A 19-year-old man who shot himself in the penis after allegedly holding up a South Side hotdog stand Tuesday won’t be going home when he’s released from the hospital.
...
Still pointing the gun at the workers, Pouncy stooped over to collect the cash, Antonietti said. Shifting the gun in his waistband as he ran out, he apparently pulled the trigger, firing a bullet that struck him in the penis, Antonietti said.

Is the insulation soy-based?

She also blames a lot of the company’s troubles on the aforementioned employee: A female "controller” who was hired by Amazing Pet Expos.

In a statement to KGW, Rilenge claims her former employee “had come to believe she was a prophet tasked with writing a new book of the Bible, was Moses reincarnated, and that the COO of our company was the anti-Christ. She had been timing all of the COO's actions and claimed they all took place in increments of six seconds, six minutes, six hours, etc, thereby confirming he was indeed Satan.

Gotta hand it to him... this guy knows how to sell a used car:

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-41871936

The ad, with a cinematic voice-over which parodies the real deal, features an actress driving the car in LA.

There are close-ups of a vintage-looking tape-deck, as well as rubber duckies and a coffee pot strapped into the passenger seat.

"You, you're different," the narrator says, as the ad begins. "You do things your way. That's what makes you one of a kind."

The one-minute spot culminates with its own spoof tongue in cheek tagline: "Luxury is a state of mind".
