THE guitarist in a German rock
band has learnt a hard lesson
after not being able to see
straight for some days after taking
too many Viagra pills.
20-year-old Tom Kaulitz from
popular group Tokio Hotel said he
was offered one of the blue
tablets during a concert tour of
Asia, and after first declininng
eventually decided to try one.
And then “I popped a few more
pills - probably too many,” he said.
“The next morning my head
was pounding and everything in
front of my eyes was blurry. It
wasn’t fun any more,” he added.
Luckily he didn’t incur any sort
of penalty for the drug abuse,
which in some jurisdictions could
result in a stiff sentence...
AND while we’re on the subject, a
veterinarian in New York has
prescribed two Viagra pills per
day for an ailing pit bull terrier.
The six-year-old canine suffers
from heartworms, meaning she
requires two 50mg Viagras each
day to boost blood flow and
prevent heart failure.
The dog lives in an animal
rescue shelter which is now short
of funding, and so is asking any
generous male benefactors to
donate any of their own Viagra
which they’re not taking.
Interestingly, one donation of
Viagra came from a woman who
pinched her husband’s entire
stash of the medication because
she suspected he was having an
extramarital affair.
THE environmental movement
has spread to the funeral industry,
with the creation of the ultimate
eco-friendly, low carbon footprint
way to go.
Swedish biologist Susanne
Wiigh-Masak has developed a
technique called “promession”
which involves the use of liquid
nitrogen to super-freeze a corpse -
which is then shaken until it
disintegrates into a pile of dust.
She said the crystallised body
particles can then be buried in a
bio-degradable container “to
nourish the growth of a plant or
tree in a memorial park”.
