Peeing with a fish can be hazardous to your health!

A 2cm long fish apparently found it's way into the penis of a 14-year-old boy from India in a bizarre medical case.

The patient was admitted to hospital with complaints of pain, dribbling urine and acute urinary retention spanning a 24-hour period. According to the boy, the fish slipped into his penis while he was cleaning his aquarium at home.

Professor Vezhaventhan and Professor Jeyaraman, who treated the boy and later wrote a paper on the case, explained: "While he was cleaning the fish tank in his house, he was holding a fish in his hand and went to the toilet for passing urine. When he was passing urine, the fish slipped from his hand and entered his urethra and then he developed all these symptoms."
Hmmm, that story sounds rather fishy.

Toilet Trouble

My toilet is obnoxious. Once a week or so I have to open up the tank and screw around with the mechanism. It's not that it's worn out or broken. It's defective by design. It involves a buoyant valve in the bottom of the tank which is lifted by a chain connected to a lever that extends from the flush handle.

The first problem is the way the chain is attached to the lever. A simple metal clip goes through a hole in the arm and a ring on the end of the chain. Every so often either the chain or the lever will slip out of the clip, disconnecting the mechanism. Usually the chain will fall into the valve and prevent it from closing.



The other problem is that the chain is long enough to become hooked under the valve's hinge, jamming everything up.



If I wasn't a looser renter I'd replace the whole setup with something that works better.

Maybe it's just me, but French and Japanese sounds the same.
