Kellogs Squid Chunks From the Worth1000 Wacky Snaks contest [link]

The TKD guy is using elbows, so he's not using sport rules of any federation I know.

Sounds like basketball rules. Or not.

Does Krav have a squid defense?

As I floated there transfixed, a large squid moved to within two feet and flashed again. Mesmerized by the strobe effect, I didn’t see that another squid was rushing in from my left. Bam! It hit me with a tentacular strike that felt like being hit with a baseball bat square in the ribs. Shocked by the power of the strike and unable to breathe because of a cramp in my chest, I turned to see what had hit me and saw four more squid headed toward me. The first came in so fast that I could barely track it with the camera, and then Bam! It struck the camera, which in turn struck me in the face. I was starting to feel like I was in a barroom brawl.

After five attacks of equal ferocity, the magnificent monsters decided I was inedible and had no further use for me. With a few blasts from their massive jet funnels, they disappeared into the depths within seconds. Dazed and excited, I realized the entire ordeal lasted less than one minute. After dangling in the water for 30 minutes looking for any signs of their return, I surfaced and climbed into the boat. I later discovered bruises on me the size of oranges, as well as several scratches in my anti-squid armor suit.

Wow. Finally finished going through Robin's honeymoon pictures. Was going through a bit at a time through the day because I had to read all the captions. Beautiful people, places, and captions.

And now for something completely different....

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - An Indian businessman born with two penises wants one of them removed surgically as he wants to marry and lead a normal sexual life, a newspaper report said Saturday.

The 24-year-old man from the northern state of Uttar Pradesh admitted himself to a New Delhi hospital this week with an extremely rare medical condition called penile duplication or diphallus, the Times of India said.

"Two fully functional penes is unheard of even in medical literature. In the more common form of diphallus, one organ is rudimentary," the newspaper quoted a surgeon as saying.

I have had a throbbing headache since Thursday. Excedrin keeps it away, but then, as soon as it wears off, the headache is there.

WHY????

You've trained your brain to crave caffeine. Now it is punishing you for depriving it of the dark bean 24-7.

Aw, Laura, thanks.

It could be caffeine withdrawal, Allyson. Although I have had the same headache myself this week, and I think it's a sinus headache from...I don't know, something.
