Tanks containing ‘large quantity of cattle semen’ stolen in burglary

A penis from a whale was discovered by a Queensland, Australia, woman. The huge, grayish item found by a lady who’d been strolling along the ocean side at Attractive Island recently.

She said in a TikTok video, ” What on earth is that? It’s huge, about the same size as my leg. This is disgusting.

Many people speculated as to what it might be because it appeared “fleshy” at the top, as if it had been separated from an animal.

Due to the fact that humpback whales are currently breeding in the area, some thought it might be a whale’s penis.

Dr. Vanessa Pirotta, a wildlife expert, also responded to the video, stating that scientists would not be able to precisely identify the object without seeing it firsthand.

“As scientists, we want as much information as we can get about the size and how it looks from every angle, so we don’t know at this point.

“There are currently a lot of humpback whales in the area where this unidentified object was discovered.”

However, she did not rule out the possibility that the penis was “bitten off,” stating that “it is very unlikely that it was bitten off by another” if it belonged to a humpback whale.

She continued, I’ve never heard of a male whale biting off another male’s penis because these whales don’t have teeth but rather baleen, long hair-like strands.

Despite the absence of markings, she asserted that it could have been attacked by a killer whale or another predator.

A recently surfaced 1864 letter provides a glimpse into a little-discussed affliction among Civil War soldiers – chronic masturbation.

The handwritten note by Confederate Lt. William Dandridge Pitts inquires about the condition of his brother Charles, who was discharged from the army in 1862 due to an unspecified “illness.” Charles was residing at the Western Lunatic Asylum in Virginia.

According to Charles’ doctor and accounts from fellow soldiers, his illness was a relentless addiction to masturbation. “I have had some conversation with the physician who attended my brother previous to his going to the asylum,” Lt. Pitts wrote, “and he advises me…that [Charles] was addicted to masturbation, while in camp.”

The letter highlights the mental health toll of the war, even before combat began. Soldiers forced to endure their comrades’ “self-pollution” no doubt developed deep psychological scars.

While masturbation remained taboo in the Victorian era, it was pervasive enough in the military to earn the nickname “Johnny Reb.” The irony of this affliction among troops from Virginia, the “state for lovers,” was surely not lost on the Pitts family.

The letter survives in excellent condition despite its delicate subject matter. This “director’s cut” offers intimate insight into secret struggles in Civil War ranks.

A doctor from Wales has been suspended from the medical register after a tribunal found he contaminated a female colleague’s coffee with his own semen.

The incident involved Dr. Nicholas Chapman, 43, a general practitioner at the Cwmcarn Primary Surgery in Caerphilly county. The Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) heard that in August 2021, Dr. Chapman entered the staff kitchen and ejaculated into a travel mug belonging to a female GP colleague.

The victim reportedly drank from the mug and noticed an “unusual” taste and consistency. Suspicious, she discreetly secured the mug for forensic testing. The results confirmed the presence of semen, and DNA analysis later identified Dr. Chapman as the source.

Dr. Chapman denied the allegation, claiming he had only spat into the mug. However, the tribunal rejected this explanation as “implausible and untrue,” stating that his actions were “deplorable and a significant breach of trust.”

The tribunal concluded that Dr. Chapman’s actions were sexually motivated and amounted to misconduct. While they determined his fitness to practice was not currently impaired, they issued a six-month suspension, citing the need to maintain public confidence in the medical profession and declare such behaviour unacceptable. This suspension will be reviewed before it expires. The case has been reported to South Wales Police.
