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.'

Father's Testosterone Drops Steeply After Baby Arrives -

Father's Testosterone Drops Steeply After Baby Arrives - 


A father's testosterone level drops steeply after his baby arrives, showing that human males are biologically wired to care for their offspring, a U.S. study out Tuesday showed.
Researchers from Northwestern University, Illinois, followed a large group of men in their 20s and found testosterone levels fell after they found partners and became fathers.
They said the effect is the same in many other species in which males take care of dependent offspring, as testosterone boosts behaviors and other traits that help a male compete for a mate.

This "mating-related" behavior, however, can conflict with the responsibilities of fatherhood, so when males do have children it becomes advantageous for the body to reduce production of the hormone, according to the study.
Christopher Kuzawa, co-author of the study, said, "Raising human offspring is such an effort that it is cooperative by necessity, and our study shows that human fathers are biologically wired to help with the job."
The new study's findings also suggest that fathers may experience an especially large, but temporary, decline in testosterone when they first bring home a baby, as fathers adjust to the demands of having a newborn.
Previous studies had shown that fathers tended to have lower testosterone levels, but they were not conclusive regarding whether fatherhood diminished testosterone or whether men with low testosterone in the first place were more likely to become fathers.
