Flight of the Sumo Wrestlers

How many sumo wrestlers can you fit into a small airplane? A lot apparently. And how many sumo wrestlers can you fit into a small airplane without the machine getting too crowded?

Well, that's another riddle all together. :-)

Any how, here's a story from Bleacher Report:

Crappy "Krotty" Drivers

Car crash - Illustration from Wikipedia

Really hope we don't see any crappy "krotty" drivers trends here...

First you had the wild story of the karate (aka. krotty) parent from Ohio who drove his two young children to karate practice, while under influence ... and managed to be an hour late to boot.

Then you had another one - from Ontario, Canada this time. Karate parent late for his son's class. Windsorstar.com reports:

A 26-year-old man has been charged with careless driving. Police reports show he was late getting his son to Karate class.
The two-car collision happened just before 6 p.m. on Tuesday night.
A 2004 Chevrolet, driven by the 26-year-old man, was travelling southbound on Bernard hit a 2009 Pontiac travelling eastbound on Seminole, causing the Chevrolet to slam into the wall of Trevi Pizza.

Guys, take it easy... please. Karate and other martial arts is supposed to be fun and all that ... nothing to risk anyone's life or health over.

Weapon haul

A Belgian tourist travelling from the Philippines has been caught with 17 martial-arts related weapons during a routine baggage check at Melbourne airport.

A customs officer found the items in 33-year-old's luggage yesterday morning. The haul was made up of seven nuchukus, four extendable batons and six knuckledusters painted in an army camouflage pattern.

Spokesman for Customs Matt Wardell said: "He didn't present them to customs officers when he was asked ... It is a serious offence because there is the potential for these weapons to make their way into the community, where they could be used in the commission of crimes."
