Starting a thread because of this.

There should be a coffee table book that is a compilation of outrageous things like this that should be an article from The Onion, but aren't. It would be called "I Can't Believe It's Not From The Onion!"

Looking at Lief's signature, Rob Ford could be a possibility.

Poor guy.. talk about swollen ankles Sad

Honestly I think George H W and Barbara Bush are adorable as old fogies.  I mean.. when Barbara Bush looked exactly the same back in 1988 it was kinda weird... but now she just looks like Grandma Everywoman

This is pretty great, considering that it's written by a centre-right journalist in a serious venue. A1 trolling.

http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/05/us/west-point-pillow-fight/index.html?sr=fb09515westpointpillowfight841pStoryLink


West Point thrives on tradition, including a mass pillow fight held on campus to give first-year students a chance to blow off steam after a "tough first summer" of basic training, academy Superintendent Lt. Gen. Robert L. Caslen Jr. said in a statement.

But the pillow fight held August 20 got rough, with 30 members of the class of 2019 requiring medical attention and 24 suffering concussions, Caslen said in a statement.

Other injuries included a broken nose, a dislocated shoulder, and a hairline fracture of a cheekbone, he said. All the students have returned to duty.



Is it bad that I'm more amused that this is a longstanding military tradition than I'm concerned about the injuries? Tongue
