That’s not an alien, it’s… it’s Mother Theresa! The bun’s been found!

This is simple. Sometimes life is so crazy that even Onion can’t beat it.

So I’m reading that article on UK knife crime, and it reads like an article from The Onion parodying gun control. What’s up with that?

Ain’t that just like a geek… brings a batleth to a gun fight (Sean Connery – The Untouchables)

So… any sharp pieces of metal, like scrap metal from fixing a garden shed (I realize that’s normally thin steel or aluminum sheeting, but still!) is now illegal to own in the UK? Glad I live in Canada, where I can own a random object like a 12″ wide, 1″ thick and 3″ tall knife from a 36″ wood chipper (the knife was a souvenir from a job I rather enjoyed but had to give up thanks to government silliness in BC at the time).

Look out, Rob’s got a woodchipper knife!

Bat’Leths don’t kill people… Klingons kill people. I don’t agree with the UK disarming its citizens.

That must have been one ugly wizened muffin, maybe it had prunes which Mother Teresa is commonly confused with.

The skull has too many vertebrate characteristics to possibly be alien. Really no mystery, gizzards are full of rocks they are the avian teeth.

The Bat’Leth was designed in conjunction with a couple of martial artists, but really it’s not hugely difficult to imagine a strange bladed weapon which has enough swing on it to take a head off.

But whoa… why would anybody want to make a real sharp one? Bit worrying, that.

Final point: The Sun skimped on their research as usual, that picture of Worf with the Bat’Leth is from an episode of Deep Space Nine, not a movie. You all knew that I’m sure.

Whenever someone pulls a BatLeth on me, I just say “That’s not a knife” [pull out my Leatherman (Charge TI)] “That’s a knife”.

It figures that an E.T. would show up in that duck. It was a drake, and Drake has been trying to contact aliens for years.

The one about the bat’leth stands out.

A piece of ‘Trek’ weaponary that actually works (read in the artilce it could behead a man)! Who’d have thought?

Ya outlaw the Klingon weapons and only Klingons will have weapons…. or something like that.

Their testicles, for instance, grow to three times the size of their brains, but they have never been known to sprout an alien head, she said.

That sentence alone makes the article worth reading…
