i swear i don't make these things up - just post them - even something as weird as this!
**********************************************
It turns out you can electrocute yourself if you pee on an electric fence. But that's just the beginning of this, the most bizarre story of the year thus far.
The 16-year-old Russian boy named Malik (last name withheld... obviously) had his penis maimed after receiving a severe electric shock while urinating on an electric wire.
But the good news is that doctors were able to grow him a new penis. On his arm. (Cue creepy 50s Sci-Fi music. -- Editor)
Surgeons at The Russian Clinical Hospital for Children in Moscow created the proxy prick by attaching a latex cylinder on Malik's forearm and pumping a solution into it every day.
The cylinder continued to grow on the his arm for 10 months until it took on the shape of a penis. Then the surgeons moved it to his groin.
Dr. Douglas Murray, former president of the British Association of Plastic Surgeons, said that this kind of plastic surgery is actually not that uncommon.
"He would probably be able to stand up and urinate instead of having to sit and do so," said Dr. Murray.
