The Odd Files

All she needed was a little air. A major search and rescue operation in Cornwall, England, Monday discovered that reports of a body floating in the water were blown out of proportion. The actual victim turned out to be an inflatable sex doll, SWNS reported. A fisherman phoned emergency workers to report that he had spotted a lifeless body floating face down in Newquay Bay, prompting the air and sea search, the agency noted. About 90 minutes later, a helicopter crew spotted the doll in the middle of the bay, SWNS wrote. The faux female wore a "New York" T-shirt and polka-dot pants. The sex toy's giant red lips were unsmudged by the salt water. Despite the unexpected find, a rescue official pointed out that the fisherman took the right course of action in calling, the BBC noted. "The 999 caller gave accurate information which led to a successful search and a positive outcome," lifeboat operations manager Gareth Horner said. "While th...

Doctors were desperate to diagnose a teenager who couldn’t even drink water without being violently sick, but what they discovered left them stunned. Medics treating Ayperi Alekseeva found a massive hairball blocking her digestive system. The 18-year-old needed emergency surgery, or she would have died from extreme dehydration and malnourishment. The hairball, which weighed 9lbs, was formed because the girl chewed the tips of her hair, and even ate hair and bits of wool she found on the carpet at home. Ayperi, from Batken Province in Kyrgyzstan, had to be transported to a hospital in the capital city of Bishkek for treatment. Doctors said that despite looking through 50 years of medical records, they have never been able to find a case involving a hairball this large. Prof Bahadir Bebezov, who performed the life-saving surgery, added: ‘The parents brought her in after she started losing weight, and she couldn’t eat anything. By the time we got her, should could not eve...

Meet the man who suffers from 100 orgasms every day. We say ‘suffers’, because Dale Decker doesn’t enjoy a single one. His rare case of Persistent Genital Arousal Syndrome developed in September 2012 when he slipped a disk in his back while getting out of a chair. The 37-year-old said: ‘Imagine being on your knees at your father’s funeral beside his casket – saying goodbye to him and then you have nine orgasms right there. ‘While your whole family is standing behind you. It makes you never want to have another orgasm for as long as you live. ‘There’s nothing pleasurable about it because even though it might feel physically good – you’re completely disgusted by what’s going on.’ The painful pelvic episodes have made Dale housebound through fear of cumming in public – just like the time he had an orgasm in the local supermarket and saw ‘around 150 people looking straight at me’. Dale lives in Two Rivers, Wisconsin with his wife April and two sons Christian, 12, and Tayten,...

This one appears to have an eye (Picture: Gay Men Draw Vaginas) If the Kickstarter to sponsor a man’s potato salad didn’t impress you, this $37,000 attempt to publish a  book of vaginas  will. Based on the Instagram account  @gay_men_draw_vaginas , which is quite literally exactly as the name suggests, the new project hopes to pull together all the wonderful illustrations of the female anatomy as detailed by homosexual men. The social media account was launched in June this year by Shannon O’Malley after a gay friend drew a  very  impressive and detailed vagina for her. As you do. All women DO have unicorns coming out of their private parts (Picture: Gay Men Draw Vaginas) She’s since collected over 300 drawings, and the account now boasts everything from hand-drawn works of art that’ll teach us all a thing or two about what really is down  there , to designs so silly they’ll make you snort out loud and embarrass yourself. The campaign  has al...

The American news giant dropped the clanger while using a background graphic to illustrate China's deadly hornet outbreak Hong Kong at South America? Watch the video here American news network CNN made the embarrassing mistake of relocating Hong Kong - to South America. The geographical error was made on a picture used to illustrate a news story on China's outbreak of deadly hornets. And the presenter is none the wiser as she completes her piece to camera. This isn't the first time that CNN have blundered in this way. Back in January 2012 a geographically challenged employee put London in Norfolk on a map used for a story about the phone hacking scandal. For those who weren't paying attention in GCSE Geography, Hong Kong is actually situated in Asia, thousands of miles away from the point CNN would have you believe. So either these giant hornets have moved an entire land mass across the globe or someone at CNN isn't too hot on their map reading. ...

A headteacher had to apologise after a giant ‘alien’ egg terrified primary school pupils. The 1m (3ft) white egg scared some of the 250 children at Holy Trinity as rumours spread that a teacher received burns after handling it and of scratch marks on a wall. Headteacher Jon Smith told parents of an ‘amazing discovery’ but insisted it was safe. But as panic mounted, he was forced to issue an apology and explain it was a project to promote investigation. A ‘scientist’ was called to the school in Halstead, Essex, on Monday to prove the egg was safe. Source: Metro
