    Grafton NH is a.. special place. I always dread a little bit when I have a job there.

    If you're talking about Grafton and the bears you have to post the article: "The Town That Went Feral".

    It's worth a read if you have the time and haven't already. If you don't have the time, tl;dr DON'T FEED THE BEARS.

    Like seriously that's an insane kick, if he actually connected with the driver on it, the driver probably still dizzy from it, if even conscious yet.

    Police called about grenade, find weapon of ass destruction:
    A German police bomb squad called to investigate a suspected hand grenade in a Bavarian forest has revealed that the object was a rubber sex toy.

    A jogger reported finding a bag containing the device on Monday in a forest outside the city of Passau, near Germany’s borders with Austria and the Czech Republic.

    Also, town suffers a rather Canadian data outage:
    About 900 Internet users in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, lost service for 36 hours when beavers chewed through an underground fiber cable in what network operator Telus called a "very bizarre and uniquely Canadian turn of events."

    "Our team located a nearby dam, and it appears the beavers dug underground alongside the creek to reach our cable, which is buried about three feet underground and protected by a 4.5-inch thick conduit. The beavers first chewed through the conduit before chewing through the cable in multiple locations," the statement from Telus said, according to a CBC article posted Sunday.

    Reminds me of the story of that NH town that was taken over by libertarians. No one could agree on what to do about the bears and even when someone tried doing something about it their efforts were sabotaged by their neighbors.

    Lol libertarians.

    It's so incredibly stupid. What even enabled us weak naked apes to do anything was working together, and the more of us work together, the stronger the group generally is.

    But please, libertarians dehumanize yourself and face to bear

    Given that grenades don't have a flared base it's not something for anyone without some modification. Unless you enjoy awkward ER stories I guess.

    This article has a photo of the object in question.

    Note that there's an implication that this was a sex toy, and some articles are calling it a sex toy, but that's not really supported by the evidence. The actual grenade-style sex toys I found were more "inspired by" the grenade shape, and are actually designed to be used. What they found is just a rubber grenade replica, condoms, and lube. The grenade replica is no more a sex toy than a cucumber is.

    British police caught up in low speed chase:
    Police pursued a narrowboat for eight miles (12.8km) along a city canal to secure the arrest of a wanted man.

    The slow-moving operation took place along Leicester's Grand Union Canal on Wednesday.

    One of the officers involved joked he had been waiting 15 years to be involved in a water pursuit in land-locked Leicestershire.

    The 37-year-old suspect, who was wanted over an assault, was detained when he stepped off at a lock.

    On Twitter, the local policing team said the boat had a top speed of about four miles per hour (6km/h).

    They said officers waited in undergrowth near Lock 37 in Glen Parva and swooped in to detain the man when he stepped off the boat.
