"A man, 24, was cited for discharging a firearm within city limits after he accidentally shot himself in the testicles with a gun that he tried to tuck into his pants."
I've long joked that my kids should be called Russell Sprouts, but this guy has done me one better.
Great video of hummingbird babies from hatching to leaving the nest. Watching them get fed, though, it looks like they're being impaled.
PZ Myers spots the perfect symbol for America under Bush: desert camo trailer hitch testicles emblazoned with a yellow ribbon on the left nut.
Via John Emerson, lose weight the natural way: with sanitized tapeworms.
"You know how it is - after you've broken your hip wrestling your best friend in jelly, you just want to sue someone."
