| Alexandria police said man stopped for riding his bicycle at night without a headlight was carrying a weapon made from a butcher knife attached to a pool cue. Details.[Perhaps A.P. could help us understand the origin of such a weapon.] |

| A Jourdanton man was killed early Friday after he was shocked by 69,000 volts of electricity as officials said he was stealing copper wire from an Atascosa County substation. Details.[Or maybe, more accurately, ignorance of how electricity works.] |

| It was two days before Christmas when Jason Bou chard went to Walmart, like countless other shoppers, looking for the perfect item. But rather than the ideal gift, Bouchard says, he was searching for the best tool for killing the mother of his children. Details. |

| But not in Britain! Brits toast new shatterproof pint glassThe shatterproof pint glass was proudly unveiled by the government on Thursday. Officials swore the country would save billions in health care costs by coming up with a glass that doesn't double as a lethal weapon. But noticeably, no officials were talking about reforming the British binge drinking culture at the root of the problem. There are about 87,000 alcohol-related glass attacks each year, with many resulting in hospital visits, Home Secretary Alan Johnson said as he introduced the two prototype shatterproof pint glasses. |

| It's Brit slang for "sock ya". It's what they call a bar fight. ![Smile](https://tdcaa.infopop.net/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif) I'm just amused that this was an important enough problem that the government had to design the new glasses. |

| An official says 40-year-old Dawn Brancheau is the trainer killed by a whale at SeaWorld in Orlando. Details.[And later in the same story, an entry for a different thread: "At the Orlando SeaWorld, the body of a naked man was found draped over a 5-ton orca named Tilikum in July 1999."] |
