news of the weird

From the local news today:

An Austin man has been accused of trying to choke his girlfriend with the cord of a Wii video game controller after she became angry that he had eaten all of her Girl Scout cookies, according to an arrest affidavit.

Seriously? Oh Austin. Exploding houses, zombie traffic signs and now assault over Girl Scout cookies.

Ha! Thank you for bringing that to light! The world is truly good. It's made me wonder if whatever weapon G'Kar from Babylon 5 used [I never really notice weapons] is available on the market - there's one weapon I can see using. Will have to check it out. If you hear of stunning daylight robberies in Ontario using Narn swords, you've never heard of me.

But... it's tiny! Aren't they supposed to be big, two handed weapons?

Damn. WE don't have Klingon robbers. I'll keep a look out though - we did have a bank robber who painted his face green and covered his head with branches one time.
