What I learned today from the interwebs

The Scots are an exceptionally stabby people.

Actually, I don't know if "learned" is quite the right word there. "Reminded" might be more on the mark.

Police tackle internet knife gangs (BBC Glasgow)

[ross-teneyck.livejournal.com]

"We have large kitchen knives, axes, samurai swords, baseball bats, a huge number and different type of weapons - in simple terms weapons that can kill."

I don't think I have a baseball bat, but I have instances of all the rest of those lying about my house.

Also, the phrase "internet knife gang" made me wonder how you knife somebody on the internet.

Take this Seriously? No, no I'm not.

Well it all comes from knives being able to animates themselves and kill people without anyone holding the knife (because knives are evil and kill people), it is only a simple matter for them to then fly down the intertubes (if a US senator says that is how the internet works, who am I to argue) from one computer to another and then there is much stabbity action going on. [/silly]

Or it could be a cool Facebook application where you can buy virtual knives and virtually stab your friends. Maybe I should make that, then I can identity thieve all the people that use it.

I'm lacking the samurai sword (or any other kind of sword), I do have a hatchet (though I'm not sure if that counts as an axe) I seem to have the rest though (and significant quantities of some of the smaller objects).
