Stupidest Man Alive: Geoffrey Huish
I’m filing this under “Morons” — but that’s really too much of a compliment:
A rugby fan who cut out his testicles with wire cutters to mark a Wales victory is at a loss to explain why he did it.
Geoffrey Huish, 31, performed the impromptu self-surgery in February when his beloved Wales beat world champions England.
After performing the deed, Mr Huish put his severed anatomy in a bag and took them to his local social club to show fellow fans.
(Via Dean.)
UPDATE: I thought the moral of the story was: “Don’t cut off your own testicles with wire cutters” — but Xrlq sees a larger lesson here.
eeewwwww.
Well, thank GOD he won’t reproduce.

… reproduce. (h/t Patterico)…
Darleen's Place (1650a7) — 11/28/2005 @ 7:04 amThe last sentence of the linked article is this quote from Mr. Huish:
“I can’t have kids now but still want a family – maybe I’ll adopt.”

There’s a country song out, “What’s a guy got to do to get a girl in this town?” I’m thinking that this isn’t quite the right way.

We salute the improvement of the human genome
by honoring those who remove themselves from it in really stupid ways.
Of necessity, this honor is generally bestowe…
This just after reading the slaver’s hold scene in Kim Stanley Robinson’s Years of Rice and Salt… urghhh…
