Daily Darwin – On Their Way to the Testicle Festival

Darwin hilariously reports that this tasty morsel (or genome) from 9News Colorado about a  “CO man accused of removing a transgender woman’s testicles” says it all.  As a matter of fact, Darwin thinks it might be way too much information.

Police say a man faces felony assault charges after he used an Army surgical kit to remove the testicles of a transgender woman.

Records say during that interview, Pennington told investigators he agreed to perform the medical procedure at the victim’s apartment in Denver.

Eeewww!!

Detectives say the surgical kit contained a scalpel, lidocaine, medical dressings, and other medical equipment.

Records state Pennington “used the scalpel and surgically disconnected and removed the victim’s 2 testicles and then sutured the opening back up.”  The victim’s wife was with her during what was described…as a 90-minute-long procedure.

Because “the testicles could not be re-attached due to time delay of a procedure to 911 call” we arrive at the second part of the story. The couple headed off to Montana’s Famous “Testicle Festival”.  Even though the Festival turned out not to be BYO testicles, there were still many festivities to enjoy.

Natural selection deems that some individuals serve as a warning to others. Who are we to disagree? The next generation, ever and anon, is descended from the survivors

‘FakeNews’ Time Magazine Steals Mad Magazine’s Cover

It’s pretty bad when #FakeNews Time Magazine has to steal a #ReallyFakeNews cover idea from Mad Magazine.  From SF Gate we learn, “Mad magazine says Time ripped off cover idea“.  But not to worry….

Mad magazine says Time magazine stole the material for its newest cover, which shows the White House sprouting bulbous towers in Moscow, from Mad.

And indeed, Mad’s Dec. 12, 2016, cover headlined “Putin’s Influence Over Trump Continues to Grow” is strikingly similar to Time’s May 29 mashup of the White House and Red Square’s iconic St. Basil’s Cathedral.

The humor publication skewered Time with apparent glee.

“Honestly, we’re flattered, but we would have appreciated a credit — something like, ‘Idea stolen from MAD, which in 1952 we called a short lived satirical pulp!’ the humor publication said in an online post Thursday that displayed the cover images side by side.

Putin Says, “You Want a Transcript, Well I Got One.”

The New York Times headlines this likely story, “Putin Offers to Provide a ‘Record’ of Trump’s Disclosures to Russian Envoys“.

Asserting himself abroad with his customary disruptive panache, President Vladimir V. Putin on Wednesday jumped into the furor over President Trump’s disclosure of classified information to Russian diplomats, declaring that nothing secret had been revealed and that he could prove it.

Mr. Putin, who has a long record of seizing on foreign crises to make Russia’s voice heard, announced during a news conference in Sochi, Russia …. that he has a “record” of the American president’s meeting at the White House with two senior Russian officials and was ready to give it to Congress — so long as Mr. Trump does not object.
