32 MIDWEEK AUGUST 11, 2021
An unnamed man in Xinghua, China, was hospitalized after he inserted a 20-cen- timeter-long eel into his anus on July 20 to ease his constipation, Global Times reported.
The Struggle Is ‘Eel’ To Cure Man’s Constipation
The “folk remedy” back- fired on him, however, when the eel slithered up into his colon and bit through it, en- tering his abdomen. Shock- ingly, the eel was still alive when it was surgically re- moved. The surgeon said the man could have died from bacteria in the large intestine migrating into the abdominal cavity.
Afterward, Elash apolo- gized, and Hoskins respond- ed, “I know. It’s all right. It’s a minor misdemeanor. Do you want to die over a minor misdemeanor?”
Australian Olympic kay- aker Jess Fox, 27, showed her MacGyver chops in Tokyo on July 27, using an Olympics-issued condom to repair her kayak before win- ning bronze and gold med- als in different events. CTV News reported that Fox used the condom to hold in place a carbon mixture that is ap- plied to the tip of the kayak.
On July 24, Baluchi washed ashore in Flagler County, Florida, inside a bubble-like vessel, which he hoped to use to run (sort of like a hamster in a wheel) up the East Coast. He told sheriff’s deputies that he had encountered “complica- tions” that brought him back to shore.

Reza Baluchi of central Florida didn’t get very far in his effort to walk on water from St. Augustine to New York City, Fox News report- ed.
Stephan Elash, 24, of Campbell, Ohio, was pulled over by a state trooper on July 3 for speeding, WKBN-TV reported. In a panic, Elash put a baggie of marijuana in his mouth and tried to swallow it — but he choked. Trooper Charles Hoskins used the Heimlich maneuver to force the bag out of Elash’s throat, likely saving his life.
