Shots Across The Bow

Simply surreal

Gunman have taken 700 hostages in a moscow theater. We don't know what they want, or why they've done it, but check out how this article ends:

Located in southeastern Moscow in a working class neighborhood, the musical is based on Veniamin Kaverin's novel "Two Captains." The romantic novel recounts the story of two students and their different destinies during the Soviet times.

According to the theater's Web site, more than 350,000 people have seen the production since it opened.

Save the show reviews for the theatrical page, if you don't mind.

Happens all the time!

A Lake City woman was airlifted to Shands Jacksonville on Sunday afternoon, after her gun fell into the commode and shot her in the buttocks, according to the Columbia County Sheriff's Office.

A deputy was called to the Moore Road address shortly after 3 p.m., about a shooting and saw a woman bleeding severely from her left buttock. Emergency medical technicians were on the scene and had the woman airlifted to Jacksonville, reports say.

Reports say the woman had just taken classes on firearm safety and she had a fear of being robbed due to past incidents.

The woman heard something outside her home and reached over the toilet to raise the window and the gun fell into the toilet. The woman was injured when the 9 mm handgun discharged into the commode, reports say.

What more can I say?

Where's Steve Irwin when you need him?

A crocodile grabbed and killed a 24-year-old German tourist as she took a late-night swim with her sister in Kakadu National Park.

The two women were members of a tour group, several of whom went swimming at Sandy Billabong around 11.30pm CST last night (midnight AEST), despite signs warning of the danger of crocodiles in the area.

I'll bet her family sues somebody....
