When the United States toppled the dastardly Soviet Union hockey team to secure the gold medal in the 1980 Winter Olympic games, announcer Al Michaels uttered the phrase, “Do you believe in miracles?” The US victory was a moment many never thought they would see and a moment they wouldn’t soon forget. Coming out of a pandemic, we thought we had seen as many medical miracles as we were going to see in this lifetime. Then, a man broke his penis vertically. We once again believe in miracles.
Per Gizmodo, “A broken penis, or penile fracture, is more accurately described as a tear starting from the tunica albuginea, the protective layer surrounding the erectile tissue that pump blood to the penis. The reason why it feels like a broken bone is that most injuries happen during sex, when a fully erect penis is bent too far and/or with too much force and buckles under the pressure, which then causes blood in the penis to leak out. When that happens, it’s almost always accompanied by a loud popping sound along with quickly formed bruising and swelling, again much like a broken bone.”
Doctors say the man’s private parts could look “noticeably different in presentation”, He just needs to be thankful that he still has it attached to his body.

All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of these Official Rules, or the rights and obligations of entrant and Station in connection with the Contest, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the state in which the Station is located, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules (whether of the state in which the Station is located or any other jurisdiction), which would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the state in which the Station is located.

The Texas A&M Transportation Institute has shaken up the traffic game. For the first time in nearly 40 years, the Los Angeles area is no longer recognized as having the worst traffic in the country. That honor now belongs to New York City. The top five worst cities for traffic are as follows:
New York-Newark
2. Boston
3. Houston
4. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim
5. San Francisco-Oakland
Chicago pride, baby! We’ll take our traffic being slightly less awful than New York’s as a major win.
Ocala, Florida is looking for a new fire chief after they let their leader go partially over the actions of his wife. The video below shows the former Ocala Fire Chief’s wife losing it at an Outback Steakhouse and resisting law enforcement. According to a termination of employment letter issued by Assistant City Manager Ken Whitehead, Alexander was fired for his alleged “unprofessional conduct on several occasions” and a general erosion of “trust in the organization by creating a counter-productive and uncomfortable work environment for City staff.” This timing seems awfully suspicious given he was served his release right after this video was released.

3,000 people within a 10-mile radius of a fire in Morris are still unable to return home as the situation remains unstable. The fire began raging on Tuesday and now that the remnants of lithium batteries have been found, families are on edge about when they could return home.

Parenting is not an easy game, but some are better at it than others. There’s a chance that as a child, your parents did at least one of these things that is now causing you tremendous psychological harm. HuffPost Parents spoke with several experts who shared some things that may seem minor, but are very damning to a child’s development. Here’s what they listed:
“It’s not a big deal” during a child’s meltdown.
“You never” or “You always do XYZ.” as a critique on a child’s behavioral patterns.
“You make me sad when you do that.” is a cheap way of saying, “I’m not mad, I’m disappointed.”
“You should know better.” Some of us can barely tie our shoes and we pay rent, know child “knows better”.
“Just let me do it.” is a good way to crush a kid’s dreams.
“You’re a [insert label here].” This is just mean.
The good news is that HuffPost Parents provided us with a list of solutions to these phrases, all of which can be found here.
