HE OUGHT TO BE A REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN:

Man severs own penis, throws it at officers (ERIC HERMAN, 3/17/06, Chicago Sun-Times)

Before cops threw the book at him, Jakub Fik threw something unusual at them -- his penis.

Fik, 33, cut off his own penis during a Northwest Side rampage Wednesday morning. When confronted by police, Fik hurled several knives and his severed organ at the officers, police said. Officers stunned him with a Taser and took him into custody.

After law school, I clerked for a judge in Portland, Oregon. We had this one criminal case where this college professor who was a pedophile was arrested and charged with trafficking in young Asian boys. When he made bail, he went to the SW Vista Ave Bridge, cut off his penis and jumped. It was not a pretty sight. The upside was that we didn't have to waste the taxpayers money and have a trial.

Watch out or this may become the next fad for the Wrigley "bleacher bums" after an opposing home run.

I guess we'll have to stop complaining about movies where the bad guy runs out of bullets and throws his gun at the cops.

As Tim Thomerson pointed out many years ago--Superman used to let the bullets bounce off his chest then duck the gun.

As Roe Conn pointed out today on WLS, the man's name lends itself to some great limericks.

Talking of stupid movie conventions, I'm sick of being told that whales are mammels. Every time someone makes mention of a freakin' whale in a TV show or movie, someone else lets slip that it's not a fish, but a mammel, and it breaths air! Just like us! Amazing! EVERY TIME.

Even Seinfeld and the Simpsons did it. Am I going crazy? Am I the only person on earth who notices this?

Whales aside, yes, you're probably going crazy.
