A Secret Santa?
Someone sent me a beautiful gift via Amazon this week. There was no note, if it was you, please let me know
Love My Boston Bruins
Worst to First! Tim Thomas records his 30th career shutout and the Bruins paste the Flyers 6-0. Boston now sits on top of the Eastern Conference... a mere 41 days after they were in the basement.

True Story - Careful With Those Spa Treatments
I found this story that I passing on fascinating for a few reasons. First, I have spent a lot time in the city where the incident took place and second, well it is all a bit hard to comprehend.

Zhang Nan was bathing with live eels to cleanse his skin when one rogue serpent took a liking to his manhood. The eel treatment in question is a similar concept to the popular London spas that offer fish pedicures. Thinking that the eels would make him look ten years younger, Nan dived into the water and let them feast upon layers of dead skin. But after laying in the spa bath, Nan felt a sharp pain and realised a small eel was working its way up his urethra and into his bladder. 'I climbed into the bath and I could feel the eels nibbling my body. But then suddenly I felt a severe pain and realised a small eel had gone into the end of my penis,' the 56-year-old from Honghu, Hubei province said. 'I tried to hold it and take it out, but the eel was too slippery to be held and it disappeared up my penis.'(OK, that's enough cringing now... it's horrible, though, we know...)
Rushing himself to hospital, the man underwent a three-hour operation to remove the six-inch eel which was dead by the time doctors found it. Surgeon Jin Wang said that, because of the eel's slippery nature, it was able to make a smooth entry into the genitals of Nan. 'The diameter of the urethra in a man's penis is just a little narrower, but because eels are quite slippery, its body worked as a lubricant and so it got into the penis smoothly,' he said. (Really - stop cringing - we can see you...)
Believe it or not, Nan's case follows a similar incident when a 14-year-old boy in India had to undergo emergency surgery. In a case study published by urologists Dr G Vezhaventhan and R Jeyaraman, they described how they removed a 2cm-long fish from the boy's bladder. The teenager said that while holding the fish he had gone to the toilet and, while urinating, the fish had 'slipped from his hand and entered his urethra'.
Hmmm...

Welcome Home, Stanley Cup
My Boston Bruins brought home the Stanley Cup last week. Who knew it could bring such happiness? To my Canadian friends, there is always next year.

Let the Baseball Begin!!!
I am Red Sox fan. Today is their first game of the season (albeit not here in Boston, where it snowed last night). On days like this everything seems possible. There are no blown saves, no injuries yet, only hope. Who are you following this season?
