Wonders shall never end! A 55-year-old Costa Rican man almost died from anal injuries after an 18-inch cassava that he was using as an anal sex toy got stuck inside him. Fortunately, he was saved after doctors at San Juan de Dios Hospital in San Jose managed to remove the cassava.   According to reports, the man had carved the long and broad cassava into a phallic shape, wrapped it in two condoms and proceeded to use it.

She discovered she was entitled to free treatment as part of an Indian poverty scheme. The surgeons took just three hours to remove the massive tumour, which weighed the same as a large man, from her right ovary. "She was in severe pain when she came to the hospital.
