BOOM!!! GOTCHA!!! HIT YOU WITH THE OLD SWITCHEROOO!!!! Now that you've clicked on this, you might as well read what's below.

SEATTLE — Seattle police say a man who thought he was a ninja was impaled on a metal fence when he tried to leap over it.

An officer who was looking for an assault victim nearby Monday night heard the man screaming for help.

Police supported him to prevent further injuries until medics arrived and took him to a hospital, where he was in serious condition in intensive care on Tuesday.

Police spokeswoman Renee Witt wrote in a department Web site posting that officers thought the man might have been involved in the reported assault, but he insisted he was just a ninja trying to clear a 4- to 5-foot-tall fence.

Witt says the man was "overconfident in his abilities," and that alcohol likely played a role.

His name was not released.

Here's another one:

I heard that a person in a rural area hit a deer and it got stuck in the front grill of the car, but was not hurt. The driver drove to the local police station and they called the Humane Society to come help. They drugged it and then got it out of the car’s front grill and away it ran – or so they thought.

Nearby a guy was illegally hunting with a night scope and fired shots at the deer, missing him. The police immediately arrested the guy.

Love these stories, as unrelated as they are.

bummer for that dude

although sometimes i wish MD would just radically liberalize deer hunting because its getting to the point now where its dangerous to drive at night. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve come to a dead stop on Greenspring/Falls Road/[insert NW Baltimore road here] with one of those idiot-mamals staring my car right in the headlights. If only I could just pull out a .357 Taurus and waste it right there…

funny thing is though, apparently there’s some loophole for non-firearms, i.e. crossbows. We get mad deer in my dad’s backyard all the time and we could have had many a feast on venison if we had only the non-firearm weaponry to make it happen.
