Asylum Heterodoxica

An otherwise 'loving family pet' was shot dead by police after the tabby cat went berserk and terrorized a city family late last week... Ears flat back, hair standing on end and eyes bulging, Mickey lunged across the dining room and attacked her daughter, biting through her jeans and slicing into her leg. When the cat released its grip, it continued coming at the girl, shrieking and hissing... While it ran wildly around the interior of the brick bungalow, the cat continued shrieking and began defecating throughout the home... The officer shot the cat square in the chest with his Beretta .40-calibre handgun. 'Even after he shot it, that cat was so hopped up - we're talking about a little, eight-pound cat - Mickey ran down the hall into the bathroom and jumped into the tub,' the husband recollected. 'He didn't die for at least five minutes.'

Another unbelievably true story:

LONDON (Reuters) - A Welsh rugby fan cut off his own testicles to celebrate Wales beating England at rugby, the Daily Mirror reported Tuesday. Geoff Huish, 26, was so convinced England would win Saturday's match he told fellow drinkers at a social club, "If Wales win I'll cut my balls off," the paper said. Friends at the club in Caerphilly, south Wales, thought he was joking. But after the game Huish went home, severed his testicles with a knife, and walked 200 yards back to the bar with the testicles to show the shocked drinkers what he had done. Huish was taken to hospital where he remained in serious condition, the paper said. Wales's 11-9 victory over England at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff was their first home win over England in 12 years.
