Iranian man who didn't wash for half a century dies at 94,  after getting a  bath


A hermit dubbed by media as "the world's dirtiest man" has died at the age of 94, just months after having his first wash in decades.

Amou Haji had refused to use soap and water for more than half a century, fearing it would make him sick.

The Iranian, who lived in the southern province of Fars, had avoided previous attempts by villagers to get him clean.

But, local media say, Amou Haji finally succumbed to pressure and washed a few months ago.

According to Iran's IRNA news agency, he became ill shortly afterwards and died on Sunday.

I'm covered in bees!

Doing some local news research on a company, and came across this story...thought I'd share. Warning to the ladies, and some guys i suspect.


Some people will go to great lengths for fashion, but one woman's choice of shorts wound up sending her to the hospital, and she shared her story on TikTok.

Her name is Sam and in her video, the 25-year-old North Carolina native explained how she chose to wear tight jean shorts on a full-day date with a guy she recently met. She wrote on the clip that she had "a wedgie for 8 hours," but she didn't think much of it until the next day, when she woke up with a really sore butt.

As days went on, she felt more and more sick and eventually went to a doctor, who gave her antibiotics for a possible skin infection on her rear. It didn't help and the next day, she felt so bad that she couldn't walk because of a stabbing pain in her butt. She went to the ER, where she is admitted into the ICU with what doctors diagnosed as a bacterial skin infection called cellulitis that led to life-threatening septic shock.

During her week in the ICU, she was told she might need the infected part of her butt cut off, but thankfully it didn't come to that, though she did have to show her tush to a bunch of physicians.

lol A cannon exploded, triggering a chain of events that ultimately caused the murder of a man who happened to be at a neighbor's baby shower. Or something.

Yeah, I read about that.  The headlines are almost like a randomized assortment of nouns and verbs - like a story written after playing a round of Mad Libs.  Apparently those "celebratory cannons" are pretty common at "gender-reveal" baby showers though.    Alrighty then....

Yesterday, RP's kaupmees shared this link to Radio Free Europe's "The Pompeo Challenge," where you try to guess which country is Ukraine... I took the quiz and missed two, Romania and Turkmenistan. So I took it again to see if I learned anything and missed Turkmenistan again. I said "I guess I don't know squat about Turkmenistan" and went and looked for some videos and the wiki page etc.
 

 
So fast forward to today, and I'm up ski patrolling and get a call about someone on the beginner hill who's injured and it's an international student at the local college from... Turkmenistan.

And when I told Justine, she says "oh that's Galena; she's wearing ski pants we gave her."
