Man, I feel like a woman, says ’she-man’

A BRITISH man is begging medical experts for help after he started turning into a woman.

Pub singer Terry Wright, 60, said children in his Birmingham neighbourhood had started taunting him with shouts of “she-man” after he started losing his beard and hair and began developing breasts and smooth skin about 10 years ago, The Sun newspaper reported.

“I am a man, not a woman. And I do not want to be a woman. I just want to get my life back to normal,” Mr Wright told the paper.

Blood tests showed the father of five had abnormally high levels of the female hormone estrogen but his doctors said they had never seen such a case and did not know how to treat him.

“Doctors call me an ‘interesting case’ and ‘unique’ but I just want to go back to being a proper man,” Mr Wright said.

“I get mocked by kids where I live who call me she-man and other names. Once a child bumped into me and its mother said, ‘Say sorry to the lady.’ My mates are shocked at my appearance but try to make light of it by saying I’m just a pretty-looking man.”

Specialist Professor Richard Ross said: “This case seems very unusual.”

He said business is down about 19 percent at his two northern Nevada brothels along I-80: Donna’s Ranch in Wells and Donna’s Battle Mountain Ranch.

Weird Burglary


Snaphappy Fishsuit Mokiligon denied right to change name

Dude changes name from Snaphappy Fishsuit Mokiligon to Variable to Fuck Censorship! Well almost as the New Mexico appeals court ruled against the last name change.

The man appealed after a state district judge in Bernalillo County refused his request to change his name to “Fuck Censorship!”

Judge Nan Nash ruled that the proposed name change was “obscene, offensive and would not comport with common decency”.

The man - whose current legal name is Variable - argued on appeal that it was improper government censorship to deny him the name change.

Deven Traboscia Sells Love and Home On eBay Photo & Video

Deven Traboscia, 42, of West Palm Beach is a single parent and has been divorced for eight years.

Traboscia had really hoped to be remarried by now, so to keep her wedding dream alive, she is auctioning offering herself and her home as a wife to the highest bidder on the Internet.”I find myself being alone and wondering what I’m going to do with my life,” Traboscia told NBC6. “I’m ready now. I’m ready to get married.”

Video is here. Additional Photos here.

Tired of struggling all by her lonesome, the divorced real estate agent came up with the idea. She is auctioning her home in Palm Beach Gardens in South Florida, along with herself in a package deal on Craigslist.

The home is currently being advertised as a single-family home that has four bedrooms, two and half baths, totaling two-thousand square feet.

Traboscia is advertising herself as being in search of her “Prince Charming,” reports CBS4.

She says a match with a European man would be the best of both worlds — summers in Europe and winters in sunny South Florida.

Her eBay auction ends July 2. The bidding on eBay starts at 99 cents with a shipping cost of $500,000.

Drunk Trio Wonders Into Storm Drain: Skull Fractured Coming Out Of Manhole

Manhole coverA Sacramento man is in critical condition and his brother and girlfriend have been arrested after the trio went cavorting in a storm drain and had to be rescued early Tuesday.

A 26-year-old man, his 19-year-old girlfriend Rhea Schroeder and his 24-year-old brother Jacob Reinitz, who live in the North Sacramento area, had been drinking and decided at about 1:30 a.m. to climb into a storm drain in the Florin Road area, said Sacramento Police Lt. Mike Bray.

“Apparently they had done this as kids and wanted to relive their youthful experiences and try it again,” he said.

Police did not release the name of the injured man.

Bray said the threesome crawled into the large drain through a manhole on the east side of the railroad tracks, near Luther Burbank High School.

After walking about 200 yards in the drain, they decided to come up. But when the older brother climbed atop Reinitz and attempted to lift the manhole cover – which was located in the middle of the street – a passing car struck him, Bray said.

“His head was either pinched with the manhole cover against the side of the road, or the tire struck him,” Bray said. “We’re not completely certain about the sequence of events.”

The man fell back into the hole.

Police were called to the scene by the motorist, who had a flat tire.

Fire crews were then called out to help extricate the trio. Firefighters had to use heavy equipment to get the three out of the drain.

“Kind of like pulling a kid out of a well,” Bray said.

The 26-year-old, whose name was not released, suffered a skull fracture and was taken to UC Davis Medical Center, where he was in critical condition.

Reinitz and Schroeder were arrested on suspicion of being drunk in public and are being held in Sacramento County jail.

Soldier spots 13 UFOs above barrack

Corporal Mark Proctor was one of three soldiers who saw the objects above his military barracks.

He filmed the sighting, at Tern Hill barracks near Market Drayton, Shropshire, on his mobile phone and reported the sighting to Army officials.

Cpl Proctor, 38, of the 1st Battalion Irish Regiment, saw the “craft” which he described as “rotating cubes” in the sky, just after 11pm on Saturday, June 7.

MoD experts are reportedly studying his report after ordering Mark and his pals not to say anything else about the incident.

The sighting, at Tern Hill barracks near Market Drayton, came two hours before helicopter police officers reported an encounter with a huge craft 80 miles away near Cardiff.

Cpl Proctor, 38, of the 1st Battalion Irish Regiment, recalled how he saw the UFOs just after 11pm on Saturday, June 7.

He said: “I was on duty in the guard room when the other boys outside began shouting. I went out to see what the commotion was about and could see thirteen craft in the skies.

“They were zig-zagging, but I filmed two before they disappeared. They were like rotating cubes with multiple colours.

“I made a full report to my commanding officers and gave them my footage. The other lads were as amazed by it as I was.”

An MoD spokesman said: “We deal with any UFO sightings to see if there was a military threat.”

CNN has the video of a ufo in Cardif  Wales, UK http://edition.cnn.com/video/#/video/bestoftv/2008/06/24/ac.360.shot.mxf.cnn

The Sun is not the most reliable of sources but the reports seem to have things in common: the cubes and fact that UFO seem to show up near military bases quite a few times. Maybe they are noticed  because more people are paying attention. Who knows, but the fact that MoD is dealing with the sightings proves fact that the government is taking matters seriously.
