1 Sounds another honor killing. Executioners are so creative.

2 If you are born to die of being buried in cow dung, you're not going to die of snake bite. (See Barry Lester story about being twice bit by a rattlesnake.)

Nah, it's a Hindu thing. Sacred cows and all that.
Gandhi was big on cow dung IIRC:
"Dude, try this cow dung milkshake. It is very healthy."
"Oh, look at the time! I think I hear my mom calling. Gotta run. Tah!"

4 Jeez SteveS, not only did your comment ruin my appetite for lunch you also almost caused me to upchuck breakfast!

7 Not into milkshakes, Omeger? Maybe a nice glass of thirst-quenching "Gau Jal," aka "cow water".

As a side note, we appear to have reached a point in history where no matter what sort of crazy-ass shit you make up (no pun intended), be assured that there is someone, somewhere, out doing it right now.

8 Weirdest thing I ever did was to order a pregnancy test on a man.

So what were the results?

I've heard of one clinic (or provider) which had a lot of pregnancy test insurance claims rejected because the patient was male...

10 #8: Maybe this was a case of fluid gender?

11 Man's pregnancy test was positive. He was not pregnant. He had an advanced type of cancer, whose cells produced the same hormone that makes the pregnancy test positive. He only lived a couple of years after this, but my test got him the earliest possible focused treatment. The ribbing I got from the other ER staff was something - before the test. After the test report, it was vewy vewy quiet for the remainder of the shift. Most medical students are taught a little about this type of tumor, and most forget it quickly.
