The clip below says it all:
A Malaysian welder had to have a nut removed from around his penis after an attempt to lengthen it before he gets engaged next week went embarrassingly wrong, a news report said Sunday.
The nut got stuck on his penis following an erection, the Star newspaper said, forcing him to seek help at a hospital in southern Johor state.
I vote: Just Plain Nutty!

We bring you news from Hickman, Nebraska:
The owner of a 32-year-old horse named Peter Rabbit wasn’t able Tuesday to buck a local ban on livestock within city limits.
After widespread publicity of the ban that threatened to kick Peter Rabbit off the pasture where he was born, the Hickman City Council considered an ordinance Tuesday night that would allow horses inside city limits. But council members ultimately voted 4-2 against adopting it, leaving the ban intact.
Apparently the City Council’s vote wasn’t a popular one.
Hickman City Administrator Bret Baker hasn’t been amused by all the publicity. Given some of the phone calls he’s received, it’s tough to blame him.
He said staff had to turn off the voicemail because of all the phone calls, and the flood of e-mails “actually bombed our e-mail server three times.”

Maybe there’s some subtle statement in this couple’s decision to have their wedding at a funeral home:
“I look at it as, if you go to a church and get married, how many caskets do you think have been rolled down that aisle?” he told The Herald-Palladium of St. Joseph.

Interview on People’s website starts out:
Even the kids were in the dark.
Meghan McCain, 23, didn’t find out until a few hours before the rest of the nation. Track Palin, 19, an Army private on base in Fairbanks, Alaska, got the news in a text message an hour before his mother, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin took the stage in Dayton, Ohio, as John McCain’s pick to be his running mate. “I said, ‘Track! Turn the TV on in an hour,’” Sarah Palin told PEOPLE. “He says, ‘What does this mean? Am I going to have to crawl in a hole?’ And I said, ‘No!’ Because he had no idea; he doesn’t even know where we are.”
Where they were was the Nutter Center college sports arena in Dayton, Ohio. And PEOPLE was there for an exclusive backstage interview with the McCain and Palin families suddenly joined in the campaign for the White House. Sarah Palin, in ruby red peep-toe platform heels that showed off a pink French-style pedicure, first ducked into a holding room to change the diaper of her just-up-from-a-nap 4 1/2-month-old son, Trig.
