hah, trust science to spoil the stupidity.
It was far more fun hoping it would be true.

Link doesn't seem to work with Netscape. Not sure which fascinating story you are referring to.

Excerpt from the link:

IN a bizarre incident, a Bulawayo man allegedly developed a female genital organ on the right side of his face stretching up to the chest in what is suspected to be a case of witchcraft.


The man was the talk of the Egodini commuter omnibus terminus in the city on Monday where many people who spotted him as he was boarding a omnibus to Magwegwe West suburb on Sunday could not believe what they had seen.


The man was yesterday admitted at Mpilo Central Hospital where doctors said he had a "cancerous tumor", the Chronicle newspaper reported.



The one-liners that come to mind are unstoppable.

"Who was that tumour I saw on your face last night?"

"That was no tumour -- that was my wife!!"

coulda been worse....he could have developed a tumor that looked like the face of Jesus, and been besieged by worshippers that wuoldn't allow him to have it treated.

you note that most of the details of the article dealt with the superstition that it was punishment for some transgression. We are barely BEGINNING to emerge from the dark ages, folks.

Obviously our national press corps is third-world, under-trained, incompetent and haunted by superstitions of its own which make it impossible for it to see and report legitimate and interesting news!!:D

Thank God it wasn't a breast-- he'd have licked himself to death or died trying.

That is the most amazing web site. I didn't check out the one about the goblins. But it certainly did look interesting. One never reads about goblins in the Guardian.
