In Other Pointy Object-Into-Body News…

Our buddy in York who was impaled going to Papa Roach the other day is in serious condition at the York Hospital, so hopefully he’ll be okay.

He isn’t the only one getting impaled on something, though. In Shanksville — yeah, that Shanksville — in Western Pa., an engineer studying wetlands at a hunting preserve was gored by a deer. But as the preserve owner notes:

Roger Harmon, who opened the preserve for deer, rams and wild boar five years ago, said it’s the first time anyone has been gored at the site.

An historic first goring at that!

Cute Wittle Doggies Attack Owner

Earlier this week, the good ladies over at Jezebel — Do men read blogs for women because (1) they’re good and (2) girls are cute? Yes, yes they do — wrote about an alarming number of animals-attack-humans stories in the news.

It was as if the little cutesy balls of fur decided to turn on us because we give them homes and food and pet them and love them, or possibly because we also fight them and race them and make their livers big and slaughter them for food.

Now, the panic has spread to Philadelphia, as a Wissinoming woman was attacked by her own pit bulls, perhaps as retaliation for Michael Vick’s actions, the first dogfighting that has ever taken place in the United States. She’s in stable condition.

And, yes, this is just an excuse to run another puppy photo. Hey, it’s a slow news week. I mean, have you seen Metro? (More on this later.)
