Quantcast

And The Odd Headline Of The Day Goes To:

King5.com and the following headline: "Woman shot by her stove." When reading the headline, we thought surely King5 had a little headline clarity problem and the woman had been standing by her stove when shot, but oh no...King5 meant exactly what that headline said. A woman in Sekiu, Wash. was literally shot in the leg by her wood-burning stove. After stoking the stove, the woman heard a loud bang and was then struck in the calf. Apparently, she'd spilled some shot-gun casings near the stove a while ago, and one got a little too close to the heat. Being the bad-ass that she obviously is, the lady pulled out the shrapnel by herself before heading to an area hospital.

    Heck yeah, bourbon is a sippin' brew Troy!

  • I figured she'd drink the MGD, not pour it into the wound. Look, I watch a lot of Westerns, so I know how to fix bullet holes. It's whiskey. Not bourbon either. That's a sippin brew.

    Troy, it was Sekiu, not Belltown. She poured MGD in the wound, of course and used 30-lb test monofilament as a tourniquet.

  • Did she pour whiskey in the wound first?!
