This story went viral so fast, I was wondering what happened…
Awww, I’m just glad it all turned out well for them both.
Net News
It’s been confirmed: a 22-year-old woman has been discovered to have a third nipple at the bottom of her foot. The medical staff that discovered this medical records first said in a statement:
“A 22-year-old woman sought medical care for a lesion in the plantar region of her left foot, a well-formed nipple surrounded by areola and hair. Microscopic examination of the dermis showed hair follicles, eccrine glands, and sebaceous glands.
Fat tissue was noted at the base of the lesion. Clinical and histopathologic findings were consistent with the diagnosis of supernumerary breast tissue, also known as pseudomamma.
To our knowledge, this is the first report of supernumerary breast tissue on the foot. Supernumerary breast tissue, known as SBT, is rarely found beyond the mammary line. But they have been seen before on the back, shoulder, face, and even thigh.”
It was a toss up between “Susole” and “Talampakanipple”. But a last minute nickname took home the prize: “Footong”.
Given that I just had my dog Siam neutered yesterday (he’s fine by the way), I suddenly remembered the recent “study” that supposedly shows the average penis size per country. The “research” shows that the countries with the largest penises are, from the largest: Congo (7.1 inches), Ecuador (6.9 inches), Ghana (6.7 inches), Colombia (6.7 inches) and Venezuela (6.7 inches). On the other side of the spectrum, are the countries with the tiniest penises, with North and South Korea taking home smallest honors with an average penis size of (3.9 inches). Also bringing up the rear are Cambodia, Thailand, India, and Burma. For the curious, The Philippines logged in a 4.2-inch average, while the Americans surprisingly came out a not-so-impressive 5.1-inch average. Of course it goes without saying that these measurements reflect the penises in their tumescent stage.
As far as races are concerned, the African and Latin American countries ended up as the largest, with the Asians coming in last, and the Europeans and North Americans in the middle.
I put quotation marks on the words “study” and “research” because the provenance of the dubious study has been traced to a company selling penis extenders. So this I guess casts a large shadow of doubt on how kosher this global penis chart is. And the study shows that some of the data are “self-reported”, meaning, the respondents were not actually measured, but that they only claimed that their wieners were actually that long. This is a bit disturbing given that most men tend to exaggerate just how well-endowed they are. They should’ve asked the wives or girlfriends instead for a more accurate measurement. That said, I find it funny that even with some exaggerated figures, some countries still fell short. So does that mean that some of the reported 3.9-inch averages are actually even smaller? Egad!
I bet that title caught your attention, didn’t it? It caught mine. I think it would make a rockin’ Harry Potter book title. Oddly I came across these 2 tidbits one ofter the other. So I thought an item on boobies and another on wieners would go well together. Let’s start with the boobies:
Chinese Cleavage Clamp
That’s got to be the best infomercial, EVER. For me, the best part of the commercial for me was that squooshy sound effect every time they tighten the boob squasher, squishing the melons together. I totally LURVE that laser squoosh! I titter (pun intended) like a little girl each time!

A Brazilian gardener discovered that one passion fruit vine started producing penis shaped fruits. Passion fruits are supposed to be round, so this was quite bizarre. So many visitors started coming over to see the fruits and started taking pictures and videos that she started charging money. I just find it so apropos that of all the fruits that could turn out penis-shaped, it would be the “passion” fruit. Strange fruit indeed!
An interesting study programmed the faces of men from 46 nationalities and averaged their faces to form a composite face that represents the male half of the world’s population. So roughly, if you mashed the faces of all the males in this world into just one face, it would roughly look like this:
Weird, right? If he looks more Asian than any other nationality, I’m guessing maybe because there are more Asians than any other nationality?
And the average Filipino male looks like this:
And the average Filipina:
Well, what do you think? Do these faces look anything like you?
A Pinoy has been dubbed the “Filipino Ejaculator” after he has been accused by a female co-worker of ejaculating into her water bottle. She felt sick after drinking into her water bottle, so she got suspicious and had the water tested at a lab which yielded the result that the water has been laced with human semen. The alleged “depositor” was eventually fired from their office and is now facing six misdemeanor charges which include depositing offensive substances and assault. He has denied all accusations. Read the full article courtesy of http://www.balitangamerica.tv HERE.
Of course the key word here is, and no it’s not “ejaculator”, it’s “alleged”. We don’t know the whole story. The guy in question, Michael Kevin Lallana, is a married man, and we can only speculate why, if proven guilty, he would do such a dastardly act. Some say it’s just a simple case of the usual dipping the toothbrush in the toilet or pissing in the coffee dispenser (not that these are any better or more hygienic), but this could have dire consequences. Many sexually transmitted diseases, many of which are incurable, and a handful fatal, are passed on through exchanges of bodily fluids. Even if he’s perfectly healthy, it’s already gross, but imagine if he had any infection of any sort. I don’t even want to think about it. But of course, we go back to waiting until he guy is proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt. Proving that there is sperm in the water bottle is one thing, but proving that the sperm is Lallana’s is another. I don’t know if there is a way of matching the sperm found in the water with fresh samples from Lallana, because that’s the only way I can think of proving it with finality. Does sperm even survive in water?
Many Filipinos were commenting on how unfair it was to call Lallana “Filipino” when he is an American citizen. Some claim he should have been more accurately identified as “Filipino-American”, as if to halve the blame with his adopted nation. But others point out that we are quick to claim celebs like Nicole Scherzinger and Enrique Iglesias as “Half-Filipino”, yet refer to notorious Pinoys as “Half-American”. They claim we should take the bad as graciously as the good.
Was he a spurned sperm donor? Were they having an illicit affair? How did he do his dastardly deed? Was he really the jerk who jerked off in her water bottle? Was the banker the wanker? Many questions have been left unanswered. It’s a mortifying crime to be accused of. If he’s guilty, then he should own the ignominy that from hereon shall hound his character. But if he’s innocent, then I pray he’s cleared soon because this type of accusation smears not only his name, but his family’s as well.
Last December 17, I posted this video about the Little Mermaid or the Mermaid Girl, Shiloh Pepin:
She captured the hearts of many who followed her condition on TV and the internet:
Unfortunately, she died fighting a serious case of pneumonia on October 23, 2009 at the young age of 10. Nobody expected her to last even half as long, but her death reverberated in the hearts of the many who followed her story. I guess what made her different was the joy with which she faced life, despite the cruel hand fate dealt her. She didn’t act like someone who was born deformed, whose life was in constant peril, every single day of her life. She chose to live life as if she were the luckiest girl in the world. We could learn a thing or two from her. I hear many people, myself included, whine about worries that pale in comparison to what this young girl suffered. Sometimes it really is all about perspective. There’s no such thing as a great life or a horrible life; it’s just how we choose to live it. I really wish I could find a copy of the documentaries that aired on TLC.
This just hit the news blogs yesterday. This is shocking footage of a baby actually surviving miraculously after a train runs over his pram (stroller to us Pinoys). It’s every mother’s nightmare to watch her baby rolling off the platform and onto the direct path of a speeding train! The only word to describe the baby surviving is miraculous. A couple of inches less or further and the baby would be on the path of the train’s wheels instead of under it. I had chills watching the footage. Couldn’t underscore enough how a couple of seconds could spell the difference between a regular day and an absolute tragic one. The same applies to driving, crossing the street, etc. So be extra careful, especially if you frequent the LRT or MRT. I don’t know if there have been accidents in our own railway stations, I hope not.
I’ve seen many shocking things on the internet, but this one is a hard one for me to recover from. Unbelievable.
I guess it pinched my sense of injustice a little too much. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a big believer in rules and the law. Even when I don’t agree with the law, I support the process of everyone agreeing to follow what the majority has decided on. For instance, even if you didn’t vote for the presidential candidate who won, you still have to abide and recognize him once the majority has spoken. Otherwise, if we all went by our own rules, anarchy ensues. So ask anyone who knows me, and they’ll agree that I’m a stickler for rules. So I agree with the policeman when he flagged down the car which rolled through a red light. But once he turned INTO the hospital parking lot, AND explained the predicament, was it too much too ask to at least verify first if the driver was telling the truth? And if need be, give him the ticket AFTER he says goodbye to his dying mother-in-law! I’m not saying suspend the enforcement of traffic rules to every joe who claims to be rushing to an emergency, but when it is verifiable, already being in the HOSPITAL PARKING LOT, I think a little humanity dictates the lowering of hubris and applying a little bit of compassion. True, it is a judgment call, and different people will have different views on the matter, but I personally, am appalled by this display of lack of kindness. He could have followed them to the room just to check if they were telling the truth. Sorry, it just touched a nerve. Hours after, I was still bristling at the thought. Sometimes we need to understand the spirit of the law, and not just the letter of the law. Call me naive, but I believe that law enforcement and human compassion CAN co-exist.
JUST STAND UP!
This is the mega-watt joining of hands of the biggest female names in pop music today. It features Mariah Carey, Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, Carrie Underwood, Fergie, Leona Lewis, among others. It’s all for a charitable cause: The “Stand Up To Cancer” benefit. This is a cause that’s very close to my heart, as our family had a close brush with this insidious disease. The whole benefit earned more than $100 million for cancer research. A damn worthy cause.
THE NEW IPOD NANO!
I want one!!! Oh lordy, I’m such a sucker for ipods of all shapes and sizes. So far, I’ve had a 30GB Ipod photo, then a 30GB Ipod video. This latest version is called the Ipod Nano-Chromatic. It comes in 9 colors and in 8GB and 16GB. Its new features include — it acts like a DJ: it can create playlists by finding songs in your library that sound good together, if you give it a shake it’ll shuffle your music, and if you turn it sideways you get the cover flow, much like the itouch.
INAPPROPRIATE SLIDE!
You won’t believe this video! I can’t believe that no one noticed just how inappropriate this inflatable slide is for a children’s playground! I couldn’t help from laughing myself silly, especially with that hilarious version of “Bohemian Rhapsody” in the background.
