Women Saved By German Man Falling On Her

Not the way you would normally fall for a woman granted but for a twenty seven year old German man it was the way he saved an unconscious women's life.

Twenty seven year old Jens Wilhelms was walking along when he had the misfortune to fall down a twenty five foot lift shaft. What broke his fall at the bottom and saved him from injury was a big surprise to him, it was actually an unconscious fifty seven year old woman who had fallen down the shaft the day before.

Some would say its unlucky that the lady fell down the shaft and even more unlucky that she then had the misfortune of a man using her as a crash barrier when he fell down the shaft. The truth is that the fifty seven year old lady in question was actually saved by Jens as she had been unconscious for over 24 hours and was serious injured.

The emergency services who rescued both from the lift shaft said that it was a bizarre event as Jens falling on the woman actually damaged her more severely but saved her life at the same time.

The Wheelchair Getaway

The place - California
The bank - Wachovia Bank, Stanford Shopping Centre in Palo Alto
The perp - An old man aged sixty five to seventy years old in a wheelchair!

An old aged pensioner of around sixty five to seventy years of age with white hair and a beard innocently wheeled in to the Wachovia Bank at the Stanford Shopping Centre before pulling out a gun and getting the cashier to fist handfuls of cash in to a bag. Once the perp had got his cash he made a speedy getaway in his electric wheelchair.

Given he is in an electric wheelchair you would imagine that the police would be able to catch this aging armed robber but you would be wrong. The old robber managed to evade capture from the police and made his getaway without any problems.

The police are currently searching for this old man and have released a sketch, the problem is that they could not capture a good image of him on CCTV because of the hood of his sweatshirt that was covering his face.

It seems that no matter how old a person gets they can decide the criminal path is the one for them, who would ever have thought that a wheelchair bound pensioner could rob a bank and make a speedy getaway evading the police!

The European Union soft porn film

Many of the wonderful people in the European Union will be surprised to find that the leaders of the European Union have took it upon themselves to create a soft porn film.....yes you heard right, a soft porn film.

The forty four second video showing eighteen couples going at it like rabbits (including gay couples) only breaks between each couple to show shelves rattling and eggs shaking.

The funniest thing about the film is the end when you see the couples climax and the words "Lets come together" show on the screen.

The film is actually called Film lovers will love and is an advertisment to show that EU funds go towards creating and distributing films in the European Union.

I couldnt resist showing you the film :P

A Testicle Too Far

A thirty seven year old man from Liverpool, England was left holding his own testicle after it was torn from his body in what I can only describe as crazy circumstances.

The man in question was at a house party close to where he lived and had enjoyed a great night when he ex girlfriend who is thirteen years his junior (24) came up to him with amorous advances. The gentleman declined the advances and his ex girlfriend went in to a rage grabbing his genitals and pulling hard, this caused the mans trousers and underpants to be torn off.....and also his left testicle.

After realising that she had torn off the mans left testicle the ex girlfriend then tried to swallow it...yes swallow it... before choking on it and spitting it back out, a friend then grabbed the left testicle of the ex girlfriend and gave it back to the man who it belonged too.

After going to hospital the left testicle was unfortunately not in a condition to be reattached. The ex girlfriend has been jailed for two and a half years for her actions.

What a crazy story.....but actually true.....how can someone tear off an ex partners testicle and TRY TO SWALLOW IT!!!!

Angels are crying

Given the world in which we live in, one where pain and suffering is a daily occurence I thought I would today post the lyrics to a song I heard that I thought would provoke people in to thinking about the world and the people around them. The group/person who the song is by is called Morandi and the song is called Angels.

People..stop fighting, angels are crying
We can be better, love is the answer
Search inside, are there anymore tears to cry ?
Don't you wonder why ?
Why you feel so alone all against the world
Search back time, when you used to sing along
To the music of your song
Song effect you can change, it's not too late
People..stop fighting, angels are crying

Some of you may have heard this song already and did not know all the lyrics. It is amazing to think that the power of song can really make you think deeply about life and the world, this song certainly did to me as I could relate to what the lyrics represent.

When I heard these lyrics they really had an impact on me and made me really think about the world and how there is much we could do by just being more loving and caring towards fellow man.

Man made to marry goat!

I came across a story from 2006 that had me laughing so much that I had to write a post about this historical peice of news.

In February 2006 a man from Sudan was caught having sexual relations with a goat by its owner. The owner woke up in the middle of the night and rushed outside to find another Sudanese man called Mr. Tombe mounted on his goat.

When the goat owner asked Mr. Tombe what he was doing Mr. Tombe fell off the back of the goat he was "riding". The goat owner then caught Mr. Tombe and tied him up.

Instead of ringing the police the goat owner decided to speak to the elders from where he lives, the elders said that Mr. Tombe had used the goat as his wife so as such he needs to pay the goat owner a dowry ($50) and take the goat as his wife....which is just what Mr. Tombe's did.

It also said in the article that nearly two weeks on man and goat were still together as far as the goat owner knew.

Russian fishermans Miracle

Imagine you have been out fishing in your boat when terrible weather comes and you are shipwrecked somewhere remote without communication and proper food sources and you are found after three months, it sounds like something out of a Hollywood film doesn't it.

On 10th October 2007 eleven Russian fisherman set out in two boats to catch a haul of fish in the remote region of the Kamchatka Peninsula (6,700 kilometres east of Moscow). After a huge storm erupted while they were fishing both boats were wrecked and washed up in a bay.

Since October 10th 2007 all eleven fishermen had been living in the wrecks of their boats to provice shelter and burning furniture from the boats to provide warmth. The food supplies they had were the fish they caught prior to becoming shipwrecked and also flour they found in an abandoned military base they found in the bay.

At the beginning of the new year with food supplies becoming dangerously low the fishermen decided to split in to two teams, one stayed at their make shift base in the wreckage of their boats while the other set out on foot to find help.

The team that set out on foot came across Russian soldiers after an ardeous trek, these soldiers raised the alarm and sent helicopters in to rescue the other half of the team still with the wreckage. This was on Friday January 4th 2008, 87 days after they first started out on Wednesday October 10th 2007.

After three months living in a remote region of Russia with no communication and very basic supplies all eleven fishermen not only survived, they also required no medical treatment

To me this is a wonderful story that shows just how people can work together during times of distress to beat the odds and survive.

The beginning

Today a new dawn has begun, this is not some biblical apocalypse or even a new political leader about to start reigning over a country far away, this new dawn is my blog VVIDE.

There are many millions of blogs on the Internet, some providing valuable information, some are satirical in nature while others are used as a tool to promote ones business. VVIDE has been created so one man (Me) can show his rambling thoughts on the world today, from items in the news to general interests I have.

I do hope you follow my ideas and thoughts as they help me grow as a person and hopefully provoke thought in those who read them.
