As a rule, I don't like to mention stuff that's too widely reported. It looks now like the Cello Scrotum caper might be such a story. Nonetheless, I have another rule that requires me to report all news involving the search term SCROT*. Hence, a painful condition reported 35 yrs ago in the British Medical Journal, involving damage to the jewel area of male cellists, has just now been revealed as a hoax. (Bonus story: Seven people in Tsuruoka, Japan, were hospitalized after eating improperly prepared fugu [blowfish] balls.) BBC News /// Australian Associated Press via Herald Sun (Melbourne)

fish balls The wife just asked me a week ago if I wanted fish balls for lunch! What a coincidence! NOT!
cello scrotum These people should be held up as examples of really great hoaxers. Bravo!
Of course common sense would have debunked this farce right away. The cello is a woman's instrument and any guy who played it professionally would have had to be neutered! Really!

The cello is NOT a women's instrument. I dated a cellist in college, and let me tell you, there were NO problems anywhere AND he knew how to work his fingers 😉

My friends boyfriend made her laugh so hard afterwards his, umm, baby batter, came out her nose. She said it stung like a bitch so I don't want to contemplate what it feels like to get it in your eye.

I think safety goggles would ruin the mood, don't you?

But a scuba mask might enhance the whole fantasy. Hmmm. Yeah, a scuba mask. I'll supply the snorkle.
