This is a blog you can read.

So, I haven’t posted on here in a while (around here we have this funny little tradition we like to call “finals”), but this story was too amazing to pass up.

Chuck Norris protects baker

Store bosses have seen off burglars by placing a life-sized photo of Hollywood action star Chuck Norris in the window.

The posh bakery shop in Split, Croatia, had been broken into almost every week until they put up the poster of the karate champ with a sign saying: “This shop is under the protection of Chuck Norris.”

Now the bakery hasn’t had a single burglary for more than a month.

Sales assistant Mirna Kovac said: “To be honest we just started it as a joke but it really has worked. Thieves haven’t been anywhere near us for ages. People seem to respect him.

“Everyone around here has seen his films and he’s quite a popular character, perhaps even among criminals, so they’ve decided to leave us alone.”

She added though: “We have had a few customers come in and ask us whether they can get Chuck’s autograph. They really believe he is sitting in our storeroom out the back ready to pounce on any burglars.”

Basically, this guide from Germany is not about how to avoid electrocution, but how to die in unpleasant and incredibly improbable ways. Like peeing on an electric wire.

Man, and I always thought that sounded so fun.

The best part about this, though, is the comments that the viewers left on the images.

First interesting bit of news I’d like to discuss: In Britain people are getting “de-baptized.” I find this actually sort of humorous. I understand that some people don’t believe in God anymore, but I’m unsure as to why it’s a huge deal if you were baptized as a kid. Most people would understand. But what gets me is this:

Michael Evans, 66, branded baptising children as “a form of child abuse” — and said that when he complained to the church where he was christened he was told to contact the European Court of Human Rights.

How, in any way, is sharing your faith with your children child abuse? Yes, we get it, you don’t go to church anymore, but how has this scarred you for life? Now I’m personally against child baptism, but that’s beside the point. This just trivializes actual abuse in a lame attempt to complain about what they wish hadn’t happened to them. Stuff you don’t like happens all the time. It’s called life, not abuse.

Popcrunch posted a list of creepy TV characters, which in retrospect I agree with (at least for the shows I watched). Although at the time I watched these shows, these were the characters I liked. Except the last one. He was always creepy to me.

And now on to things about me.

I want these. I can’t see paying $100+ for a pair of shoes, but I want them so hard it sort of hurts my heart.

I am still addicted to This Is Why You’re Fat, but I think we have a winner here.

I went to California last week, and posted some pictures to my new Flickr account. I’ll be posting some photos of the ocean within the next few days.

Also, comments make me a very happy person. A happy person indeed.
