Morbidly Curious Thread

[stonemonkts]

Figured I'd start a thread where we can post our favorite disgusting stories about individual acts of barbaric cruelty, horrific traffic accidents, microwaved babies, and anything that titillates that reptilian part of the morbidly curious brain.

I'll go first.

Damn you Six Flags!!! Sorry, I couldn't find any pictures.

Girl's feet cut off in Six Flags Kentucky accident

—
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Six Flags and Cedar Fair shut down eight more thrill rides around North America on Friday after a teenage girl's feet were sliced off during a ride in Kentucky.

State inspectors were at the Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom to examine the Superman Tower of Power, where the accident happened Thursday. The ride lifts passengers 177 feet straight up, then drops them nearly the same distance at speeds reaching 54 mph.

Last week in Namibia a father raped his four-month old twins, killing one of them. This week, the story in the papers is about a nine-month old baby who drowned in a bucket of home-brewed beer.

There you go!

mORE!!!!!

[stonemonkts]

Any decapitations in the news?

I couldn't find any. All I found in response to my queries were fucking Jolie pictures playing Pearle's wife. I want the real fucking deal.

Someone out there do me a solid. Include pics and I'll owe you big time. A video and oh baby I'll be your fiend for life!

One I remember was used in legal textbooks as an example of the Swiss Supreme courts interpretation of cold blooded cruetly as requidred for murder. A woman kille her asleep husband with an ax and then went back too sleep next to him in a puddle of blood.

Hey man this isn't a kinkmeister thread.

Although I suppose there is a sexual element involved in being obsessively drawn to the morbid.

Ok, good one. I like it.

60 Puppies Saved from Mobile Home

All Cindy Deford, a local animal control officer, could see Sunday night as she was driving to a trailer off Sage Road near Lake Skinner was bright orange flames.

Deford works with Animal Friends of the Valleys in Lake Elsinore, the region's animal shelter, and got a call from her supervisor about 5 p.m. Sunday to go out on a rescue mission to a mobile home near Lake Skinner. They had heard about 60 puppies were in a kennel outside the home, which was already on fire.

"We went to the (fire department) command post at Lake Skinner, from there, (they) directed us to the dogs at the kennel. The house had already burned down," Deford said. "Fire was just all around us."

The drive to the trailer was horrifying, Deford recalled. Trees on either side of Sage were aflame; sparks were everywhere. Night had already descended by then ---- all Deford could see was darkness pierced by the orange glow of dancing flames.

When Deford, along with Riverside County sheriff's deputies and members of a mounted posse, got there, they immediately began to load the dogs into a vehicle.

"I started grabbing as many as I could, 'til the propane tank (near the trailer) was on fire," she said, trying to keep her emotions under control. "We had to leave 15 or 20 behind."

She later found out that the dogs they left on the property survived, and were picked up by county animal control officers Monday afternoon.

Across Southwest County on Monday, animal shelters, high schools, horse ranches and even the Soboba Casino in San Jacinto prepared to take in animals displaced from the Mountain fire, which was still burning Monday evening near Lake Skinner.

The fire has burned through more than 10,000 acres, causing injuries to four firefighters and two residents.

At Animal Friends, the 41 puppies rescued were being bathed and cared for ---- the floor of the mobile home where they were staying reportedly was covered in urine and feces. Many of the dogs were in terrible condition with thick clumps of matted fur and various infections. Some were coughing from smoke inhalation, Deford said.

She had heard that a neighbor let the dogs out of the mobile home and put them in a kennel outside. By the time Deford and the others got there, the owners were nowhere in sight.

"The fire saved their lives," a volunteer at the shelter, Dixie Schleiger, said of the puppies.

Deford said pictures of the animals were taken, and that the case was under investigation. Willa Bagwell, a humane officer with the shelter who also helped rescue the dogs, said she's hoping Riverside County will file animal cruelty charges against the property owner.

People evacuated from at least 300 homes in the area east of Lake Skinner were sent to Temecula Valley High School at 31555 Rancho Vista Road. Several brought their pets with them. About 10 dogs and one cat were housed in cages in a pen behind the school's gym, said Ron Olson, director of the Animal Rescue Team of Riverside County.

Officials from Riverside County Animal Control told Olson they were bringing more pets to the site, Olson said. He said people who have missing pets should hold on to hope.

"A lot of times, animals sneak through fires," he said. "We've found them many miles from home."

When reporting a lost animal, owners should include a complete description of the pet, including coloring, or other distinguishing characteristics, he said.

Barbara Brown, toting her Pomeranian, Rambo, said she was staying at the high school because police officers had stopped her from driving to her house on Wayman Road near Hemet. She had been in Garden Grove visiting relatives over the weekend, and drove back home Monday morning when she was stopped on Mesa Road.

She said she was upset when officers turned her away because she needed to feed Rambo, and because she couldn't check her home to see if it had survived the blaze.

Ralph Rivers, disaster coordinator for county animal services, said the Soboba Casino, at 2333 Soboba Road in San Jacinto, was the evacuation site for any horses displaced in the Hemet or Temecula areas.

John Laughlin, rodeo events promoter at Soboba, said no horses had been brought to the casino by Monday afternoon. He had been prepared to take in the animals since about 10 p.m. Sunday night, and said the animals could be shipped to his facility at any time.

He said the DLR Ranch in Temecula and the Norco Rodeo Fairgrounds were also sheltering horses.

Jeff Sheppard, director of Ramona Animal Haven in San Jacinto, said the shelter was expecting a delivery of several horses and dogs also displaced from the fire sometime Monday from county animal services.

"If anybody needs held, we'll help," Sheppard said. "We'll do whatever we can."

My dad grew up on farms in Nebraska and Iowa, where he and his siblings performed the various tasks involved in maintaining a farm. One day his brother Bob had haystacking duty, and was pitchforking hay into the stacking mechanism. The mechanism involves a large blade which sweeps under the piles of hay and in an upward grabbing motion pulls them into where the stacks are created. My Uncle Bob stepped too close to the machine and the blade took all five toes and half his foot in a single chop.

I remember a story a while back about a kid who got both his arms ripped off by some farming machine. His quick-thinking mother had both the arms put on ice while her armless son stood in the bathtub to avoid bleeding everywhere. Miraculously, doctors were able to re-attach his arms.

That's when you're glad your mother is an obsessive, organizing control freak. "OK, I'll take these arms down to the kitchen and put them on ice right away. Now don't you move from that tub or there'll be blood all over my clean floors!"

[tippy]

My friend's uncle died when they were chopping trees and a tree fell right on his head. They held his head together in the back of a pickup truck as they zoomed to the hospital but he died on the way.

My dad worked on freight trains and he had gruesome personal stories. One of his friends he lost when a hitch went through his body. When my dad was a greenie they always made those guys deal with the train human collisions and my dad told me about his first time about this guy who had been hit but his body was intact on the tracks so he had to go and take his pulse and he took the guys risk and his head turned and the skin was gone from his face!!!

Ewwwwwwww. okay, I'll save some for tomorrow and the next day so stay tuned.

I also think this is gross:

Peru Celebrates Tasty Guinea Pigs

Peru's celebration of the guinea pig included contests for the biggest, the best-dressed - and the tastiest. The second annual festival of the cuy, as guinea pigs are known in the Andes, brought brass bands into the streets of highland Churin on Sunday to celebrate all things related to the furry rodents.

"Zero cholesterol! Protein for anemia!" Teresa Figeroa shouted from under her woven, flower-lined hat.

For 20 soles ($7), she sold plates of guinea pig fried, grilled, baked - even cuy au vin - with generous helpings of Andean potatoes and large Peruvian corn called choclo.

Foreigners may cringe at seeing the critters served for lunch, looking much like they did in life, face down on a bed of greens. But people came from across Peru to savor the meat and to compete in a cuy cookoff.

There was also a competition for the biggest guinea pig; the winner weighed in at almost 8 pounds of flesh, fat and fur. And some competed in a fashion show of traditional Andean dress, with guinea pigs decked out in fedoras and frilly skirts looking like Disney cartoons come to life.

But the food was the main event.

"This isn't common," said Nicolas Campos Sanchez, his lips shiny with grease as he ate a mouthful of barbecued guinea pig. "We're very proud of it."

My brother was a Mormon missionary in Peru. He had so little money that he was rarely able to have meat, but when he did have meat, guinea pig was usually what it was. He said it was a "treat."

This is a true meat-lover's delight. Watch the whole thing;

However, in 2004 the NYC Department of Health (which, in my view, has gone insane in recent years) raided an Ecuadorean festival in Flushing Meadows Park and stopped the sale of cuy - even though it is legal to sell under NY state law. It's been considered against health regulations to be served by restaurants and stands ever since, even though the Health Dept. has given no legal reason why. Needless to say, the local Ecuadorean and Peruvian communities are quite unhappy about this, although guinea pigs can still be purchased, semi-serruptitiously, in some of my local butcher shops.
