4. 72 Year Old Australian Hero Fought of a Gang of Crocs with a Wrench

Ray Mccomber and his buddy were on a crabbing trip in the north of Australia, minding their own business, when a saltwater croc decided to capsize their boat. His friend, who was unable to swim, drowned. Mccomber was able to get back on the boat and to avenge his friend, he grabbed a wrench and started bashing the croc’s head in. To his dismay, this just urged other crocs to join in. He pulled some spark plugs out of the boats motor and started electrocuting the crocs as he made it back to shore. He was found several hours later next to some mangroves with pretty minor injuries, considering the ordeal that he had just gone through.

As ridiculous as it sounds, it’s true. In Spain, there has been a rise in sexual roulette parties. What exactly happens in these parties, you ask? Well, it’s an orgy where no condoms are allowed and one participant is secretly infected with HIV. It usually involves gay men, but not exclusively. Participants say that they do it for the “thrill.”

It’s stuff like this that makes you question humanity. Bad humans.

Thomas Manning lost his penis to penile cancer in 2012 but had a new one attached just last week! He is the first American to go through the procedure. Thanks to the donor, Thomas can look forward to urinating while standing up and even has a chance at resurrecting his sex life. He hopes that his successful transplant will shine a light and help other people, especially wounded veterans. Thomas got his donor from a younger male who died and wishes to express his gratitude by treating his family to some donuts!

If you ask me, he should treat them to some hotdogs.

Enough with the sad stories. To cap things off, here’s Kevin, a cat who looks permanently surprised, to lighten up the mood. Kevin has hydrocephalus, a disease wherein there is excess fluid in the brain. This condition has rendered Kevin partially deaf and blind. Abandoned when he was just four weeks old, a veterinary nurse adopted and raised him. They even just celebrated Kevin’s fourth birthday together! When asked to comment about her pet’s condition about his condition, the nurse merely said that Kevin was “special.”
