Apparently, It's Mishaps with Penises Day, Here, at The Truth*
A Nigerian murder suspect accused of killing his brother with an axe told police investigators he actually attacked a goat, which was only later magically transformed into his sibling's corpse, officials said Thursday. . . .
Murder suspects in Nigeria, where many people believe in black magic, sometimes claim spirits tricked them into killing. In 2001, eight people were burned to death after one person in their group was accused of making a bystander's penis magically disappear.
Upon investigation, it was determined that the bystander's penis did not disappear. It was just cold that day.

Not having a penis I can only speculate why the world is so obsessed with them.
Sure they make good pets, but all in all they're shameless attention whores (if you can stand the mixed metaphor).
leesee, those that have them can get obsessed. Most women just want to play with them for a while. Plus, you know as well as I do that not all of them make good pets.
Biff, thank you for finding the time to locate such hilarious news items, even though being a test monkey must keep you extremely busy.
When I'm wearing my test monkey helmet, all I have to do is crash the developers' software or find one show-stopping bug to earn a banana treat and a few minutes of Web surfing time.
I don't have to write software documentation until they give me the code in its final working form, with a description of what features are included and what it will and will not do. Then, I'm locked away in my cell until I have a working draft. That's the most time-consuming part of my job. (I'll be doing that all next week.)
The rest of the writing, the company's bi-weekly newsletter and so on, is minimal. Mostly, I have to edit.
But for the most part, I work on the Internets. Surfing is expected and encouraged. We have a lot of fun.
