Sweden Has An Endangered Monster?
All Magnus Cedergren wanted to do was hunt down and hatch some Lake Monster eggs to raise monster babies, was that too much to ask?!? Apparently so, according to the 'environment court' in Sweden. You can't just go around hunting Lake Monster eggs! Lake Monsters, since 1986, have been on the Endangered Species List and therefore are protected.
Local nature preserve documents clearly state: "it is prohibited to kill, hurt or catch animals of the Storsjoe monster species," or "take away or hurt the monster's eggs, roe or den." The Storsjoe monster has been bopping around in the lake for some 400+ years. About 500 people say they've seen the creature with its long snaky body and canine or feline head and fins on its neck.
But nobody thought to bring a camera, so...well...who knows.

HELLO! My Name Is AGENT STUPID
On April 9th, a Federal DEA agent was giving a gun safety presentation to a crowd of about 50 adults and students in Orlando FL, and REALLY got his point across about accidental shootings. By accidentally shooting himself in the leg during the demo.
Bucky drew out his .40-caliber duty weapon and asked an audience member to look inside the gun and confirm it was not loaded. Mistake number one. Joe Audience said all looked nice and empty, and the agent released the slide. Mistake number 2. A bullet exploded out of the weapon and into his left thigh. Ouch!
In spite of the screaming and crying children, many parents were not unhappy with the display. As Vivian Farmer said, "Everyone was pretty shaken up. But the point of gun safety hit home. Unfortunately, the agent had to get shot."

Stupid is as Stupid Does
In Columbia, MO, some of the braintrust in the Kappa Alpha fraternity were trying to fill up a decorative antique cannon that was on their front lawn with fireworks. Imagine their surprise when the ancient cannon they were using as a rocket launcher broke apart and hurtled through the air, across the street, and BAM! through the roof of an apartment building before settling on a pingpong table on the 4th floor of said building.
Two members of the fraternity at the University of Missouri-Columbia were arrested. The national Kappa Alpha fraternity said Missouri's chapter president and vice president were facing charges.
Official Statement from the fratty rat executive director, Larry Wiese: "KA deeply regrets the actions taken by certain member of the chapter which violate our regulations and policy. KA policy prohibits the possession or firing or any type of firearms on fraternity property."
Reportedly, the phone at the fraternity rang unanswered Friday night.
Probably cause they're all a bunch of scaredy girly boys.

Now This is Taking "Splash Day" a Bit Too Far
It was Splash Day, and the Austin Tavern Guild was hosting an on-the-lake party on a rented barge. So the floating barge in Lake Travis was passing a nudist beach, and the passengers all wanted to get a good gander at the nekkie bodies. Quick thinkers that they are, the 60 revelers raced over to one side of the double decker barge to rubber neck. Not surprisingly, the barge tilted and sank, sending all 60 partiers into the 50 foot deep water off of Hippie Hollow, the only public nude beach in Texas.
Everyone previously aboard the barge has been accounted for.
