Let's beat constipation

Wow - now I have seen everything. On occasion I check out various news sources that basically create an aggregate of stories in one place to save me from having to go to a bunch of different sites to see what's going on in the world (e.g. http://www.drudgereport.com). One of my favorite sites that I subscribe to is NEWS of the WEIRD (http://www.newsoftheweird.com/) where the motto is, "Proof that true stories are weirder than made-up stories." Proof of this is in the below summation from a News article that ran, not only on CNN but on AP, BBC, and most of the major outlets.

* Dozens of spas operate in Russia's Caucasus Mountains region, exploiting the mineral springs in the area, and apparently colonic treatment is a specialty. In fact, in June, the Mashuk-Akva Term spa in Zheleznovodsk unveiled a large monument to the enema (an 800-lb. brass syringe bulb held aloft by three angels). "Let's beat constipation," read one banner. Said the sculptor, "This device is eternal; it will never change. We could promote this brand, turn it into a franchise with souvenirs and awards for medical doctors." [CNN-AP, 6-19-08]
