Aug 6 2008Hail Explodes Out Of Man's Toilet While In Use
Austrian man Martin Bierbauer was minding his own business, you know, getting his crap on, possibly flipping through a magazine or dirty joke book, when KA-BOOM! -- he was ass-blasted off the toilet by a barrage of hailstones from the shitty depths.
"I heard the pipes rumbling a bit, and suddenly hailstones the size of golf balls started exploding out of the toilet like it was a popcorn machine. There was an avalanche of ice that quickly filled the toilet, then the entire flat, and eventually the entire building. I ran down the stairs with the hailstones following me, and other residents did the same."
The incident at the block of flats in Eisenstadt, the capital of the province of Burgenland, was caused by hailstones flooding into a local drain during a torrential downpour, which became blocked.Local council spokesman Wolfgang Leinner said: "The pressure was too great, the hailstones had to go somewhere and they came out through the toilets it seems."
Haily shit.
Toilet rained giant hailstones to fill building [austriantimes]
Thanks to Kevin, who was using the john once when a Gremlin reached up and grabbed his balls.

I can imagine the 911 call. "Send EMS quick! I have about 50 balls of ice up my ass and they aren't melting fast enough"

Awesome incident and you guys said it so well i nthe comments!
But then that one FAKE claimer made me think...hmm, the city is called Icecity, and the guy sitting o nthe crapper was señor Beerbuilder. That's a friggin unusual name, if you ask me...
Anyway, it's not fake, even the Austrian newspapers had it in!

20. bernard fleming - August 7, 2008 9:47 AM
So this guy, with wicked bad skidmarks - he never wiped, right, and he also didn't wash his hands - asks to borrow your cell phone to make a 911 call. What do you say?
21. Momboelitist - August 7, 2008 12:56 PM
I just called 911 and they're out to lunch right now.
22. Gingersnapz - August 7, 2008 1:58 PM
Wow. I guess the toilet just got tired of being shit in all the time, so it decided to fight back.
23. selkai - August 7, 2008 2:29 PM
well guys.. i have to dissappoint you... eisenstadt acuallly means ironcity. eisstadt would be ice-city.
but then again, did anybody of you notice the guy's name? bierbauer? that's beer-farmer.

I, for one, welcome our ball-grabbing gremlin overlords.
Was there any cupping?

Funny, but impossible, now the hell did the hail get in the sewer system to begin with?
