WTF Stories of the Week - Page 90

It's my (limited) understanding that the crowd at the WalMart actually broke down the doors.

Talking to a BF shopper last night, he said EB Games didn't let anybody into their store. Everybody waited in line, you told them what you wanted, they brought it to you, and you paid for it. Easy, nothing got stolen, nobody got trampled, and everybody got as much as they were going to get (considering some things were out of stock).

I'm all for limited access when things get that nuts.

They broke the door off the hinges after the store was opened, they did not break it down in opposition to WalMart trying to keep it closed.

Ah. Thank you for the clarification.

An actor slit his throat on stage when the prop knife for his suicide scene turned out to be a real one.
Daniel Hoevels, 30, slumped over with blood pouring from his neck while the audience broke into applause at the "special effect". Police are investigating whether the knife was a mistake or a murder plot. They are questioning the rest of the cast, and backstage hands with access to props; they will also carry out DNA tests.

Should we replace "Break a leg" with "Slice a jugular"?

Not really WFT material but still interesting...

The smoking gun website has a copy of the infamous Van Halen "No Brown M&M's" rider.

I don't know why they are portraying this as some hard-to-find document. I saw that years ago.
