Shrunken Penises!
While a man with superhumanly large balls might hope to get certain bragging rights, Africa won't let you off so easily. According to Agence France Presse, the Senegalese capital of Dakkar recently erupted in a frenzy of lynchings - mainly of Nigerians who had come to Senegal looking for work.
The foreigners' crimes? Possessing wizard-like powers of physical dissolution. Specifically, one touch from these weird magicians was enough to make a man's penis
shrink down to nothing! While a Dakkar psychologist attributed the panic to fear of the Modern World in all its complexity, the lynch mobs were worried about something a lot closer to home!
Fear factor = 3 (The penis-shrinkage fear can safely be consigned to the basement of superstition, but fear of lynching is real enough to keep me out of Senegal). Probability of truth = 39.3% (AFP is among the world's most reliable news organizations, but penis-shrinking was one of those suspiciously short-lived stories that make you go "hmmm." There was no followup, and every other news organization that covered the story quoted AFP as its only source).
