Bite Your Tongue

Fucked up tongue-eating parasite found off Jersey coast(?)



The sea-dwelling parasite attacks fish, burrows into it, and then devours its tongue. After eating the tongue, the parasite proceeds to live inside the fish's mouth. There's a horror film waiting to be made about this thing. Surprisingly, the fish doesn't seem to suffer any severe impediment--just the loss of its tongue--and seems to have no trouble surviving with its new, far uglier tongue.

Book of Horrors

Recently discovered book details the horrors of 18th century surgery

We all know medicine has come a long way in the past century. Now a 300-year-old guidebook, recently found on a dusty shelf, reveals how horrible things were way back then. The book, written in 1712 and titled "Treatise of the Operations of Surgery," gives advice on such horrific procedures as amputations — before anesthesia was invented.

Barf After Reading

A man known as the "Stew Maker" was busted recently.

He was known as El Pozolero — The Stew Maker — but his ingredients were less than savoury.

The job of Santiago Meza López was to dispose of the enemies of a notorious drug baron by dissolving them in tubs of acid. Over several years he claims to have "disappeared" 300 enemies of Teodoro García Semental, a former henchman for one of the largest cartels in Mexico and now in a bloody struggle for supremacy over the trade.

Meza, 45, told police that, once their remains had been in the acid baths for 24 hours, he would bury them. In a twisted act of chivalry, he said he only dissolved men, refusing to make women vanish this way. He said that he was paid $600 (£440) a week by García.

Fire Starter

Homeless man set on fire in LA.

A man in his 20s was seen throwing gasoline on the man, chasing him, throwing more on him and running from the scene, said Deputy Chief Sergio Diaz. Scorch marks stained a wall Friday where the man was burned.

The burning horrified even officers who routinely witness violent crimes, Diaz said.

"To murder somebody who's probably suffering from mental illness issues and not bothering anyone -- just a poor wretch on the street -- you've got to be a soulless nitwit to do something like this." he said.

Another Skull Story

Another story for the skull stack:

As Steven Blackwell's neighbors searched his house for money to bail him out of jail, they found rooms full of chains, pornography and knives.

They also found something even more unsettling — a human skull.

It was identified Friday as that of Allen Garner, a homeless Hills­borough County man who was found beaten to death in 2003.

But how it ended up in Blackwell's closet has sheriff's deputies puzzled.

They thought it was safely with the medical examiner.
