From the Darwin In Action Department:

(1) Man who hid hunting knives in his pants to try to steal them from a western Michigan store tripped while fleeing and stabbed himself in the abdomen, police say. Oddly enough it would appear this idiot survived, in spite of his best efforts. You can read it at Man accused of stealing hunting knives hidden in waistband trips, stabs self and remember when your Mom warned you about running with sharp objects…

(2) And in another outburst of Idaho craziness, a cat entered an electrical substation in Nampa, Idaho, snuggled up to a warm transformer and contacted a live circuit, causing a short that blew out nine feeder lines Monday afternoon according to Idaho Power officials. Needless to say, but we will anyhow, the poor cat was reduced to “crispy critter” status and will not be doing this anymore.

(3) The Chinese, famous for supplying the world with “Cheap Shit From China”, is also at the forefront of producing green pigs and now glowing piglets. A fluorescent green Chinese pig has given birth to two piglets that share their mother’s transgenic characteristic after she mated with an ordinary pig. You can read it at Green pig gives birth to glowing piglets and wonder if how long it will before they are making bacon that cooks itself.
