And for our next trick....do-it-your brain surgery

Reno man taken to hospital after self-castration procedure

The man obviously needs some sort of counseling.

  • Reno police Lt. Ron Donnelly

Yes, I realize that it’s only the third week of January, but it would appear that we already have our first candidate for Understatement of the Year. Lt. Donnelly moves right to the head of the line, and I have a feeling he’s going to be there for awhile.

A 50-year-old Reno man told authorities he castrated himself to lower his libido and learned of the procedure on the Internet, police said.

Washoe Medical Center officials cited privacy issues on why they could not release any information on the man.

About 1:30 a.m. Monday, police said the man called 911 and asked for help because he could not stop the bleeding from a self-castration operation.

Reno police and medics responded to the manís home near Brinkby Avenue and Robinhood Drive, and he was taken by ambulance to the hospital.

Hospital officials said the man successfully castrated himself, police reported. No further information was available.

Um…what other information could we possibly want? I think we’ve pretty much covered all of the important points.

Ain’t it amazing what you can learn on the Internet??
