- Snippets from "The New Paper On Sunday", June 16 2002 (Page 43)
Just
some interesting snippets that I thought might be worth a read...
An impotent Thai man was so traumatised
by his condition that he chopped off his penis in public.
Mr Jaruwat Techawachayanun, 49, had asked
his doctor to amputate the offending organ but the latter refused.
The Thai Daily News quoted eyewitness Tongdee
Kongsombat: "I saw a man pull up outside my house in a pick-up... he had
a towel wrapped around his waist and a meat cleaver in his hand.
"He walked down a side street, sat
down, rested his penis on a large stone and with three chops, severed it completely."
The witness retrieved it from the bin and
called the police, who found Mr Techawachayanun bleeding heavily in his truck.

A Dutch website is offering women sex lessons
for 1.5 Euros ($2.50) per lesson.
The course was started after a survey revealed women wanted more information
about sexual techniques.
Each course visit online lasts four hours.
Editor Roos Roodnat explained the appeal: "The courses are very friendly
to women, (both for) starters and experienced women,, and every item is explained
with pictures and text. Customers are well informed about all possible techniques..."
Roodnat claimed the lessons were already proving a great success. Courses for
women in erotic massage, the Kama Sutra, among others, are also being planned.

Not
getting a good night's sleep will not only give you dark circles under your
eyes, it will probably also give you ulcers.
A group of American researchers found that a chemical called TFF2 - a protein
produced by the stomach and small intestine to repair stomach tissue - is at
its lowest levels during the afternoon, and highest at night.
And when your body is resting and you are deep in slumber, TFF2 levels can actually
be increased up to 340 times.
