A boss and his secretary who were having an affair saw their romantic tryst interrupted in a wince-inducing manner – after a car crash led her to accidentally bite his penis off.

According to reports in China Press and Sin Chew Daily, the 30-year-old woman was performing oral sex on her boss in a car in a Singapore park, when the car was struck by a reversing van.

The impact caused her to bite the man’s penis off.

ust in case this wasn’t already bad enough for those involved, the incident was observed by a private detective who had been sent by the woman’s husband to catch them out.

He described how, shortly after parking, the car started to ‘shake violently’ – but then was hit by the van. He said that the woman screamed loudly, with her mouth covered in blood.

Helpfully, the investigator called an ambulance to take the man to hospital. His lover followed him there, with part of his penis.

The investigator said he’s never seen an incident like it before.

Pool Party in Vegas

(LiveScience Staff) One in five people admitted to peeing in a swimming pool, in a recent poll of Americans.

In fact, the survey conducted by the Water Quality and Health Council found that almost half (47 percent) of the subjects admitted to one or more behaviors that contribute to an unhealthy pool.

Here are some of the survey’s other findings:

• About one-third (35 percent) say they don’t shower before entering the pool.
• 63 percent were unaware of illnesses associated with swallowing, breathing or having contact with contaminated pool water.
• Less than one quarter consider the frequency of pool cleaning and chemical treatment (23 percent) and even less (16 percent) think about chlorine levels to maintain clean pool water.

“Swimming is a fun and healthy activity for old and young alike. Proper water chlorination helps protect swimmers from germs that can make swimmers sick,” said Michele Hlavsa, an epidemiologist in the Division of Parasitic Diseases for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). “But swimmers also have role to play in maintaining a clean and healthy pool. Unhygienic behavior brings germs into the pool and makes it harder for chlorine to do its job.”

The survey was conducted online between April 30 to May 3, 2009, among a national sample of 1,000 U.S. adults, using the field services of TNS Omnibus. Results were weighted to reflect the adult population based on U.S. Census figures, including age, gender, geographic region, household income and household size. The margin of error for the study was plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.

The Water Quality & Health Council is a body of independent scientific experts, health professionals and consumer advocates who serve as advisors to the Chlorine Chemistry Division of the American Chemistry Council, an industry trade association.

The CDC urges pool users to follow these six tips for healthy swimming:

• Don’t swim when you have diarrhea.
• Don’t swallow pool water.
• Practice good hygiene. Shower with soap before swimming and wash your hands after using the toilet or changing diapers.
• Take your kids on bathroom breaks or check diapers often.
• Change diapers in a bathroom or a diaper-changing area and not at poolside.
• Wash your children thoroughly (especially the rear end) with soap and water before they go swimming.

Unclean water can lead to recreational water illnesses (RWI’s) —  diarrhea, respiratory illness, and ear and skin infections. Children, pregnant women and people with compromised immune systems can suffer from more severe illness if infected. According to the CDC, these illnesses are on the rise. Between 2005 and 2006, 78 outbreaks were reported in 31 states — the largest number of outbreaks ever in a two-year period.  Close to 4,500 people were affected.

To check that your public pool is properly chlorinated, the Water Quality and Health Council recommends the use of portable pool and spa testing strips, easily purchased at pool supply stores and discount retailers, in addition to trusting your basic senses.

“A smelly pool is a dirty pool,” said National Consumers League President Emeritus and Water Quality and Health Council Vice-Chair Linda Golodner. “Look for water that’s clean, clear and blue. Check for tiles that feel smooth and clean. Make sure there are no strong odors. Listen for pool cleaning equipment. Using your senses help you recognize the difference between a healthy pool and one that needs cleaning and treatment.”

AFP/Getty Images – A small-town Australian doctor used a household drill to release a blood clot from the brain of a boy

SYDNEY (AFP) – A small-town Australian doctor used a household drill to release a blood clot from the brain of a boy following a bicycle accident in what was hailed as an act of extreme bravery and skill.

Nick Rossi, 13, began bleeding on the brain after hitting his head on concrete in a fall from his bicycle last Friday in the town of Maryborough, northwest of Melbourne, his father, Michael, said.

Though he seemed fine, Rossi said his wife, Karen, decided to take their son to the hospital after she discovered a lump behind his ear.

“From there he just started to deteriorate,” Rossi told state radio.

“He started to pass in and out of consciousness to the point where they actually had to put a breathing apparatus on him to make him breathe, and that’s where the two local GPs turned the emergency room into an operating theatre.”

One of the doctors, David Tynan, said it fast became apparent that if they didn’t act to relieve the pressure on Nick’s brain he was going to die.

But the small hospital surgery was not equipped with a drill powerful enough to pierce the boy’s skull, “so we sent down to the maintenance department,” Tynan said.

“Under (telephone) instructions from … a neurosurgeon in Melbourne we made an incision in his scalp down to the bone and then drilled through it with a drill,” he said.

“It’s pretty scary, you obviously worry you’re … pushing too hard but then when some blood came out after we’d gone through the skull we realised we’d made the right decision,” he added.

Rossi said Rob Carson, the doctor who performed the drilling, had told him they had just “one shot” at saving his son, and Nick’s neurosurgeon had told him the gutsy act had meant the difference between life and death.

“He later told me that what Dr Carson did was extremely brave,” Rossi said.

“To have done that with a household drill … he said it was unbelievable.”

A draining tube was inserted into Nick’s head to allow the blood to escape, and he received a transfusion of fresh blood in his arm.

Rossi said he was then airlifted to Melbourne where he made a full recovery and was released from hospital Tuesday — his 13th birthday.
