One Chuck E CHeese's, a "family-friendly" restuarant/arcade game chain, in Wisconsin has had so many problems with fighting parents (they also serve alcohol) that they stationed armed security guards in the restaurant portion.
What a great place to take the kids!Quote:

It would be weird news if they didn't send SWAT teams wouldn't it :idea2:
Now I would say that story didn't really belong in the weird news thread , but then again when you can take.......and read it as ....Quote:
Days later, on Friday, the Metro SWAT team would converge on her Braintree home after a report that she had barricaded herself inside.
......then perhaps it deserves a special subsection in this "News of the Weird" sticky for "Weird ways to read the News" or perhaps "News when your Wired to the moon"Quote:

:drama2: Drama and suspense!! :drama1:
Friedrich Schiller comes to life!
Quote:
The character played by Daniel Hoevels was supposed to commit suicide in the drama with a blunt stage weapon but had instead been provided with a real blade.
He collapsed on stage with blood pouring from his neck and the audience started to applaud the spectacular special effects.
It was only when Hoevels, 30, failed to get up to take a bow at Vienna's Burgtheater in Austria that they realised something was wrong.
Now police are investigating their own murder mystery drama – after refusing to rule out the possibility that the stunt may have been an attempt to bump off the actor by a jealous rival.
:drama3:
So a boy gets an arrow through his eye, so deep that it's touching the back of his skull. And it misses his brain. How is that possible?
The arrow went through 11-year-old Liu Cheong's eye socket, completely through his head and was only stopped by the back of his skull.
He only survived because the arrow had miraculously missed his brain.
:fainting:
Unbelievable.
Maybe the kid was a descendant of Xiahou Dun?
'Tis the season...bet his mom said "you'll shoot your eye out!"Quote:

"Old Lady Unable to Master BATE At Home"
American tabloid readers love weirdness as humour. 'Banjo removed from dwarf's knee!'. 'Elvis spotter eaten by aliens!' With the occasional play on words thrown in to emphasise weirdness: 'Headless Body in Topless Bar'.
British tabloid readers laugh over punnery. When the Halles (famous food market) closed in Paris it was: 'Last Mango in Paris'. My all-time favourite: 'Supercaleygoballisticcelticareatrocious!'. For which one really needs some knowledge of the Scottish football league.
A recent one, after central bank interest rates were lowered, but not commercial bank rates: 'Pass it on, you bankers!'
Somewhere at the Sun office, working in shameful anonimity, sits the greatest living poet of the English language.
My favourite, which may well be apocryphal, was the story about several girls threatened with sexual assault by an escaped psychiatric patient in a launderette, who then absconded.Quote:

Dear God, the Octosquid Alliance has unleashed its stormtroops.
How can anyone deal with the Jellybabies of Death? Let alone the quarter-ton Gelatinous Mass?
It's the end, I tell you!
"When jellyfish populations run wild," the NSF jellyboffins warn, "they may jam thousands of square miles with their pulsing, gelatinous bodies."
It seems that no less than half a billion "refrigerator sized" slimy horrors weighing 450 pounds each invade the Sea of Japan daily, while Australian waters are plagued with "deadly, peanut-sized" Jellybabies of Death. It took the scyphozoan (or possibly hydrozoan) hordes just eight years to seize control of the Black Sea, apparently.
:scared:
I, for one, welcome our new robotic overlords:
There are now 1 million industrial robots toiling around the world, and Japan is where they’re the thickest on the ground. It has 295 of these electromechanical marvels for every 10 000 manufacturing workers—a robot density almost 10 times the world average and nearly twice that of Singapore (169), South Korea (164), and Germany (163).

As it was raining and thundery, they decided that the house, and Mr Wang in particular, had been struck by lightning. The police came to the same conclusion.
Further inquiries were made a few days later after Mr Wang's own funeral. As his body was being put into the cremation chamber, it blew up spectacularly, bursting the doors off the oven.
Please, God, let this be a joke. Hmm, following the linkage, looks like it's for real. Definitely a sign of the End Times.
Burger King has released a limited-edition men's body spray that evokes the smell of freshly broiled Whoppers. But isn't this what they spray on the burgers already for authenticity? No! According to a press release, "The King is setting hearts ablaze for the holidays with his new scent of choice. FLAME™, a new men's body spray by Burger King Corp., features the scent of seduction with the hint of flame-broiled meat. A favorite of the King, FLAME™ is available for purchase for a limited time at select Ricky's retailers in-store or online."
Hey, I know a certain supervisor at work who is going on a Caribbean scuba diving holiday soon. I'm sure I can get some colleagues to chip in so we can spritz his wetsuit with some of that FLAME™. Sharks like hamburgers, don't they?:sharky:Quote:
