British dwarf's penis gets stuck in vacuum cleaner Tuesday Aug 21 05:55 AEST A dwarf performer at the Edinburgh fringe festival had to be rushed to hospital after his penis got stuck to a vacuum cleaner during an act that went horribly awry.

Daniel Blackner, or "Captain Dan the Demon Dwarf", was due to perform at the Circus of Horrors at the festival known for its oddball, offbeat performances.

The main part of his act saw him appear on stage with a vacuum cleaner attached to his member through a special attachment.

The attachment broke before the performance and Blackner tried to fix it using extra-strong glue, but unfortunately only let it dry for 20 seconds instead of the 20 minutes required.

He then joined it directly to his organ. The end result? A solid attachment, laughter, mortification and ... hospitalisation.

"It was the most embarrassing moment of my life when I got wheeled into a packed A&E with a vacuum attached to me," Blackner said.

"I just wished the ground could swallow me up. Luckily, they saw me quickly so the embarrassment was short-lived."

While stories about dwarfs, penises and vacuum cleaners automatically elict that feeling of Urban Legend, and the fact that the link has expired put this story in question for me, the fact that the link takes you to a very reputable site convinced me to vote HM. Thanks for sending it, eddie

A Google news search for "Captain Dan the Demon Dwarf" led me to http://abc.net.au/news/stories/2007/08/21/2010380.htm so we have some verification. About all I can say is "Ouch!". Thanks, Eddie!
