Airport screener snaps after months of teasing over small penis

A Miami airport screener flew into a rage and attacked a co-worker after a new body scanner revealed he had a small penis. Rolando Negrin, 44, had endured months of ribbing by his colleagues after walking through the high-detail body scanner during a training session, and police say he eventually snapped, pummeling fellow screener Hugo Gorno with a baton. Negrin “could not take the jokes anymore and lost his mind,” police said.

Sandra Bullock’s marriage broke up partly because she sleeps with nine dogs, according to the woman who broke up her marriage. Michelle “Bombshell” McGee, whose affair with Bullock’s husband, Jesse James, led to the couple’s breakup, said last week that James was irked by Bullock’s insistence on inviting all nine of the couple’s dogs into bed. That practice put a damper on their sex life, and James went off looking for excitement elsewhere. “I feel bad for her, I do,” said McGee. “But she slept with all the dogs in the bed.”

Chinese man trapped in mud too embarrassed to phone for help

A Chinese man spent 11 hours trapped in mud on the bank of a river because he was too embarrassed to phone for help. Rescuers found Xiao Chen, 25, who had become stuck in the mud while swimming alone, after he had been missing four hours, and were shocked to find he had a working cell phone with him in a waterproof bag. Chen explained he had refrained from using the phone for fear of “losing face.” For the same reason, he then refused to let rescuers remove his pants, keeping his legs trapped in the mud for another seven hours. “He could have been out in one or two hours,” said frustrated firefighter Zhou Xin.
