BERLIN (Reuters) - A woman in Germany says she still loves her boyfriend even though he bit her nose right off.
Judge Beatrix Homann said on Thursday her court in the western city of Hanover had sentenced the 26-year-old man to 18 months in jail for the assault, but that his partner, 50, had forgiven him.
"I still love this man," the judge quoted the woman, who has had six operations to build a synthetic nose, as saying at the hearing on Tuesday.
"He was just drunk," Homann told Reuters.
BERLIN (Reuters) - A German cut off his own * with a kitchen knife to cure his addiction to sex, police in the southern town of Tiengen said on Friday.
"The man called a friend around eight o'clock to say he'd done something stupid," police said in a statement. He had been drinking vodka to pluck up courage for the amateur surgery.
Police arrived to discover the blood-soaked man, 41, in his apartment and his organ under the kitchen table. Emergency services rushed the man and his * to a nearby hospital.
Police said the man did not want his * to be reattached but were unable to say if doctors had complied with his wishes.
MEDFORD, Oregon - You can do almost anything with a can of WD-40 -- including using it as a weapon. At least according to police in Medford, Oregon. Michael Provencio is charged with attacking a man with the handyman's best friend -- and robbing his victim. According to investigators, Provencio entered an apartment through an unlocked screen door, threatened the resident with scissors and sprayed him with WD-40. Provencio has pleaded innocent. He's being held on $500,000 bond.
MILWAUKIE, Oregon - The fish were biting for 14-year-old Jason McGinnis -- for real. The young fisherman caught a red belly piranha in a creek in a Portland, Oregon, suburb. The flesh-eating fish bit Jason on his finger as he pulled it out of the water. But he's not getting even by having it for dinner. Jason has decided put the fish in his bathtub and plans to sell it to a pet shop. The experts figure the piranha was probably in a fish tank, before someone set it free in the creek.
Follow That Bar Stool!
RENO, Nev. - Police pulled over a man on a bar stool - after a slow speed pursuit on one of Reno's busier streets.
It started Monday when an officer saw a man riding the motorized bar stool at 35 mph. He was being followed closely by a woman in a Mustang.
Both driver and rider were pulled over.
The woman told police she had been on the phone with a dispatcher reporting the bar stool stolen.
The owner of the bar stool confirmed that the stool, powered by a small engine, had been taken three weeks earlier.
Jarrett Orcutt, 22, said he had bought it a little over a week ago, thinking it was a toy and added that he had driven it between Reno and nearby Sparks several times. Police estimate its value at more than $1,000.
Orcutt faces Reno charges of possession of stolen property, possession of drug paraphernalia and numerous traffic violations.
Sparks police are handling the stolen vehicle report.

They're fine as long as you keep them well fed. Missed a days feeding once, thought the wife had done it (she thought I had), and found my oscar with its head bitten clean off. He didn't get any company after that (and Oscars are mean). Bought his pellets by the 20lb bag, with the occasional dozen goldfish for a treat. Right before I got rid of him, he would ram the side of the 55 gallon show tank and rock it (don't know how it didn't break) when he got agitated.
Got a new gun for my ex-wife.....pretty good trade, huh?

It's not what you know that gets you in trouble, it's what you know that just ain't so!
