The WTF? Thread

Was that when they were still expecting a German victory?

Censorship meant that a lot of the atrocities weren't known about until after the war, but that's still horrific reading.

It looks to have originally appeared in 1942, but the third edition pictured was dated January 1944, which is a bit late for that.

That seems quite low. I was under the impression that every junior doctor had a story about a patient who had somehow fallen on an object and been anally penetrated by it.

The cost in the headline doesn't account for those instances where people have stuck deliberately selected items up their bum.

Very good by Southport Zeb there!

Part of my family are playing a party/boardgame that involves guessing accents. I don't see how this isn't a recipe for casual racism.

Looking quickly for copies of his work, the book is going for more than USD 550 and a run of the magazine for nearly USD 700.

He’d be useless as an actual knight.
