Man accused of hitting mom with Polish sausage. This is horrible – and yet at the same time, I want to laugh. Domestic violence: not funny.Throwing food: absurd. Come to think of it, it reminds me of that Twilight Zone episode where the murder weapon was a frozen leg of lamb.
It also makes me think of this story – remember this idiot hitting his wife with a three-foot alligator? Oh, look! This site has a picture of the alleged alligator in a tub! Again. Not funny, and yet at the same time… Well, I, for one, feel bad for the gator. :D

Stolen shamelessly from Jay Lake: Pills that make your excrement glitter with gold. I wish I were making this up.
Last weird link of the day: Robot bartender. Yes, this is real. Asahi beer company put him together. O_O Worth watching. We are seriously in the future.
Writing update: Working on Here There Be Dragons, which is the follow-up to the book you’ve seen the query for here, and I’m considering a fairly large change. I’d planned all along for Alex to leave Germany, but the story doesn’t seem to want to go that way. I believe I’ll have to stay in Berlin for a while, after all.
Boy, is that another place I’d love to go someday.
