This was an IRC quote from bash.org. I haven't went looking for the original news story (if there is one). Anyone know more?

<Murielle> this just in from ABC Radio - a man went to defend himself when he heard a noise, stuck a .22 caliber pistol in his shorts.. accidently pulled the hammer back... felt this stinging sensation, and a trickle of blood down his leg....

<Murielle> he had performed a self-orchectomy

<Murielle>

<Noelle> lol

<Charron> hmm, so shooting your testes off "stings"?

<Murielle> apparently

<StephanieNYC> uhhhh

<StephanieNYC> a stinging sensation?

<StephanieNYC> this makes for a new definition to the term "numb nuts"

but isn't this another one that should be filed under "don't try this at home"? but man that would be tough explaining to the ER Doc
