When Trees Attack

Luckily, this tree couldn't make it up the stairs, else who knows what mayhem might have ensued.

Accused Killer Fears "Murder" Tattoo Might Prejudice Jury

I guess he got the “MURDER” tattoo in case anyone was unclear about the meaning of his tear drop tattoo (which supposedly represents having killed someone). On the other hand, since the letters are backwards, I guess the tattoo is really for himself, when he looks in a mirror. Is this his to-do list?

At any rate, he’s right; it doesn’t look good to a jury.

Lame (Duck) Excuse

A retired nurse in Oregon is suing for $275,000 in an alleged pet duck attack.

“In her attempt to run away from the agitated waterfowl, Ruddell fell to the ground, breaking her right wrist and spraining an elbow and shoulder, the suit claims.”

So it seems she was not injured by the duck, but by herself, while trying to run away from the duck. Seems like she is blaming her own clumsiness on a duck.
