This is great!
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/7091904.stm Man hurt using gun to change tyre A US man has injured himself in both legs after attempting to loosen a stiff wheel-nut by blasting it with his gun. The 66-year-old man from Washington state was repairing his car outside his home when the accident took place Shooting at the wheel from arm's length with his 12-gauge shotgun, he was peppered with buckshot and debris. The man - who police say was on his own and not intoxicated - was taken to hospital with severe, but not life-threatening, injuries. The man, from South Kitsap, 10 miles (16km) southwest of Seattle, had been repairing his Lincoln Continental for two weeks, according to the police, and had removed all but one of the nuts on the right rear wheel. Frustrated by the one remaining nut which refused to budge, he resorted to fire power in an effort to shift it. "He's bound and determined to get that lug nut off," said Deputy Scott Wilson, a spokesman from the sheriff's office. He sustained injuries from his feet to the middle of his abdomen, with some pellets reaching as high as his chin, police said. |

Wrong tool for the job. It sounds like he didn't even use a good kind of ammo to try the shotgun approach. A slug might have worked, or at least a low pellets/oz shot. Of course, a tire iron and a sledge hammer would have been better or, failing that, a cutting torch. |

My article was vastly superior. Mandatory group-building exercise with doodling activities and Britney spears songs leading to a massive brawl, Winnie The Pooh Bracelet embezzlement scam leading to mass sackings, a demoralized workforce prone to violence and recriminative acrimony. In fact, I declare my article 'The Philochat Article Of The Week.' It's freaking hilarious.

It probably sounds bizarre to you, Mock, but we just call it "Scotland". |

Lol - I was JUST coming here to post that same story myself, Henry. Mock, I did enjoy yours as well. However this story includes that special kind of stupidity that leads to serious injury. Stupid people shouldn't be allowed guns.

A corporate 'morale boosting exercise' that employs Britney Spears songs... The financial ruin and professional demise of a hundred or so employees through the agency of Winnie The Pooh merchandise... In contrast we have a short-tempered crotchety pensioner with a few bullet fragments in his legs. |

Britney Spears was bound to cause friction. They should have played "Blood on the dancefloor" though. |

This is ridiculous. He was placed on a sex offender registry for rubbing his engorged genitals over his bike in the privacy of his own 'room'? Why was he even charged? I'm not following. |

I've done far weirder things, I'm sure - but you presume he knew that the cleaners were entering the room. Still, had he been having sex with a human being, you'd assume they would have simply retreated. Seems a little unfair. If you were a cleaner entering a room and caught someone masturbating, you'd back out and make your excuses, unless you felt that person was seeking to be watched and had manufactured the embarrassing situation. In that case, there probably is a case to be made. I feel sorry for the bike. Reputation and saddle tarnished forever. |

I'm with Mock on this - he was in his own room, so what? If he was masturbating, that would have been embarassing, but considered normal... so it would never have got to court. Because he was using a bike to get off, the police were called? Absolutely crazy, this is not a criminal matter. If anything, his right to privacy has been violated. If only he'd put a "do not disturb" sign on the door. |

Here's one: Peter Pan finds his Tinker Bell I remember that guy. He was a "net celebrity" in the mid-to-late 90's, when people were putting up all sorts of awful websites. So kitschy it's funny. Another one was Robbie's Doris Day Page. Unfortunately, it looks as though the site has been updated, but the original had the usual garish colors, flashing GIFs, and bad MIDI music. Really bad MIDI music. "Que Sera Sera" tinkling in a loop. It pretty much defined bad web design for years. |

Awesome - there's a great moral in this tale. Thieves run off with man's holy leg BBC: Police in southern India are hunting for two men who attacked a Hindu holy man, cut off his right leg and then made off with it. The 80-year-old holy man, Yanadi Kondaiah, claimed to have healing powers in the leg. He is now recovering from his ordeal in hospital in the city of Tirupati in the state of Andhra Pradesh. Local people believed they could be healed of spiritual and physical problems if they touched his leg. They also believed in Mr Kondaiah's predictions of the future. ------- Ha ha, emperor's new leg, etc etc. |

Now, there's a holy man. I wouldn't trust a messiah who didn't like to tie one on. |
