But apart from that, did you enjoy the deep-fried bananas?

From The Daily Mail:

A Thai senator accidentally shot his cousin dead with a submachine gun during a family meal in a restaurant, police have said.

Boonsong Kowawisarat fatally injured Chanakarn Detkard, 46, when he mistakenly fired the 9mm Uzi as he tried to put it away after placing it on the table. Chanakarn, who worked as the senator's secretary, suffered a bullet wound to the stomach and died on the way to hospital, according to local police.

W-e-e-e-l-l, s*** happens, does it not? Also, Darwin is hard at work.

JH, I'd have thought it the height of bad manners to bring a loaded machine gun to a dinner party, but hey.

Didn't something similar happen to the Nepalese royal family?

B, yes, but he went nuts and killed them all deliberately.
