File Under Terrifying
A South Carolina sheriff’s department has purchased a tank with a .50 caliber machine gun. To put this gun into perspective, the amunition is strong enough to peirce through a car and even the millitary is hesistant to use it in most situations. The sheriff, Leon Lott, has actually convinced himself (and is working on convincing the general public) that the armmored personel carrier will “save lives.”
This is ridiculous. Seriously, and I’m even in favor of the right to bear arms, but no one, government official or private civillian should need something that even the military rarely needs. Find out more here.

Ironic Much?
Boing Boing has the story of 3 reporters getting shot at an anti-gun conference. ::Insert witty NRA jokes here::
A new burger joint in Beirut has opened with a terrorist theme. Order burgers to the audio of gunfire -no, really, they’re doing that, and the walls are decorated with fake guns and camoflauge. Try a “rocket propelled grenade” -a.k.a. a chicken skewer.

Creepy Snow Globes
These snow globes seen on InventorSpot are so creepy and strange, they are fantastic. Look at the whole series here.
Just a thought though, as much as kids like snowglobes, it may be a good idea to put these out of their hands. Most kids do not enjoy the thought of getting thrown down a well or eaten by a giant spider.
Thanks yet again Boing Boing, they have another great post today (as if it ever stops with them). This time, it’s a fantastic article in Good Magazine chronicling the black market of Paraguay, which is rampant and out of control, even by my standards. Read it.
