California man sues veterans' hospital for removing wrong testicle


This man has a case.
Went to have cancer removed,

Now he has no balls.


Every mans worst nightmare is having his testicles removed, whether it's a subconscious fear of never being able to procreate again, or simply the fear of inevitable pain. Or it could be the intimate relationship men develope with their testicles over the years as they protect them from harm and pain.

Whichever the case, one man had to do without one of his testicles due to a growing cancer, hey, at least you still have another one right?? WRONG. Because little did he know, the doctors chopped off the wrong ball!! The man claims he thought it was a joke at first, I mean, that doesn't actually HAPPEN in real life right?! Well, my friends, apparently it does. Not only was his good ball cut out, but he is still walking around with a cancerous one for the time being. Poor fella.

This man may receive upwards of $200,000 in damages however, so the question is... How much are your balls worth?

Hockey fans want fighting to remain in the game


Hockey fans are mad
League considers banning fights
Let's fight over it!!


For many, fighting is part of the game, injuries are part of the game. But with the recent rise in hockey injuries, especially concussions, the league is getting a tad nervous. Especially since the bad PR keeps piling up, the only way the NHL appears to get onto the US ESPN is when something bad happens.

The big brawl between Buffalo and Ottawa a while back actually sparked interest, that was a great fight, and that's the kind of thing that hockey fans love. I don't feel the game can be nearly as entertaining without fights spawned out of passion and emotion within the game. But with recent happenings like Jordin Tootoo and his gloved sucker punch on Atlanta's defenceman Stephane Robidas, who left the ice on a stretcher, it's getting harder and harder to make a solid case for fighting.

This is the kind of thing that makes the men in charge a little hot under the collar, but really, would banning fighting take this kind of thing out of the game? Probably not... It's hard to contain emotion in hockey, especially since aggression has been not only allowed, but an integral part of the game. Tonight I am going to watch the Leafs take on the Islanders, fighting for a final playoff spot. And I'm not going to lie, I hope I see a good old fashioned hockey scrap.
