Encore Une Fois

[shanmonster]

I'm going to a series of micro-talks tonight. 5-minute talks for the ADD generation, I guess. Tomorrow, I begin playing a new Vampire Dark Ages campaign. Huzzah!

More links for you. Some of them are bad-ass.

Shark bite acts as emergency caesarean: More like a coincidental caesarean, but who am I to quibble with anthropomorphism in the media?

Embryonic Cannibalism: Baby sharks eat other baby sharks in utero. Now that's bad-ass. I suspect that they might prefer a peanut butter sandwich, but such delicacies are difficult to obtain inside a shark uterus.

Clay Report: Twitter has everything (thanks, Ted).

Your Skin Can Help Your Ears Listen: "People can 'hear' not only with their ears, but also with their skin, new research shows" (thanks, f00dave).

Design fixed for 1,000mph car: 64 mph is all anyone will ever need.

Puke In My Mouth: The feminine follow-up to Jizz In My Pants (thanks, Amelia).

Cop Tases 10-Year-Old Girl: Tasing is the new spanking.

I want this chair.

...and after the tasing?

I think I've known about baby sharks
and cannibalism for 30 years. I have
not, however, seen grainy-ass footage
of it before.

I remember about ten years ago, in
BC, if a cop TASERed someone, there
was a big ol' inquest. Not so in
the Electric States of America!

Don't tase me, bro!

I was reading this on another website and there was a comments section that went on for pages and pages and PAGES. I read a handful... there were some defenders, but most were regular people screaming for the cop's blood. Personally, until you're there you can't judge. Obviously the cops shouldn't have been called... we can all agree on that. But, once he's there, he needs to resolve the situation. If she's flailing violently and won't comply no matter what he does, isn't that what a taser's for? Forget the age. My now 15 year old daughter used to need to be held down by me and 2 nurses at the age of 6 or so before a shot could be successfully administered. She's was the sweetest kid until it was time for shots. Then she snapped into her Hulk smash mode. Can you imagine if the cop had just left and the 10 year old had grabbed a knife or something else wildly unexpected and caused serious damage to the mother or herself? Those same people would have still been crying for his blood, but just for another reason.

Anyways, I did find a comment that was loltastic. "A smart cop would have been able to restrain her with a $5 fishing net." Holy crap... I'm still laughing about that. Sad thing is, it's true. She'd fight for a while and finally give up. Hilarious.
