Huge Power Plant Explosion in Ponca City, Oklahoma
Wonder what that was. Looked like the top popped off an LP or gasoline tank - perhaps a gasoline generator? Whatever it was, the arcing stopped when it blew.
Edit: Apparently it was a diesel generator substation.
Anyway, has anyone seen my pet squirrel?
Soccer Player Tosses Explosive Just Before it Detonates
Looked like that could have cost him a finger. Fortunate for him and for whoever threw it, I suspect.

A most cubist beaver.

I want very much for this to be real. It just seems like a lot of fun.

I like the German(?) word for beanbag chair (from the source file name): Leenbakker.
Leen Bakker is a Dutch\Belgian furniture store, but the German term for "beanbag chair" is still awesome: "sitzsack".

@zombieater
It seems like the solution there (at least in theory) is robust, scalable, tiered community self-moderation. Pure democratic up\down voting like some communities have isn't enough, I don't think. You need to have a way to distribute moderation powers to those who demonstrate the responsibility to wield them, and I like the idea of different levels of power (e.g.: power users, deputies, moderators, administrators, owners, etc).
