A 67-year-old man in Bucharest cut off his dick thinking it was the neck of the noisy chicken that had kept him awake for most of the night. In the early morning light, he’d hastened out into the yard in his underwear to attend quickly to the matter of the chicken; before he realized what he’d done, his dog rushed over and ate the lopped penis. No word on the chicken’s fate. (Yahoo!)

Looking at art in galleries and museums, some people have commented that “my four-year-old brings home finger paintings from school better than that.” Well, now a four-year-old girl in Birmingham, New York, is making paintings using ketchup, brushes, a spatula, and, yes, her fingers and selling them for good money. She’s already sold 25 of them for a total of $40,000, and her work is being compared to the canvasses of Pollock and Kandinsky, who ironically had often been compared to the work of children – and chimps – her age. She’s been at it since she was two. “I’m her assistant,” says her father. “I hand her the brushes. She doesn’t appreciate that most artists have to wait longer to have an assistant.” (BBC News)
