An 88-year-old Frenchman is recovering slowly but surely after having an 8-inch long, 2-inch wide World War 1 explosive removed from his rectum. The surgery was a success, but we'd like to point out that somehow this isn't even the craziest part of the story.


After the man turned up at Hospital Sainte Musse in Toulon, staff on hand had to take extra precaution. On the night of the patient's arrival, bomb disposal personnel were called in. A full evacuation of the emergency room area was also performed. The bomb squad then gave word that there was "little possibility" of the device actually exploding inside of the man.



A hospital spokesperson stated, "When in doubt, we took all precautions." Hey, better safe than sorry. With his explosive a**hole under control, doctors still had to perform surgery on the kinky man to remove the massive shell.



Good lord. That thing was inside of someone's anus. I don't use this word lightly, but I am flabbergasted. How is this man still alive? And at 88 years of age? Life is too fragile. Find a new kink. No need to get the bomb squad involved every time you want to get off.

If Mispronouncing 'Gnocchi' is a Dating 'Red Flag' Then We'll Stay Single Forever

In the rapid world of modern dating, people are making decisions faster, and off of less information than they ever have before.

man can't pronounce gnocchi


In the rapid world of modern dating, people are making decisions faster, and with less information than they ever have before. "Red flags" and "icks" can be a one-and-done offense, and the smallest mistake can be a dealbreaker. 


It would seem that not being able to pronounce the Italian pasta 'gnocchi' is a new red flag for some women, and men who can say it correctly have a huge leg up.

After seeing the trend, some girlfriends decided to put their boyfriends to the test. The results are not encouraging.

While being a cultured person is definitely an attractive quality when it comes to dating, the pronunciation of one singular pasta type certainly doesn't seem like a comprehensive litmus test. We're quite sure that plenty of women can't pronounce gnocchi either, not to mention the plethora of other foreign words that Americans have never attempted to say correctly. 


Pistachio nuts are technically pronounced with a 'K' sound where the 'ch' is, and the 'E' is not actually silent at the end of calzone. And for the love of God, the 'G' is silent in Famiglia Pizza, (and my own last name). 


Here is a gnocchi pronunciation guide for all who need it, and let's all stop making relationship decisions based off of trivial internet trends.
