When I was studying for the exams in semester one, I went a little insane and got hooked on Clannad. The animation series produced by the very people who did Kanon and Air, which meant that not watching Clannad would be a crime. And as per Kanon and Air, Clannad was bound to be a tearjerker. Which is why I have stopped at episode 8 or so, not daring to go much further because I know for sure that the waterworks will be turned on in the following episode. Coward, but I choose to see this as an act of self preservation.

Hedgehog Weapon

A man in New Zealand has been charged with using a hedgehog as a weapon, the New Zealand Herald has reported.

Police said William Singalargh, 27, had hurled the hedgehog about 5m (16ft) at a 15-year-old boy.

“It hit the victim in the leg, causing a large, red welt and several puncture marks,” said Senior Sgt Bruce Jenkins, in the North Island town of Whakatane.
It was unclear whether the hedgehog was still alive when it was thrown, though it was dead when collected as evidence.

The police spokesman said the suspect was arrested “for assault with a weapon, namely the hedgehog.”

Mr Singalargh is due to appear in court on 17 April. If convicted, he faces up to five years in prison.

Now that’s novelty for you.
