Photographer speared through leg by javelin
Man, 33, not seriously hurt, takes picture of own injury at high school meet

Quote:

PROVO, Utah - A newspaper photographer got a little too close to the action at the state high school track championships — and was speared through the leg by a javelin.

Whole story with photo (WARNING: photo might be a bit much for the squeamish)

ETA: Glad to see the coach's heart was in the right place:

Quote:

“One of the first things that came to my mind was, ’Good thing we brought a second javelin,”’ Miles’ coach, Richard Vance, said Monday.

I love that he took his own picture. Gotta love shock. They always say that if you're crying, it's a good sign 'cause you're not in shock so the injuries not all that bad.

Here is a good example of why judges need discretion on the bench....

Teen nabbed for Naked Myspace pictures.

Lately there have been a spade of articles about kids using cell phone cameras to take naked photos of themselves and then getting threatened with child-porn charges after someone else finds the photos. A gross overreaction

However this kid when asked by authorities to remove the photos of his ex-girlfriend relied: "**** that, I am keeping them up". Idiot.

I'm pretty open-minded about people and preference, but when I read this story, all I could think was that I felt terrible for the gay couples who now would have to contend with a really-for-real example for the people who say "if we let them marry, pretty soon somebody's going to want to marry a goat, or a car."
