Overnight Open Thread (28 Dec 2012)

Thank God it's Friday. Time to enjoy the weekend. So git yer drink of choice and let's get the ONT started.

OMG, someone Turned In Two Rocket Launchers for cash earlier this week in the Los Angeles gun buyback program. Funny thing is, those are empty, used launchers that are nothing more than nice souvenirs. They did publish an update after realizing how ridiculous it was to make it sound like folks are turning in live, ready to fire rocket launchers although they still try to make it sound like they could still be dangerous if only they were loaded with projectiles. These are fire and forget weapons. Once the weapon has been fired, they're discarded. They can't be reloaded.

Oh, BTW, you can Buy One if you want to.

Nature's Camouflage

Figured I'd change it up and instead of find the cat, Find The Giraffe, A Willow Ptarmigan, A Wolf, A Spectacled Caiman, An African Pika And More.

Spiderman

So evidently Peter Parker will no longer be Spiderman and they've already tabbed who replaces him. I think I'd rather have Mary Jane take over based on these pictures.

Weapons

Just another reminder that evil deeds do not require guns. Tea Workers Burn Boss To Death.

On Wednesday, around 700 workers armed with bows and poison-tipped arrows surrounded the house and set it on fire, trapping the couple.

5. The frat brother injured by a rocket fired from a fellow brother's anus
A West Virginia college student is suing his fraternity, alleging that he fell off a deck when a drunken frat brother fired a bottle rocket out of his own anus. Louis Helmburg III alleges that Travis Hughes's bottle-rocket stunt so startled him that he jumped back and fell. "Firing bottle rockets out of one's anus," the lawsuit states, "constitutes an 'ultrahazardous' activity."
