Home Depot modifies rope sales after nooses found in stores

Spools in pre-cut lengths most commonly requested will be sold

By Audrey Conklin FOXBusiness

Home Depot is modifying the way it sells rope after discovering that people were making nooses out of the spooled rope in some of its stores.

The home improvement retailer has taken away spools of rope and is instead selling pre-cut rope in lengths that are most commonly sold, Home Depot spokesperson Margaret Smith told FOX Business.

"Unfortunately, we’ve had some instances where spooled rope was used to create hate symbols and we’re not going to tolerate it," Smith said in a statement. "Out of an abundance of caution, we temporarily removed spooled rope from our aisles."

KFC drops 'Finger Lickin’ Good' slogan during coronavirus pandemic

KFC's chicken is “finger lickin’ good,” but it will no longer be using the slogan given the coronavirus pandemic.

The Kentucky-based fast-food restaurant chain announced the change on Monday in a playful news release where KFC declared itself the “winner of the award for the most inappropriate slogan for 2020.”

“Think we can all agree, this year has been like no other and, right now, our slogan doesn’t feel quite right,” the company said. “So, for that reason, we’ll be pressing pause on using it in our advertising, for a little while.”

Explosive device used at gender-reveal party causes fire and mass evacuations in California
A fire that has destroyed over 7,000 acres and forced the evacuation of 3,000 residents was caused by a "smoke generating" explosive used at a gender-reveal party, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. "With the dry conditions and critical fire weather, it doesn’t take much to start a wildfire. Those responsible for starting fires due to negligence or illegal activity can be held financially and criminally responsible," the statement said.

Toddler gets his head stuck in toilet seat, dad has to saw him out

That’s definitely the wrong way to use the potty.
A Florida family found themselves in an unusual situation when their 2-year-old son got his training toilet stuck around his neck. The family filmed the removal process, which required a saw and apparently a toddler who is amazingly good at standing still for his age.

Dentist who extracted tooth on hoverboard sentenced to 12 years in prison

September 16, 2020 | 5:34pm

An Alaska dentist who extracted a patient’s tooth while riding on a hoverboard has been sentenced to 12 years behind bars for that stunt and other wheel-y bad crimes.

Seth Lookhart was sentenced Monday in Anchorage Superior Court on dozens of charges that stemmed from his scooting antics to Medicaid fraud and removing a patient’s teeth without their permission, the Anchorage Daily News reported.

He was convicted back in January on charges of reckless endangerment, illegally practicing dentistry and medical assistance fraud. ...

I suspect his prison sentence had more to do with practicing medicine without a license than hover boarding.

Delingpole: Socially-Distanced German Soccer Team Gets Thrashed 37-0



A German soccer team has been thrashed 37-0 because its players insisted on observing rules about ‘social distancing.’

The defeated amateur football team SG Ripdorf/Molzen II were worried that their opponents SV Holdenstedt II had been exposed in a previous fixture to a player who had tested positive for Chinese coronavirus.

So, to protect themselves from this deadly threat SG Ripdorf/Molzen II decided to field only seven players (the minimum required to avoid a fine for forfeiting the game). The players then failed to participate in the game – allowing their opponents to walk all over them.

Scientists win award for giving an alligator helium and making it shout

A group of scientists who put an alligator in a helium-filled box and made it shout have won an ‘Ig’ Nobel Prize, a prestigious-ish award that commemorates the science world’s more unusual experiments.

The team, led by researchers from Austria and Japan, were trying to figure out if alligators’ vocal communications relate to their body size — but it was their method, rather than their hypothesis, that caught the eye of the awards committee.

The Ig Nobels have been held since 1991 to parody the more established Nobel Prizes. This years award ceremony was livestreamed as a result of the pandemic.

American researcher Richard Vetter won the entomology prize for “collecting evidence that many entomologists (scientists who study insects) are afraid of spiders, which are not insects.”

“The Ig Nobel Prizes honor achievements that make people laugh, then think,” the award organizers write on their website. .........

Oregon man shoots self in groin while showing off gun in supermarket checkout line, cops say
Updated Sep 21, 2020; Posted Sep 21, 2020
By Shane Dixon Kavanaugh | The Oregonian/OregonLive

An Oregon man is on the mend after police say he accidentally shot himself in the groin while flaunting a concealed handgun at a Lincoln City supermarket.

The mishap occurred Sunday night when Nicholas J. Ellingford, 29, brandished his Glock 9mm in the checkout line at McKay’s Market on U.S. 101 and tried to show it off to a buddy, according to the Lincoln City Police Department.

Ellingford mistakenly pulled the trigger as he stuffed the piece back into his pants, police said. A bullet tore through the gunslinger’s groin and exited his thigh, just barely missing the man’s femoral artery.  ...

If you are flaunting it, it isn't concealed...

Something about re-holstering a pistol with your finger on the trigger that makes for a bit of excitement...

and just missing the Femoral Artery is lucky, because that's a wound all too easy to bleed out with.
