Re: Failures
One's a fake, and the other is blatantly ironic. Shurely that makes them both epic FAILs as failblog entries.
And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

Man Tosses Gas Bomb In Fight, Sets Own Cars Ablaze
I don't know why that annoys me.
It is an improvised incendiary device, not a "Bomb".The Florida Highway Patrol reported that a 51-year-old man got into a fight with his neighbor on Tuesday night and threw the makeshift gasoline bomb.

There was a story a year or so back about a political aspirant in one of those ex-Soviet states in the Caucasus. He was walking his dog, which was apparently a ferocious-looking creature, and some people he met got into an argument with him, on the idea that the dog should be on a lead.
He was so annoyed (hm!) that as they walked away, he checked his pockets and found a live grenade - as you do. (Or at least, as you do in former Soviet States in the Caucasus.) So seizing the moment, he pulled the pin and hurled the grenade at his critics.
Of course, he forgot the dog, who, in typical playful mood, fetched the grenade.
Shame about the dog, though. I tried to find this story in the internetweb, and couldn't...
