Man Sends Bomb To Doctor After Penis-Enlargement Surgery
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.

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.

1. What was that about penis envy I remember studying in pysch class?
I don't think it had anything to do with bombs and enlargements procedures though....

2. How embarassing for him!
"Brett R. Steidler, 25, of Reamstown, Pa., has a very small penis."

3. What did he mail it in? A 50 foot cube container?
What's all this Weapons of Mass Destruction bullshit? It's a letterbomb!
