Penis snatching...
This is old news but it is fresh news to me.
Apparentley, there is a belief amongst certain Nigerians that there are 'penis snatching' people, who steal your shmeckle by simply shaking your hand. After the hand shake, as the 'penis snatcher' walks away, your beloved treasure begins to shrink and then disappear altogether.
My opinion about this speculation is summarised in two words:
Bizzare and mythical
'Missing' penis sparks mob lynching
Thursday, 12 April, 2001, 18:10 GMT 19:10 UK
Police in the south western Nigerian state of Osun say they have embarked on a constant patrol after mobs lynched at least 12 people since last weekend.
All the killings occurred after the victims were accused of making people's genital organs disappear.
The Osun state police commissioner Ganiu Dawodu, who dismissed claims of organ disappearance, told the BBC that the mob killings started two weeks ago and has swept though six main towns in the state including the university town of Ife and the state capital of Osogbo.
''We are terribly worried about the mass hysteria leading to such mob action,'' Mr Dawodu said.
Mobbed
The most gruesome case occurred on Friday when hundreds of members of the evangelical sect Brotherhood of the Cross went to the town of Ilesa for their annual convention.
While the sect members were on a house-to-house preaching mission, someone raised an alarm that his penis had disappeared.
An angry mob descended on the visiting evangelists and burnt eight of them to death. Two buses and a car were also burnt.
The Osun state police commissioner said that they have since arrested two persons including the man who raised the false alarm about disappearing genitals.

Maybe Osun had an unexpected, anomalous cold snap in spring 2001. Men can be so sensitive...

In general, a man's southern region can be sensitive.

I find this rather hilarious!
The following is written by an university lecturer from Italy and is taken from this link: http://www.prattle.net/archives/001682.html
"In its description of witches' practices, intended to help witch-hunters identify their prey, it says they were in the habit of robbing men of their genitals.
[Witches] sometimes collect male organs in great numbers, as many as 20 or 30 members together, and put them in a bird's nest, or shut them up in a box, where they move themselves like living members, and eat oats and corn, wrote the authors of the Malleus Maleficarum.
Published in 1486, the manual brought together much of the legend surrounding sorceresses that had grown up in previous centuries.
Two of the other women in the mural are tearing at each other's hair as they appear to fight for possession of just such a magically liberated penis as the one described in the Malleus Maleficarum. On the other side of the woman with a stick another is being sodomised by another free-wheeling, or rather free-floating, male organ.
In the middle ages, heretics did one thing above all and that was sodomy, Dr Ferzoco said. To the medieval Italian mind, it was an act that exemplified unnaturalness, disharmony and lack of community. "

I hate it when serious journalism doesn't follow up on its stories....

This is by far the most peculiar thread I have found.
But, woah, I can't even think what if it's true
