The 100 Weirdest News Stories We Dugg in 2008: 90 - 81

90. Lost Parrot Tells Veterinarian His Address (1664 Diggs)
A lost parrot that refused to speak to the police who rescued him opened right up when the cops turned him over to a vet, reciting his name and address as his owner had trained him to. "I tried to be friendly and talk to him," said police officer Shinjiro Uemura, "but he completely ignored me." One thing is for certain -- that parrot is no stool pigeon.

89. Man Sues Doctors for Amputating Penis (1679 Diggs)
A Kentucky man went in for a routine circumcision (if there is such a thing) and woke up to find his entire penis amputated. Not surprisingly, Kevin George is suing his doctors, who claim they spotted cancer and made an emergency decision that couldn't wait until he woke up a few hours later. Amyvernon summed up what everyone was thinking when she wrote, "OK, I'm usually not big on lawsuits, but I completely support this guy."

88. Nine-year-old-boy Told He's Too Good to Pitch (1764 Diggs)
A nine-year-old Little Leaguer was told that his 40 mph fastball was just too speedy, and he was banned from pitching in the Youth Baseball League of New Haven, Conn. When his coach defied the league edict and put Jericho Scott back on the mound, the league disbanded his team. "I feel sad," Scott said. "I feel like it's all my fault nobody could play." Alecsputin agreed that Scott was the culprit: "I hate people that succeed at what they try to do! Go play some video games kid!"

87. Man Calls 911 Over Incorrect Sandwich (1782 Diggs)
Reginald Peterson dialed 911 not once, but twice, after the sandwiches he ordered from Subway did not have all the fixings he had requested. When the cops arrived and tried to explain to Peterson the proper way to use the emergency response service, he was uncooperative and they arrested him. It should surprise no one that this went down in Florida.

86. Graffiti Snails Attack London (1818 Diggs)
A British graffiti artist known only as Slinkachu decided to unleash on the world a slow-moving art project -- snails with graffiti painted on their backs. The 28-year-old reassured Metro UK readers, "No snails were harmed -- they just had their homes vandalized."

85. Sarah Palin Sex Doll (1822 Diggs)
The litigiously savvy adult product manufacturers who created a blow-up sex doll in the image of Alaska's sexiest governor ever (sorry Frank Murkowski), labeled it the "This Is NOT Sarah Palin Inflatable Love Doll." But they were willing to concede the sex toy could help you "cross party lines with your own inflatable running mate."

84. Man Sues Doctor for Stapling His Butt Shut (1868 Diggs)
A West Virginia man is suing his doctor in federal court after a botched surgery that left his rectum stapled shut. As a result of this tragedy, Ronald Watkins had to go 17 days without defecating. Watkins's lawsuit doesn't seek a specific amount of damages, but Pimpofpixals thinks Watkins should get "a butt load of money."

83. Did Adolf Hitler Draw Disney Characters? (1885 Diggs)
A Norwegian museum director claims to have discovered pictures of Disney cartoons drawn by Adolf Hitler during World War II. Hitler was a trained artist and a known fan of Disney films. This dichotomy between childhood innocence and perhaps the worst person who ever lived is sure to fetch a small fortune when the prints go to auction.

82. Court Finds Model Innocent Based on Breast Size (1898 Diggs)
Serena Kozakura, a buxom Japanese bikini model, was charged and initially found guilty of breaking into a man's apartment by kicking a hole in the door and crawling through. But, on appeal, her lawyer had a Johnny Cochrane/Jackie Childs-like revelation and was able to convince a judge that the hole in the door wasn't big enough for Kozakura's 44-inch bust to fit through. If the t*ts don't fit, you must acquit.

81. "What Are You Doing Here?" Man Asks Wife at Brothel (1961 Diggs)
A Polish man got the shock of his life when he visited a brothel and spotted his wife of 14 years among the working girls. The couple decided to divorce, but, as Homedaddy pointed out, "At least he knows where he can get it again if he ever gets nostalgic."
