I do not have the backstory here, but surely it must be one of the immortal ones.
Man hospitalized after his penis was attacked by a Jack Russell Terrier.
That is either a very tall dog, or a very dumb man. And may I ask what kind of German keeps an attack Jack Russell?
Can’t wait to find out how the dog happened to get access to the penis…was he playing with a terrier nekkid? Stuffing Fido down his pants? And what did the owner’s girlfriend have to do with all of this?
One of my favorite websites, VillainSupply.com has apparently come under new management and taken the low road. Instead of offering sharks with frickin’ laser beams attached to their heads, secret island lairs, and the aforementioned henchmen livery, as they did back in my day, they offer:
Search Engine Optimization, Dating Chat, Dating Tips, Diethylpropion, Dirty Jokes, Flirt Chat, Live Chat, Local Chat, Lorcet, Lortab, Muscle Relaxers, Pharmacy Affiliate Programs, Other Pharmacy Affiliate Programs, Teen Dating, Tenuate, Wellbutrin SR, Affiliate Marketing, Affiliate Network Marketing, Astrology, chat, and Dating Online.
All of which strike terror into my heart. Anyone who will deal with Network Marketing is obviously the bastard son of Beelzebub. Diet pills, search engine optimization, and sex chats. Daddy would be so proud. But it’s not the way it used to be. *sniff*

Potted bio:

Famous dead celebrities celebrating birthdays today include Charlotte Bronte, poet Phyllis McGinley, and Canada’s own immortal Madame Benoit, so the dress code is accountant, repressed petticoat feminist, emo librarian, or crazy Quebecois chef. Chacun à son gout!

10 March In 1974
Lieutenant Hiroo Onoda of the Japanese army stopped fighting World War II. He dismissed the leaflets announcing the end of the war as American propaganda and remained in considerable discomfort on the tiny Philippine island of Lubang on which he had been marooned. Two years later, Shoichi Yokoi turned up in a cave on Guam, and another Japanese veteran was found in Indonesia in 1974. In December 1989, two Japanese civil engineers, who had been fighting with the communist guerrillas in Malaya since 1945, gave themselves up.
