Drug out teen ripped his scrotum off
A legal drug known as Mephedrone led one teen to rip off his own scrotum.
The teen hallucinated for 18 hours before he mutilated himself because he believed centipedes were crawling over his body and biting him.
Cops warned people to stay away from the drug Mephedrone which is sold legally on the internet as plant fertilizer.
Its chemical formula is one molecule different to ecstasy and as such dealers are claiming is not a controlled substance.

A bell ringer told police she was approached about 6:25 p.m. by a scruffy-looking man who grabbed the chain of the kettle, struggled with her, then pushed her and pulled the kettle away from her.
Maumee Police Sgt. David Tullis said "the robber placed the kettle and tripod in the back of a pickup truck after telling her he couldn't stand her “or her bell ringing. I hate Christmas.”

Tiny Gecko Found Inside Chicken Egg

YES IT'S A CHICKEN EGG
Cook finds gecko in chook egg
Dr Peter Beaumont, 60, was cooking Thai fishcakes for dinner when he found a fully formed gecko inside an egg shell. He believes the discovery may be a world first and may help solve a food poisoning puzzle.
"I was cracking the eggs into a pan when I noticed one of them was all cloudy.
"I looked at the shell and saw a tiny gecko.''
Dr Beaumont said the lizard had not got into the shell after he had discarded it because the reptile was embedded between the inner-shell and the egg's membrane.
He said the gecko may have crawled into the chicken to feast on an embryo -- and got stuck.
