Did you know man sued because doctor stapled a man's rectum shut?

Arguments began Monday in a federal lawsuit alleging that a Maryland doctor stapled a man's rectum shut during an operation, rendering him unable to move his bowels for 17 days, the Baltimore Examiner reported.
Ronald Watkins, 64, of West Virginia, has accused Dr. Manuel Casiano, a doctor in Frederick County, Maryland for botching a September 2004 surgery that left him with permanent bowel problems, according to the report.
But an attorney representing Casiano told jurors the doctor did not staple Watkins' buttocks shut.
Attorney Conrad Varner said Watkins’ bowels became “swollen shut” because of medical problems — not because of stapling and that his two-pack-a-day smoking habit added to his bowel problems, the Examiner reported.
Watkins' attorney, Julia Lodowski argued that the medical error was in fact caused by Casiano and has led Watkins to experience continual “rectal discharge," which requires him to wipe himself between 12 and 15 times a day.
Lodowski said Watkins also needed four “unnecessary surgeries” because of the alleged mistake.

Did you know what actor hold the record for most nominations without ever winning an Oscar in a competitive category?

Peter O'Toole
had eight acting nominations without ever winning an Oscar, for:

O'Toole's nomination	Year	Winner
Lawrence of Arabia	1962	Gregory Peck for To Kill a Mockingbird
Becket	1964	Rex Harrison in My Fair Lady
The Lion in Winter	1968	Cliff Robertson in Charly

O'Toole did win an honorary Oscar in 2002 that was inscribed
"Whose remarkable talents have provided cinema history
with some of its most memorable characters." He originally intended
to turn it down feeling that the lifetime award signaled the end
of his career. He wrote the Academy a letter stating that he was
"still in the game" and would like more time to "win the lovely bugger outright."
It was only after the Academy informed him that they
were bestowing the award on him whether he came to collect it or not that he relented.
