    Man uses waistband as holster, the inevitable happens:
    There, the man told officers he was on a walkway near a Girl Scout cabin when the Hi Point 9mm handgun on his waist began to slip. The man said he reached down to adjust the gun, accidentally causing it to discharge.

    Police said the bullet entered just above the man’s penis and exited his scrotum.

    This is why holsters exist, folks.

    A man feels the need to run around with a penis-substitute. He accidentally shoots himself in the penis with the penis-substitue. The system works.

    Now he can just tape his gun to his crotch straightaway.

    Win-win.

    It was that somehow, from within the derelict-horror, they had learned a way to see inside an ugly, broken thing... And take away its pain.

    Lanes exist in parking lots even if there isn't a line.
    You can't just drive down the left hand side yelling "Ain't no lanes here!"

    Unless there is a single car width exit & entrance in this parking lot someone is absolutely in the wrong.

    All the applicable laws I could find from both the Standard Traffic Ordinance for Kansas and the Traffic Laws for Lawrence, other than parking, either stop at the entrance/exit of the property, or require clear markings of lanes. As long as Chad's car was pass the sidewalk, they can't legally do jack unless the property owner tells them to.

    You mean carriers, right? Battleships don't have catapults.

    Unless someone's testing a really big gun.

    Eh you don't have to be intoxicated to be an asshole while driving.

    My apartment overlooks a Whole Foods parking lot and let me tell you, eating organic doesn't make you any less of an asshole while driving.

    Why I Love My Fucking Home State, Actually Using The Acronym 'EOD' Properly Edition:
    An Air Force bomb disposal unit blew up dozens of damaged projectiles along a rural Montana highway and recovered hundreds more after a truck hauling Navy weapons was in a crash earlier this month, military officials said.

    The crash involving the military truck and two commercial trucks happened in severe winter conditions on Feb. 11 on U.S. Highway 212 in southeastern Montana. Details about the truck’s cargo were only released this week by 28th Civil Engineer Squadron Explosive Ordnance Disposal team based in Ellsworth Air Force Base, South Dakota.

    The truck was carrying a shipment of U.S. Navy-owned military munitions and traveling after dark in blowing snow along the snow-covered roadway surrounded by ranchland, military and Montana Highway Patrol officials said. The crash happened on a hillcrest near a curve, when one truck crossed the centerline of the highway and struck another truck heading in the opposite direction, patrol Sgt. Dan Martin said Friday.

    A third truck then crashed into the first two and ended up in a ditch. No injuries or property damage was reported.

    Ah, snow and munitions - two "great" tastes that do not go well together.

    She’s the one who called the cops because she apparently can’t drive a minivan in reverse.

    Actually, WW2 battleships did have catapult systems that they used to launch over-the-horizon spotters.

    The general tone seemed to be that the guy was a stubborn idiot and the woman was an idiot who called them to resolve a petty dispute and kept insisting they should tow the other guy's car or something.

    I mean, the fake names the police used for the pair were Karen and Chad, which in case you don’t know have become the default for “lady who demands to speak to the manager” and “dude who is insufferable” in modern internet usage.

    Think of how genius it is. You see a regular bike rider going down the freeway, and what’s your reaction? Probably anger, right? That guy doesn’t belong there. He might even be treated with open hostility for his trafficular transgression. Some jerks might even try to run him off the road.

    But a nearly-naked dude sitting on the handlebars and riding backwards on the freeway? That guy is clearly insane. Under no circumstances should you approach him. And there’s no way you can accidentally ignore him. You’re not going to change lanes and suddenly oops there’s a bike there. You know exactly where that guy is as soon as he comes anywhere near you. And you know to keep your distance.

    Seeing how badly I fared on a bike compared to a car in GTA: San Andreas has instilled a lifelong sympathy for bikers on roads.

    Man complains about his photo being used in an article on hipsters looking the same. Editor discovers photo is of a different hipster
    At the end of February, MIT Technology Review emitted a pithy rundown of a 34-page research paper from maths-modelling boffins at Brandeis University in the US; the paper essentially posited that in a bid to make that all-important "countercultural statement", hipsters can end up looking alike. For groovy models of how random acts by hipsters "undergo a phase transition into a synchronized state" – along with some knotty network equations – see here [PDF].

    Accompanying the article was an edited stock image of a generic millennial chap in plaid shirt and standard-issue beanie, or "trendy winter attire", as Getty put it.

    The MIT journal's editor-in-chief, Gideon Lichfield, took to Twitter to tell a "cautionary tale" about what followed the article going live:

    "We promptly got a furious email from a man who said he was the guy in the photo that ran with the story. He accused us of slandering him, presumably by implying he was a hipster, and of using the pic without his permission. (He wasn't too complimentary about the story, either.)"

    . . .

    Lichfield pointed out that he didn't think calling someone a hipster was "unflattering or unduly controversial" but contacted Getty to be safe.

    The stock photo giant checked the model release and lo! The guy in the image wasn't even the same dude who was complaining. "He'd misidentified himself," Lichfield said.

    "All of which just proves the story we ran: hipsters look so much alike that they can’t even tell themselves apart from each other."

    They are both geese, but if I had to feel more sympathetic to one of them, it would be the one who'd be backing into the street rather than the one who can just back further into the lot.

    Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion.

    Also she was the one that called them there, yet was unwilling to do anything to resolve the dispute so that probably annoyed them a bit
