Dwarf gets penis glued to vacuum cleaner
{{date|August 22, 2007}}

A British dwarf who was performing at the '[[w:Edinburgh Festival|Edinburgh Festival]]' found his penis glued to a vacuum cleaner while preparing for a live show.

Daniel Blackner, known as "Captain Dan the Demon Dwarf" performed at the ''Circus of Horrors'', known for its oddball and offbeat performances. As part of the show, the dwarf pulls a [[w:Numatic International Limited|Henry vacuum cleaner]] using a special attachment, across the show attached to his penis. However, the vacuum cleaner was broken before a performance and performer Blackner placed extra-strong glue on the attachment to fix it, neglecting to wait the entire 20 minutes required for the glue to dry, which resulted in his penis becoming glued to the vacuum cleaner.

After being rushed to the A&E department of [[w:The Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh|Edinburgh Royal Infirmary]], Blackner was freed after an hour and remarked that: "It was the most embarrassing moment of my life when I got wheeled into a packed A&E with a vacuum attached to me. I just wished the ground could swallow me up. Luckily, they saw me quickly so the embarrassment was short lived."

Hospital sources confirmed that they treated the performer, but a spokesman for the Royal Infirmary said he could not comment on individual cases.
