Suicidal man saved after police give him a wedgie

The wedgie has for a long time been the prank of choice for schoolyard bullies - but it was recently use das a life saving technique by the LAPD. Wait, what?

Officers had been called out to reports of a distraught man who was planning to kill himself by jumping off the 13th floor of an apartment building.

And when they got there, the man - who was upset about splitting up with his girlfriend - was still standing on the ledge and threatening to throw himself onto the ground below.

After talking to him for a couple of minutes, officers made their move and swiftly grabbed the would-be jumper, who ended up dangling over the side of the building, as this video shows.

When he then proceeded to bite the cops, their grip slipped and one officer ended up clinging onto his underwear to prevent him from falling... and right there the life-saving wedgie was born.

The cops eventually managed to handcuff the man to a railing, meaning that even if he did get free, the worst that would happen was that he'd end up with one arm longer than the other.

Firefighters soon arrived at the scene and cut the railings to remove the man who was taken to hospital... probably to have his underwear surgically removed. Something tells us this display isn't going to help the dude win his girlfriend back...

Meet the 98-year-old only woman with a 10th Dan Judo black belt

There are only four people in the world that have tenth Dan in Judo. Three of them are men, and live in Japan. One of them is a woman, and lives in the USA. Her name is Keiko Fukuda, and yes, she is a badass.

A 98-year-old badass. That's right, she's 98 years old and she could still kick our asses. Hard.

It's been a long time coming for Fukuda, battling against gender discrimination in the world of Judo for all her life, seeing dozens of male martial artists get higher ranks than her despite her superior skill.

Still teaching in Noe Valley, San Francisco, Judo USA finally announced her promotion to coincide with Fukuda's annual International Kata Championship at San Francisco City College.

"The time was right," said one board member. Fukuda's reaction? "All my life, this has been my dream."

Dang it, now we're welling up. It might be the sheer awesomeness of it all, or it could be the inspirational video footage we have for you below, or some this piece of manly grit that's just got in our eye. We're just not sure really. Sniff.
