officer.
He is scheduled to be arraigned June 13.

Thief steals chemo medication from patient’s porch
A brazen thief stole chemotherapy medication from an Oklahoma City man’s doorstep just minutes after it was delivered, delaying his treatment for brain cancer.
James Mills, 43, said his planned round of chemotherapy on Monday would not happen after a hooded suspect swiped the potentially life-saving delivery from his porch on Saturday.
“I checked the door and didn’t see the package,” Mills told KFOR. “I double checked and they said it had been delivered. I check the security cameras, and I saw the UPS driver deliver it, then about eight minutes later another individual comes up, grabs it and takes off.”
Video shows that the suspect took steps to avoid identifying himself during the heartless heist, keeping his head down and away from two cameras installed on Mills’ porch.
“I’m set to start a rotation of chemo [Monday] and it takes a day at least to get that mail ordered to us, so that’s kind of my concern at this point,” Mills told the station. “Every thing has to be taken at a certain time, at a certain dose … so hopefully I can get a replacement before I get too far out of range.”
Mills’ wife, Heather, said she was seething over the aggravation the thief has caused her husband.
“It’s not easy to get, I mean, we had trouble getting medicine to begin with,” she told the station. “Just having to call the pharmacy and go through the doctor and get approvals and things like that, so just that in itself is frustrating. So now to have to go through it all over again, just to get a replacement, it made me really angry.”
Mills said the pharmacy was closed over the weekend, leaving him without another option until it reopened early Monday.
“It’s pretty expensive medication as well,” Mills told the station. “We’ll have to find out what the procedure is to get [a] replacement.”
Mills, who did not immediately return a message seeking comment Monday, has filed a report with Oklahoma City police regarding the theft and told investigators that the medication without insurance assistance was worth $30,000, according to an incident report.
No arrests had been made as of Monday afternoon, police confirmed to The Post.
