When I saw the headline on this story about Rep. Kennedy’s recent injury, I thought that Tom Delay had finally gotten fed up with him.

…you’re really old. Tony Dow turns sixty one today. Frightening.

What’s even more so is that some of my younger readers may have no idea what this post is about.

I’m just wondering, in terms of psychological disorders, is this related to this? Is the desire to be castrated a variation (or a form of) apotemnophilia? Or is it something more kinky (if that’s possible)?

A woman who forgot to put on her seat belt, or close her sun roof during a tornado, was sucked out of her car and deposited three hundred feet away.

Only three hundred feet? Sorry, that’s far short of the new recently set record.

Do not use a live 40-mm round as a paperweight:

Part of a teacher’s hand was blown off when a 40 millimeter round the instructor used as a paperweight on his desk exploded in his classroom.

Robert Colla struck the round with an object Tuesday afternoon while teaching 20 to 25 students at the Ventura Adult Education Center.

What was the class, training to become the village idiot?

[Update the next evening]

Another note to self: do not use a 40 mm round as a flyswatter.

A malodorous canine flatulence minimizer.

Here’s a clip of a truly tragic moment in pop culture history. It is, as noted, very disturbing.

Here’s the story of a teenager who was carried a quarter of a mile by a tornado, and lived to tell the tale:

Grazulis said 300 to 400 feet was about the limit in order to survive a tornado-toss. One 9-year-old girl and her pony survived a 1,000-foot flight in 1955, but this was the longest previously known distance, he said.
