LONDON (Reuters) - A Welsh rugby fan cut off his own testicles to celebrate Wales beating England at rugby, the Daily Mirror reported Tuesday.



Geoff Huish, 26, was so convinced England would win Saturday's match he told fellow drinkers at a social club, "If Wales win I'll cut my balls off," the paper said.

Friends at the club in Caerphilly, south Wales, thought he was joking.

But after the game Huish went home, severed his testicles with a knife, and walked 200 yards back to the bar with the testicles to show the shocked drinkers what he had done.

Huish was taken to hospital where he remained in serious condition, the paper said.

Wales's 11-9 victory over England at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff was their first home win over England in 12 years.

At least that level of stupiditiy won't be passed on to the next generation.

Well, that sure proves the power of sacrifice ;)

I feel a Darwin award coming on....

One does wonder how someone with that level of commitment, surpassed only by his level of stupidity, ever managed to make to an age when he could sit in a bar and get drunk.

I hope the bloke does not die (obviously) but I think he ought to be given a 'mention in dispatches'.

Remember, Darwins are awarded for removing yourself from the gene pool

Death and/or castration :)

What I don't get is that he did this to celebrate! I mean, if they lost, that's a lil' more understandable.

I've heard people say "I'd give my left nut for (insert object of desire here)", but this guy's taking it at least one nut too far.

thas just nasty.

Good point re gene pool! I must be getting slow in the head in my old age! DOH!

That's just an excuse to get a sex change operation.

That's... not logic. I would say he was a real fan, if he didn't had any hope in his team's chances.

What the hell would he do if his team lost?

Actually, the guy had a history of mental problems.
