Emergency crew rescues sex doll after mistaking it for drowning woman

A team of emergency rescue divers was flummoxed after responding to the scene of a nude "drowning woman" — only to discover that it was actually a floating life-size sex doll.

The uproarious gaffe was chronicled on Twitter by YouTuber Natsuki Tanaka, who had initially believed she was witnessing a real-life rescue in the city of Hachinohe off Japan’s northeast coast, Kotaku reported.

"While filming a fishing video, I thought a dead body floating in the water had washed up, but it was a blow-up doll," Tanaka wrote about the strange scene, which occurred last week.

Apart from Wilt, I don't think I've read anything else of his. The film was a pretty good adaptation.
 
The Argentine government has started a tendering process for 10,000 penises made out of polished wood (their words, not mine) to be used in sexual eduation classes.
Specifications:
Height: 170 mm, diameter in the cylinder: 40 mm., diameter at the base: 50 mm.
Wood to be used: possibly Australian grevillea or white cedar.​

I don't have an article in English yet, but I do have one from the local press.
 
Poor ladies.

Argentine should go bananas instead.
 
We used cucumbers in school, for what was probably the single lesson we ever used them.

Use cedar. You'll get our collective wood when you can pry it from our cold, dead hands! :cringe:
 
There was a funeral for a guy in Ireland who had some criminal convictions, and some of the ways he was remembered are:
  • Behind the altar was a professionally printed banner that said, “You know the score, get on the floor, don’t be funny, show me the money.”
  • Offering left include a torch and a screwdriver
  • One family member received a round of applause after she said: 'Sorry for the language father. Rest in peace you f***ing legend'.
  • A friend said: 'I could write a book of the memories we have together, the good and the bad. But I won't mention them because you can't get flipped but I can. You know the score brother.'
  • 'If [Mr Maguire's brother] Paddy had an argument with someone you would say, "Paddy show me where they live and I will go up and blow them off the map."'

Australia’s cockatoos are masters of dumpster diving—and now they’re learning from each other

In recent years, some cockatoos living in the Sydney suburbs have figured out how to open household garbage cans, unlocking a food bonanza of sandwiches, fish bones, and fruit. Other cockatoos have picked up on the trick, and the behavior is quickly spreading. What’s more, birds in different locations use slightly different methods to open the cans, making this the first time a parrot has been found with local foraging “subcultures,” say the authors of the new paper.

Interesting :lol:.
 
We see up to 2,000 of them fly over Adelaide in "squadrons" of about 10-50.
I think they will provide air support in the next Emu War.

About 15 years ago, flocks of hundreds of thousands decimated wheat crops along the Victoria /
South Australia border. They were deemed a pest in Victoria and could be shot. They are a protected
species in S.A., so the birds would "raid" the Victorian crops during the day, and then cross back into
S.A. to roost for the night.
 
Who wants to buy a 40 years old piece of cake?

40-year-old slice of Charles and Diana’s wedding cake set for auction

The large slice of cake icing and marzipan base from one of the 23 official wedding cakes features a sugared onlay of the Royal coat-of-arms coloured in gold, red, blue, and silver.

Chris Albury, auctioneer and senior valuer at Dominic Winter Auctioneers in Cirencester, Gloucestershire, said: “It appears to be in exactly the same good condition as when originally sold, but we advise against eating it.”

It is expected to fetch between £300 and £500 when it goes under the hammer along with an order of service, ceremonial details and a royal wedding breakfast programme.
 
Body shop, which likes to give the impression of being "woke" (anti-animal testing for example) has produced a collection of stories to empower women. They were all written by men, including one who is accused of sexual harassment. Admittedly this is it Georgian wing:

Outrage over the publication lit up Georgian social media after The Body Shop presented its book ‘Love Yourself’ – a series of 13 short stories about women’s experiences, all written by seven well-known male authors – at the city hall in the capital Tbilisi, on Monday.
The Body Shop Georgia initially responded by defending the book, stating that its stories “were written by men to imagine themselves in the place of these brave women”, and that “more women writers” would be involved in future releases.

Then they realised it may have been a bad idea, saying it regrets “that one of the ideas of the project, for men to write these stories, did not turn out to be the right way to convey our message”.

One of the stories’ authors, Toresa Mossy, wrote on Facebook that he was qualified to write about women’s experiences as “it's a familiar topic to me when you're being bullied because you're too skinny for a man, too weak”.

But criticism of The Body Shop’s book intensified online after two women publicly alleged – in interviews with Georgian newsrooms On.ge and Netgazeti – that they had been sexually harassed by another of the authors, Giorgi Kekelidze.
One of these women, Tao Chalidze, accused Kekelidze of “stalking” her “vigorously” for more than two years. She said she blocked him on social media and on her phone, but he would show up at her workplace unannounced.
“He would continuously try to pressure me into having sex with him, even though I told him I wasn’t interested,” Chalidze told On.ge. “I was so disgusted by his actions, that even today my body shivers just remembering him.”
Another woman, Sofia Kenchiashvili, told On.ge that for years Kekelidze had demanded she send him “erotic photos”, including when she was pregnant. “He would continuously ask me on Messenger how I was, and I knew the second question would be ‘Where is the photo?’ It went on for years,” she said.​
 
And why are they measuring in pounds and not something sensible like tons?
