Man suing BMW for perma-erection-inducing motorcycle.
From SF Weekly:
Local Man Claims BMW Ride Gave Him a Permanent Boner
Turns out BMWs aren't always a chick magnet.
Sadly, a San Francisco man had to find out the hard way how unpleasurable a BMW ride can be -- literally. According to a lawsuit filed in San Francisco this week, Henry Wolf says his BMW motorcycle's ridge-like seat gave him a "severe case of priapism," otherwise known as a really, really long (lasting) erection.
On the surface, that sounds like nothing more than a literalization of why guys buy motorcycles in the first place. But Wolf claims his constant erection has ruined his sex life -- and we're guessing that's more painful than the erection itself.
The complaint states that on May 1, 2010, Wolf was riding his 1993 BMW motorcycle equipped with a Corbin-Pacfic seat for about four hours when he noticed he had a hard and painful erection, which he now blamed on BMW and its deficiently designed seat.
"Plaintiff ... has been experiencing continuing problems since his motorcycle ride. He is now unable to engage in sexual activity, which is causing him substantial emotional and mental anguish," his lawyer states.
Wolf is suing BMW of North America and Corbin-Pacific, seeking damages for lost wages, personal injury, medical expenses, product liability, and negligent infliction of emotional distress.
Perhaps Wolf should trade in his BMW for a minivan -- those are definitely boner-killers.

The strangest things people have traded for sex.
From Find Law's blog:
You've heard of the sex trade, but probably not like this: You may be surprised by the variety of strange things people have tried to trade for sex.
We're not just talking about prostitutes, either. Indecent proposals by some everyday folks -- even a judge and a former "Sheriff of the Year" -- made our Top 5 list of strange things traded for sex.
Here's our Top 5, in no particular order:
1. McDonald's Chicken McNuggets
The Golden Arches regularly touts its nuggets, made from 100% breast meat. That may be one reason Khadijah Baseer, 31, allegedly staked out a McDonald's parking lot in Burbank, Calif., to offer sex acts in exchange for McNuggets. But when customers refused to bite at her offer, police arrived and arrested her.
2. McDonald's Double Cheeseburgers
The Cheeseburglar would be shaking his head at this one: Christine Baker, 47, allegedly agreed to have sex with an undercover Florida cop in exchange for two double cheeseburgers off the McDonald's dollar menu. The cop bought the burgers, but Baker allegedly also asked for a tip in cash. She must've grimaced when police busted her for prostitution.
3. Phillies tickets
A Pennsylvania woman allegedly tried to score tickets to a Phillies-Yankees World Series game in 2009 in exchange for sex -- with a man who turned out to be an undercover cop. Courts eventually cleared Susan Finkelstein, 45, of all prostitution-related charges. But not before her strange approach to securing World Series tickets got her fired from her job.
4. Methamphetamine
A former "Sheriff of the Year" in Colorado was busted for allegedly trying to trade methamphetamine for sex. Ex-Sheriff Patrick J. Sullivan, 68, was caught on tape trying to make the deal happen, and was also charged with manufacturing and selling the drug. He was booked, ironically, into a jail that bears his name.
5. Justice
Pennsylvania Judge Ross Cioppa, 70, was accused of demanding sexual favors from female defendants in exchange for favorable outcomes in court. Cioppa allegedly tried this twice, in two separate cases, before being charged with bribery, indecent assault, and official oppression -- definitely one of the stranger things we've seen allegedly being traded for sex.

Busted for praying nude.
From United Press International:
Philadelphia family of four were taken into custody after allegedly stripping naked and praying in a parking lot at Upper Darby High School, authorities say.
Police Superintendent Michael Chitwood said Sarah Butler, 44, and her children, Joanne Butler, 23, Bessie Butler, 22, and 14-year-old son were arrested about 1 p.m. Friday after being found inside a parked van on the school grounds, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported.
Chitwood said the family had arrived at the school about 3 hours earlier to have her biological child released from school, the Delaware County Daily Times reported.
"Because she has no parental rights, school officials would not release the child and said she couldn't take the child out of school," Chitwood said. "They started singing religious songs and lay prone on the sidewalk at the entrance to the building."
When school security ordered them to leave, they returned to the van and took off all their clothes, the Daily Times said.
"They disrobed between parked cars and were running around chanting prayers to Jesus," Chitwood said. "They were running around the lot for 5 to 10 minutes. When police got there, they were in a van and locked their arms in defiant protest. They were chanting 'Jesus is Lord.'"
The three adults were to be charged with defiant trespass, disorderly conduct and open lewdness, with the mother also expected to be charged with corruption of a minor, the Inquirer said. The teenager was placed with Children and Youth Services.
School Principal Chris Dormer called it a "rather bizarre incident" in an announcement made on the school's Web site, the Daily Times reported.

More clogged drains.
A week ago, I posted a letter from an English university about masturbating in the showers and clogging the drains (link). Monika sent along a photo of a sign from UBC that's supposedly real. Can anyone comment on the veracity of these signs? Do they really exist, or is this simply a really good Photoshop job?
