It looks like Texas has just leapfrogged Kentucky and Iraq.

Finally the Frogs are on the board! Who says we can’t compete with BCS programs. (Well, except Penn State, I guess.)

I had a little .38 when I was at TCU (after I moved out of the dorms). I never randomly fired it in a parking lot, though…as far as I can remember…

#13 — Correct, that’s 24 charges, with 8 of them being felonies. I’m not sure if burglary falls into the two or three point category, but it looks like 32 points at a bare minimum. Nevermind if assaults count as two points (if third degree battery counts as two, I imagine simple assault does as well), and felonies count as three. We could be in the 50+ range. And there are two guys who nearly everyone says were heavily involved, but weren’t charged…yet.

I doubt that all of the charges will stick, but still, We Are…setting the bar high.

In New Orleans around New Years, they used to put up “Falling Bullets Kill” billboards to try and stop the local tradition of discharging firearms in the air at midnight (a young Loius Armstrong was even arrested for this). Before the Sugar Bowl one year the guy that was Sebastain the Ibis got hit on Bourbon by one.

Maybe if you’re on everest they’ll go straight into space. If you get up there, you could actually put a bullet into orbit (This is probably wrong, but when you’re bored and having a debate in physics with you buddy . . . ).

Most times the bullets just come landing some where else. There was a story a few years ago about a woman getting killed by a bullet fired from a hunter’s rifle that had been discharged in the air several miles away. She just happened to be at the end of the arch and it caught her in the head. Weird story.

Well, after reading the mythbusters thing, I guess I’ve been shown to be right, perhaps right, and wrong. It’s a good thing I’m not bothered by moral relativism.

People have been killed by falling bullets in SoCal, I remember a case near Disneyland a few years ago.

I figured this must have been done by Mythbusters, and I was right (hey, has that guy ever been featured on Mustache Wednesday?)

By my count, that is 24 charges. Forget points–charges. The only interesting competition remaining in this year’s Fulmer Cup is whether the field, combined, can score as many points as PSU.

Lion4Life, everybody’s got it coming- that doesn’t make it right. But it does make it funny, so we’ve got that going for us.

Also, let’s remember that to the best of my knowledge (physicist I am not) bullets fired in the air won’t kill anyone on the way down- terminal velocity doesn’t kill people, dysentery kills people.

In PA misdemeanors are punishable by up to 5 years in prison – so some pretty hefty charges fall within the category – Simple assault is a Misdemeanor 2 (unless committed in the course of “mutually entered” fight – then it’s an M1).

And this brings us to my own “Lonely Planet”-style travel tip: Places you do not want to visit include any culture where firing weapons into the air is a routine form of celebration.

So, it sounds like Fort Worth is off my list.
