Gunman crashes party, gets hugs
It started about midnight on June 16 when a group of friends was finishing a dinner of marinated steaks and jumbo shrimp on the back patio of a District of Columbia home. That's when a hooded man slid through an open gate and pointed a handgun at the head of a 14-year-old girl.
"Give me your money, or I'll start shooting," he said, according to D.C. police and witnesses.
Everyone froze, including the girl's parents. Then one guest spoke.
"We were just finishing dinner," Cristina "Cha Cha" Rowan, 43, told the man. "Why don't you have a glass of wine with us?"
The intruder had a sip of their Chateau Malescot St-Exupery and said, "Damn, that's good wine."
The girl's father, Michael Rabdau, 51, told the intruder to take the whole glass, and Rowan offered him the whole bottle.
The robber, with his hood down, took another sip and a bite of Camembert cheese. He put the gun in his sweatpants.
The story then turns even more bizarre.
"I think I may have come to the wrong house," he said before apologizing. "Can I get a hug?"
Rowan, who works at her children's school and lives in Falls Church, Va., stood up and wrapped her arms around the armed man. The four other guests followed.
"Can we have a group hug?" the man asked. The five adults complied.
The man walked away a few moments later with the crystal wine glass in hand. Nothing was stolen, and no one was hurt.
"We found ourselves holding our breath almost in expectancy, as though we might stand on the threshold of a great event, transfixed in the portentious moment of waiting, although inwardly we were perturbed since this new, awesome, orchestration of time and space which surrounded us might be only the overture to something else, to some most profoundly audacious of all these assaults against the things we had always known." ~Angela Carter

Man mistakes porn DVD as woman's cries for help
JS Man mistakes porn DVD as woman's cries for help
""It was a woman screaming," he recalled Tuesday. "She was screaming for help."
Sword in hand, he bounded up the stairs, kicked in the door and confronted a man who turned out to be alone - watching a pornographic movie.
"Now I feel stupid," Van Iveren said.
Worse yet, police seized his sword - a family heirloom - carted him to jail and referred the case to a prosecutor who charged Van Iveren with three criminal counts."

Lent Lent Lent
So, I know this is a little late, but even though I'm not religious in the least, I thought about what I might want to give up for Lent and realized that I wanted to give up giving up shit.
Take that, Lent!

By the way, I stole this cartoon from somewhere online a long time ago and have no idea where it came from now. If it's yours, I'm not taking credit for it. It made me laugh.

Now I Know Not To Do This...
Professor Allegedly Shows Explicit Video.
To his criminal justice class.
Of a man having sex with a pig.
"His pedagogy was to teach real life. His classes were very earthy. Some students took that very well, and some students didn't."
Sigh.
To his credit, I suppose, he hadn't planned on showing it. It wasn't part of the curriculum. It seems some of the students "begged" him "to show the 10-second footage." If they're anything like the 101 students I'm teaching at the moment, I can believe that.
He's still an idiot for showing it. And now he doesn't have a job. Brilliant.

Badger rampage injures five
"My husband opened the door and the badger sat there and then, gradually, just slowly walked towards him and attacked him."
Mike Weaver, from the Worcestershire Badger Society, said: "I have never heard of anything like this in 24 years of work with badgers throughout the UK."
And then there's this:
"A man carrying a suitcase which contained the torso of a murdered prostitute caught a bus."
"He paid her £20 for sex. They both smoked crack cocaine and after that he killed her," said Dorian Lovell-Pank QC, prosecuting.
One more:
"Gang fires rockets on main road."
Ok, they were fireworks, but it sounds like England is going crazy while the Royals are out of town.

"Even kids cannot stand life unless they have a drink"

This is an item called "Kid's Beer" and is just a regular fizzy drink, but packaged and marketed like beer. The title of this posting is something the creators actually said in an interview about the stuff.
I truly enjoy Japanese marketing.
