NEW DELHI

A woman died in a Calcutta hospital after ants ate one of her eyes as she was recovering from a cornea operation, media reports said Tuesday.

Gauri Chakraborty, 55, had complained of terrible pain after the operation at a state-run hospital, but a nurse told her it was normal and left her unattended, her son Soumen told the Press Trust of India news agency.

He said that when her bandage was removed the next day they found big black ants nibbling at her eye, PTI reported.

"She died a ghastly death. We don't even know the reason of her death," Amitabha Kar, Chakraborty's son-in-law told PTI.
Local Health Minister Surjya Kanta Mishra demanded a report of the incident from the hospital authorities. In response, hospital superintendent Sukumar Das said a five-member inquiry committee has been set up, PTI reported.

that's fucking gross.

If someone says that's metal, I kick his ass

I usually discount wacky stories like that (c'mon, even if ants ate your eyeball, you wouldn't die) but who knows.

I so wanted to believe the story of the midget wrestlers who fought the lion

AFRICAN TRIBE WORSHIPS SALMA HAYEK'S BREASTS!
By Mark Miller

The Mandinka tribe of Gambia, Africa, adheres to a religious practice completely unique to its people -- they worship actress Salma Hayek's breasts!

While most primitive societies tend to pray to animal or ancestral spirits, or to stars and planets as the Mandinkans once did, that all changed in 1995.

Mandinkan farmer Danjuma Kianga remembers, through an interpreter, the moment it happened.

"As a special treat, Chief Tuamanguluka arranged for a movie to be shown here for the first time ever. The movie was Desperado, starring the blessed Salma Hayek as Carolina, a beautiful woman who works for the local drug lord."

When Hayek first appeared on screen, the Mandinkans were blown away by the sight of the 36C-25-37 actress. "Everyone gasped -- men, women, and children," recalls Kianga. "Salma was breathtakingly exquisite. She gave off a force, a light, an energy that came right through the screen and entered our very souls."

After that screening, all any of the Mandinkans could talk about was Salma Hayek -- her looks, her spirit, her energy.

In the years since, the tribe has arranged screenings of every one of her films including, From Dusk 'Til Dawn, Fools Rush In, Dogma, Wild Wild West, Traffic, Spy Kids: 3D, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, and, especially, Frida, which was nominated for six Oscars including best actress for Hayek.

The Mandinkans found themselves especially affected by the sight of Hayek's breasts, which are often on full display in her movies.

"Salma's chest globes are magnificent forces of nature," gushes Kianga. "They are large and firm and perfectly formed. Whenever they appear on screen, it is almost as though they are calling to us: 'We're here. We're here for you. Take power from us. Let us be your energy force. Close your eyes and let us engulf you.' "

Around their necks, the Mandinkans wear stone and wood amulets fashioned as miniature replicas of Hayek's awe-inspiring milk wagons. Before undertaking any strenuous or dangerous task, going on any hunting expedition or praying for anything, they lick Hayek's breasts one hundred times for luck.

One of the villages has even constructed a giant 37-foot high scale replica of Hayek's sweater puppets. The breasts themselves are formed of rare black obsidian stone, and the nipples are solid gold.

Villagers form a large circle around the statue, hold hands, and dance themselves into a frenzy while chanting the following:

Oh glorious funbags of Salma, Fertilize our fields, protect us, and bring us luck.
Especially we ask for sexual potency from the
Life-changing, awe-inspiring twin peaks of Salma.
Suckle us with your magical orbs,
Squeeze our faces between those luscious flesh mounds, Our strength, hope and joy derive from the wondrous bazongas of Hayek!

Gahiji Ngozi, a 22-year-old craftsman, speaks for the entire Mandinkan tribe when he says, "Worshipping Salma Hayek's breasts has added meaning, direction and wonder to my life."

I'm not sure actually. When an ant eat your eye, there's a pretty good chance of infection that will directly go to the brain (eyes are the fastest way to get to the brain) and even worse, after eating the eye, maybe the ant was still hungry and started to eat the brain:S And your brain doesn't feel anything, so she wouldn't even know

Salma's chest globes

EDIT: I worshipped her before them.

Ants damage patient’s eye in hospital, relatives see red
Suchetana Haldar

Kolkata, November 14: ANTS damaged an eye of a 55-year-old diabetic patient at the government run Sambhunath Pandit Hospital (SPH) in Kolkata on Sunday. The relatives of the patient, Gauri Rani Chakrabarty, saw a cluster of red ants on her left eyelid. They complained that Gauri had a hole at the corner of her eye.

Gauri’s son raised an alarm and complained to the hospital authorities about the negligence before lodging a complaint with the police at Bhawanipore Police Station.

But, the hospital staff says that the matter had been blown out of proportion and there was nothing serious. The Social Welfare Officer at SPH, Samir Roy, said: ‘‘Too much fuss is being made over a minor issue. I agree that her (Gauri’s) eye was attacked by a cluster of ants and there was a swelling on the affected eyelid. But it is not serious at all.’’

The hospital authorities have, however, set up a five-member enquiry committee to look into the matter. The committee has been given a three-day deadline to submit its report.

Gouri Rani, a diabetic since the last 15 years, was admitted to the Female Medicine Ward of SPH on November 7, after her blood sugar shot up. Presently, she’s in a semi-comatose state, after suffering a renal failure. ‘‘Her eyes have been bandaged to cover up the seriousness of the damage,’’ said Amitava Kar, son-in-law of Gouri Rani.

Her relatives alleged that the nurses on duty do not attend to the patients and routinely shirk responsibilities. ‘‘When I complained to the nurse about the ants, she snapped and said that it was not her job to clean ants,’’ said a relative Pintu Chakrabarty.

b‘‘When I complained to the nurse about the ants, she snapped and said that it was not her job to clean ants,’’

haha... now that is metal!

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

thats hilarious

 

[lizard]

somehow, I think if I saw ants eating my relative's eye, I just might see my way clear to brush the ants away myself.

sayin.

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

yeah. same. Or get a nurse to do it, if she has a problem with it, i'll kick her fucking ass. chick or no.

 

[Ellestin]

Not everyone equals the lizard's altruistic awesomeness

 

[lizard]

I'd see the ants and say, wtf?

maybe it's some hindu thing and they think if they kill an ant they'll come back in the next life as a bug or something. I mean let's face it, these people think swimming with turds in the Ganges is a holy experience.

 

[Ellestin]

Then again it was only his ant... hem, his aunt.

and here's an interesting story from the realms of our Scandinavian friends.


Hunting Season Opens for Mythical Creature
Nov 11, 12:35 AM (ET)
By KARL RITTER

STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) - A mythical monster, believed by some to have lived for hundreds of years in the murky depths of a Swedish lake, is now fair game for hunters - if they can find it. Authorities have agreed to lift its endangered species protection.

Hundreds of people claim to have spotted a large serpent-like creature in Lake Storsjon in the northwestern province of Jamtland, and in 1986 the regional council put it on a list of endangered animals.

But a government watchdog challenged the decision, saying such protection was hardly necessary for a creature whose existence has not been proven.

The regional council agreed to remove the listing this month, but declined to rule out that a monster lives in the 300-foot deep lake.

"It exists, inasmuch as it lives in the minds of people," the council's chief legal adviser Peter Lif said about the purported beast. "But I guess we'll have to agree that it cannot be proved scientifically, and then it should not be listed as an endangered species."

The so-called Storsjo monster was first mentioned in print in 1635. Hundreds of sightings have been reported since then. Some people describe the creature as a snakelike animal with a dog's head and fins on its neck. But no clear image of it has been captured on camera.

Storsjo monster aficionados said lifting the endangered species protection was a mistake, and appeared insulted by the decision.

"We are not fanatics," said Christer Berko, of the Storsjo monster association. "We see this as very interesting phenomenon that we unfortunately have not been able to document."

hehe... jamtland. One of my favourite zones in an old MMO i used to play. Now I know why they stuck giant worms in the lakes.

Hahahhaahah wtf. HER EYE WAS GETTING EATEN BY ANTS. I think that's pretty fucking serious
