The man had gone into the hospital to treat an ulcer and when the infection began to spread, doctors had no choice but schedule an amputation for the infected foot. In an horrible turn of events, doctors severed the wrong foot instead and after they realized their unfortunate mistake, they had to move quickly to remove the damaged one to keep the infection from spreading further. The hospital learned of their mistake after the patient’s daughter lifted his sheets and discovered that they had removed the wrong foot.

Much to the shock of his 27-year-old female co-host, the man went on to say ‘Cat, soaked for three days in the running water of a stream comes out with its meat white and I assure you I have eaten it many times, that it is a delicacy’. Due the fact that Cats are protected by law in Italy and the taboo nature of his announcement, the television host has been put on indefinite suspension.

The man casually walked into the arcade, order the coffee, then threatened to hit the female employee over the head with it unless she opened up the register and handed over all the cash. Authorities believe that the robber probably hadn’t planned on committing a heist that night, but after noticing the young woman working alone, she became an easy target for him. It is unknown how much money the man made off with and police are worried about other would-be robbers committing similar crimes. The espresso bandit has successfully evaded capture and is still on the loose.

The man was arrested and will spend 14 weeks in a New Zealand prison before he’s deported back to Germany with a fine of $3,540, but could have easily ended up with the maximum sentence of six months in prison and a staggering penalty of $355,000.

Harken Strangers! So you’ve come here on this dark and stormy night to hear my dastardly little tale. Let me begin by saying, that no matter how shocking it may seem, every crimson ounce of it is true. I am an advocate of mischief and a creator of turmoil. I compose ghastly music based on eerie circumstance and delightful tragedy in the band Creature Feature and the band Rufus Rex. I direct strange films depicting ill-fated events and ghoulish irony. I am a writer of the macabre, as opposed to a revolver, I use a sharpened pencil to displace my brains. I gently squeeze the trigger and splatter the page with metaphor. Read, watch, and listen, you never know what wonderful terrible things you might unearth.
If you enjoy my website and like what I do, please donate toward my film projects, they desperately need it.
