AP Headline of the Day

Seems like a respectable number of you have been coming by during the holidays. Not sure why, but I thank you for it. Posting for 2008 will begin in earnest tomorrow, but for now, the last notable headline from 2007:

Men Shoot Themselves in Tattoo Attempt

CHAPARRAL, N.M. (AP) -- ...Two men trying to trace a loaded .357-caliber Magnum as a pattern for a tattoo accidentally shot themselves, the Otero County Sheriff's Department said Monday.

Robert Glasser and Joey Acosta, both 22, were treated at a hospital in El Paso, Texas, after the shooting Thursday evening in nearby Chaparral. Authorities said Glasser was struck in the hand when the gun accidentally went off, and Acosta was hit in the left arm. Their injuries were not life-threatening, authorities said.

The article doesn't make the point that, while the injuries were not life-threatening, being Robert Glasser and Joey Acosta cleary is.
