BS: Screaming Man Appears in Testicle Scan

They call it the face of testicular pain.

Doctors Gregory Roberts and Naji Touma at Queen's University in Kingston, Ont., have spotted what looks like the face of a screaming man in an ultrasound of a testicular tumour.

The startling image jumped out at them while scrolling through scans of a 45-year-old patient suffering from severe testicular pain.

The picture went viral after it was published in the journal Urology and it's been compared to sightings of the Virgin Mary on toast or grilled cheese sandwiches.

In the journal, the doctors say they debated "whether the image could have been a sign from a deity" -- notably the Egyptian god of virility -- but quickly dismiss it as a coincidence.

In the end, the patient decided to have the testicle removed and the tumour turned out to be benign.

They found some faces in the deli, too. This IS getting spooky.

So? I just turned a wooden bowl, and found the head of a bird in a grain pattern in the bottom. My wife says it looks exactly like the face of a baby owl. 'Recognizable' patterns and images are everywhere.

That image doesn't look like a screaming man to me. It looks more like a man looking up at someone about to jump from a 12th froor balcony.

I was thinking of posting this nutty image but then I thought someone would surely beat me to it.

Maybe this image would make a great advertising logo for a new "Peanut Man" campaign.

T'was on November third I saw
The picture of a trappED man
With signs of horror on his face
For he was doomed to fall from grace
And never more be scratched by hand

There is a vas deferens between a testicle and a screaming man.

Jeri: groan

The 'spookiest' image of this kind that I have seen was on the face of a glacier several years ago. It looked precisely like an Eskimo man wearing a seal gut parka. His expression was/is weary, and perhaps, dead. I went back two weeks later and it was long gone, wiped off by glacier calving.

I have a photo of it. I labeled it 'Spirit of South Sawyer.' I still haven't quite come to terms with it.

Jeri-

Excellent point!

Perhaps we could work up some new verses from this old chestnut:

Now they were large balls,
Balls as heavy as lead;
With a dextrous twist of his muscular wrist
He could sling them right over his head,
For they were large balls --
Balls as heavy as lead.

T'was on November fourth I heard
The voice of yon said trappED man
Who danglED like he was lost
But never once did he accost
The surgeon who disLODGed him

T'was on November fifth I felt
The pain of parting on the morrow
When RIPPed from the scrotal sac
I'll leave my partner hanging back
In loneliness and sorrow

I noticed just the other day that a large turd had a face in it that looked like the old Quaker oats guy! That was completely natural (so to speak) and I just flushed the whole thing................

T'was on November sixth I vow
A shiver ran-ned up my spine
It tumb-bled-down and there it sat
A testicule without its wrap
Once willing, now, his health declined

And now to the moral of this tale,
After the ball is o'er, we must still prevail!
Let us not mourn or be bereft,
But raise a glass to the one that's left.

Cheerily,

T'was on November third I saw
The picture of a TRAP-ed man
With signs of horror on his face
For he was doomed to fall from grace
And never more be scratched by hand

T'was on November fourth I felt
The pain of parting on the morrow
When RIPped from the scrotal sac
I'll leave my partner hanging back
In loneliness and sorrow

[Music interlude: bodhran and border pipes imitating a strangulated hernia]

T'was on November fifth I heard
The voice of yon said TRAPped man
Who dangle-ed like he was lost
And never once did he accost
The surgeon who dis-LODGE-ed him

T'was on November sixth I vow
A shiver ran-ned up my spine
It tumb-bled-down and there it sat
A testicule without its wrap
Once willing, now, his health declined

[Silent pause]

And now to the moral of this tale,
After the ball is o'er, we must still prevail!
Let us not mourn or be bereft,
But raise a glass to the one that's left.

The End

999-

Excellent!

Now, the surgeon was head to say "Is this the right ball?"

"No," replied the nurse, "It's the one on the left."

So hopefully they left the right one in...
