So much for packing a, um, rod

It's a lesson he should have learned from Plaxico Burress -- but this was worse.

 

A 15-year-old Brooklyn boy shot himself in the penis Sunday after fumbling with a gun that had slid from his waistband, authorities said yesterday.

 


Holey....Um...Holey.....
Really can't say anything more than that, other than possibly my mother worried that my grandfather was going to do that to himself one time when he put his gun in his pants and searched our house. Of course only my mom....

Biscuits injuring millions of Britons

Monday, September 7, 2009

 

Oh crumbs – it seems up to half of all Britons have been injured... by a humble biscuit.

Flying fragments and daredevil dunking in scalding tea have all led to millions suffering at the hands of their favourite snack, according to fun research.

 

Among the more unusual – and daft – injuries are a man who poked himself in the eye with a biscuit and people who have fallen off chairs while reaching for a tea-time treat.

 

One biscuit in particular was ruled more dangerous than the rest – the custard cream, which received a risk rating of 5.63 by research company Mindlab using the newly invented Biscuit Injury Threat Evaluation (Bite).

 

This compares with just 1.16 for the safe Jaffa Cake.

 

(and Pete says: NOTE!  I think I like the second story better, if only for the Biscuit Injury Threat Evaluation ratings.)

Well, that's how the cookie doesn't crumble I guess....
Concrete Cannolis Batman!
