Tales of the great penis snatching of 2008 may be a bit exaggerated… or not. This may actually be a brilliant way to explain the small pecker to your girl…

“See honey, it used to be 12″, but that mutha up the street snatched 8″ from me.”

When in West , watch out for those crazed you know what snatchers and keep a really close eye on the family jewels. Yep, 13 people have been arrested in Africa for stealing and/or shrinking penises that they wanted for themselves or maybe were envious of, talk about penis envy!

How did they do this… well, don’t ya know… Witchcraft!

The sorceres / witchdoctors would need a hardcore spell to shrink this bad boy.

This is some twisted shit for sure, Seems centuries later people are still getting arrested for witchcraft. And yes, the suspects were also in that old Chicago gangland method called “protection”.

KINSHASA (Reuters) - Police in Congo have arrested 13 suspected sorcerers accused of using black magic to steal or shrink men’s penises after a wave of panic and attempted triggered by the alleged witchcraft.

One day in the lynch happy south they ran out of negros to hang… hmmm, so what do the fools do to entertain the masses? They lynch the African elephant… I mean they are from Africa, right?

At first glance this does look like a joke of somekind.. you really gotta look at the image and say WTF! This is the biggest lynching in history for sure.

But it is real, this is the lynching of an elephant named Mary.

The year is 1916 and vigilante justice is the rage, whether its a negro or an elephant at the end of the noose does not seem to matter, townspeople come out in mobs, a family affair, to see the spectacle of a good lynching to satisfy the bloodlust.

War was raging and… It was a good year for scapegoats. It was a good year to hang an elephant.

I do say lynching because lynching is the execution without trial carried out by an angry mob… and yes, there was a town angry at Mary.

A circus came to town along with the elephants, clown and trained seals. Mary the elephant was billed as the largest elephant around with the promoters hyping her up as have killed a dozen people for the show.

Here is part of the elephant lynching story and the event that led to such a sick act.

Mary was billed as “the largest living land animal on earth”; her owner claimed she was three inches bigger than Jumbo, P.T. Barnum’s famous pachyderm. At 30 years old, Mary was five tons of pure talent: she could “play 25 tunes on the musical horns without missing a note”; the pitcher on the circus baseball-game routine, her .400 batting average “astonished millions in New York.”

Rumor and exaggeration swarmed about Mary like flies. She was worth a small fortune: $20,000, Charlie Sparks claimed. She was dangerous, having killed two men, or was it eight, or 18?

She was Charlie Sparks’ favorite, his cash cow, his claim to circus fame. She was the leader of his small band of elephants, an exotic crowd-pleaser, an unpredictable giant.

On Monday, September 11, 1916, Sparks World Famous Shows played St. Paul, Va., a tiny mining town in the Clinch River Valley.

Which is where drifter Red Eldridge made a fatal decision. Slight and flame-haired, Red had nothing to lose by signing up with Sparks World Famous Shows: he’d dropped into St. Paul from a Norfolk and Western boxcar and decided to stay for a while.

Eldridge was hired as an elephant handler and marched in the circus parade that afternoon. From statements from that time, it seems that Eldridge may not have had the experience or smarts to handle such large animals. Yep, he may not have realized a 5 ton animal can kill you with a step.

The story of what happened has many versions, the witness story seemed to keep changing. There were 5 versions of how the man was killed from being accidental to a fit of rage. Anyway… the town wanted justice and since mob justice and lynchings were all the rage in the early 1900’s… an public elephant execution was demanded.

They tried to shoot Mary, but that had little effect. They tried electrocution but that did not kill her either. So they wanted the tried and true method of hanging. Mary was hung from a railroad crane that at first try broke, sent her crashing to the ground breaking her hip.

The following is way sick for society, even turn of the last century, and families with children but… more than 2,500 people gathered to watch Mary swing near the turn-table and powerhouse on that drizzly afternoon.

One of those witnesses, Myrtle Taylor, remembered that every child in Erwin was at the Clinchfield Yards. “And they took the other elephants and Mary down Love Street from the performance to the railyards, trunk to tail. We kids hung back because we were scared to death, but still we wanted to see it.”

Wade Ambrose, who was 20 at the time Mary was hung, recalls that the roustabouts chained Mary’s leg to the rail, then drove her companions back around the roundhouse.

“They had a time getting the chain around her neck. Then they hooked the boom to the neck chain, and when they began to lift her up, I heard the bones and ligaments cracking in her foot. They finally discovered that she’d not been released from the rail, so they did that.”

Poor Mary, being of African heritage may have gotten her tortured and lynched without a trial as well.

This picture caused the world to take notice and may have helped to drive the photographer to suicide, however the sickness is all this bogles my mind, and not for the reasons you may think.

This is a very famous pulitzer prize picture take in 1994 during the Sudan Famine.
The picture depicts stricken child crawling towards a United Nations food camp, located a kilometer away.

The vulture is waiting for the child to die so that it can eat him. This picture shocked the whole world. No one knows what happened to the child, including the photographer Kevin Carter who left the place as soon as the photograph was take. He is known to have never helped the crawling girl, but did try to get the vulture to leave.

Three months later he committed suicide due to depression.

Anyway my 2 cents here….

There are still regions like that, I feel for the childeren, I have one of my own and could not imagine him looking like that, but I also must add that as a parant, I would do everything I could to feed the kid and yes get creative about it.

If I had to go out and dig up every earthworm in a mile radius to get the protien out of them, I would.  The point is that every region of the planet has its own environment and you either learn to work it for food or move. People living on ice bergs learned to  drill holes to fish through it, people living in sand deserts have made scorpions a menu item, people in areas with green vegetation have learned to harvest certain plants to make teas. Most regions around the planet have adapted to thier climate over many, many generations… what happened here?

I understand there is drought, but they still get more water than many sand deserts, enough to cause floods many years. The vegetation is green in many areas there meaning that crops may be grown. I live in a drought area with maybe less rainfall than they get and I have had my backyard gardens, planted in the desert sand, and there are food plants that are still there that I have not watered in years and can’t even get rid of because they grow back after being pulled, some of them are worse than weeds… so why do these kids need to starve?

The reason is simple, it is easier to throw some money at them, collect 1 buck a day from TV viewers and send them rice, than it is to teach them how to cultivate crops and create thier own food. I think its that simple. This is a region of people who really do not have the skills nor knowledge to fend for themselves and that may be due to the centuries of interference by European colonies and now by others… It seems no one is doing them any favors by giving out food once a week or whatever it may be.

Here is a quote I also found about the way that the aid money is spent….”if you’re going to give aid then it has to be appropriate. there’s a leader in north west africa who built a motorway for his people with the money from aid. its okay, except there are no cars. one hospital recieved 10 state-of-the-art incubators to help decrease the IMR (Infant Mortality Rate). they’re now gathering dust becasue the hospital doesn’t have enough electricity to power them! so while all this talk about giving them technology is good, it has to be APPROPRIATE”

He may be right, stop giving those fools… sorry “leaders” money. Do not give handouts (other than birth control), Put the money towards more education on basic living skills, investing in irrigation, water storage,  and getting that region to the level that most indians were 1000’s of years ago. ( I am sure I am not the first with that brainstorm… but seems it has not been totally effective since kids still starve)

Those pictures sicken us! Maybe the best thing to do is stop taking pictures of things we know about and can not control, stop giving aid to the leaders (that they do not seem to spend well) and allow them to catch up to the rest of the planet on thier own…. This may seem cruel, but “natural selection” is the way species survive and they adapt or die out, modern TV and media may be halting or expediting the process (not sure which). The birds and animals in the region are doing fine, since when do animals know more than the human population?

Why does the vulture in that look so healthy? how the hell can a vulture be more industrious and able to find his own food when a species a zillion times smarter can not? Eat the vultures for GOD’s sake, we already know that mofo will eat you! In most  places, humans hunt the animals… not vice versa. There is so something wrong with that picture!
