PHILADELPHIA -- A man pleaded guilty to weapons of mass destruction charges for sending a mail bomb to a Chicago surgeon he said botched his penile enlargement surgery, though his attorney questioned whether the charges fit the offense.
Brett R. Steidler, 25, of Reamstown, Pa., mailed the explosive device in February 2005 because he was "extremely unhappy with the results" of the $8,000 surgery, Assistant U.S. Attorney Jennifer Arbittier Williams said in court filings.
Reamstown is in Lancaster County.
But Steidler alerted authorities before the bomb arrived and it was retrieved from the mail and disarmed.
His attorney, Luis A. Ortiz, said Steidler is mentally ill and noted the difference between the roughly 2-year sentence for mailing a letter bomb and the 4- to 8-year sentence for using a weapon of mass destruction.
"You shouldn't group this guy with people who drive truck loads of explosives to buildings or gather anthrax or do things for political reasons," Ortiz said.
Sentencing is scheduled July 7 before U.S. District Judge Lawrence F. Stengel.
Why bother?
$8,000 per 1/4" ??
I'm a millionaire and didn't even know it.
Guys are funny about their wangs. If you ever want to make some quick cash market a penis-enlargement product of some kind.

Irony ping
The one pictured below is considered "the Cadillac" of implants. There are others, but this is the ultimate. It works by sqeezing the bulb in the lower abdomen. It forces fluid into the rods, resulting in an erection. The release valve is in the scrotum.
I knew a patient once who had one put in. A week later he was back in the hospital to have it removed. I asked his urologist if was infected. He told me no, but his wife wouldn't let him in the house with it....
Is this covered under the Penal Code?
Considering your #20, I'm not surprised at your name.
Now that I consider it, I'm not surprised at mine.....never occurred to me before....I seem to have played a joke on myself w/o being aware of it.

And not all goes well with these implants......
After my Dad had surgery to remove his cancerous prostate, his implant eroded through his, um, well, the end of his maleness. It had to be removed in an emergency surgery. Accept what you have, and be happy.
Yeah, but that break it the middle would be a killer.
Tell me, did the doctor sneeze when he was 'working' on him?
