Cops: NY man shoots friend in leg at his request

STOCKHOLM, N.Y. (AP) -- Authorities say a northern New York man had his friend shoot him in the leg with a rifle because he wanted to know what it feels like to be shot.

State police in St. Lawrence County say the shooting occurred around 5 p.m. Sunday in the rural town of Stockholm when 25-year-old Shawn Mossow of neighboring Norfolk relented to his friend's repeated requests and shot him once in the right leg with a .22-caliber rifle.

The 24-year-old man from Norfolk is expected to make a full recovery. Police haven't released his name.

Mossow was charged with reckless endangerment. He's being held in the county jail on $10,000 bail. It could not be immediately determined if he had a lawyer.

Teachers decide to "dance bomb" student interviews

(CBS News) High school students playing pranks on their teachers is definitely not uncommon. But we're not interested in the commonplace here at The Feed. We like the extraordinary! We like it when "man bites dog" (not literally, though, of course). Which is precisely what this video of teachers deciding to "dance bomb" their students is. Check it out. Prepare to get your laugh on.

So there seems to have been a bit of a glitch from 1:14 to 1:31, but other than that, totally hysterical! Of course I may be a bit biased towards this since I'm the son of a school teacher...

The prank was played by history teacher Mike Penney at Abby Kelley Foster High School in Worcester, MA, and goes to show that your teacher may have more to teach than just their subject. I'd like to offer a triple-rainbow salute of laughter to all of these teachers who deserve an A in pranking!

Boy finds a piece of finger in Arby's sandwich

JACKSON, Mich. — A Michigan teen made a gristly discovery after biting into an Arby's junior roast beef sandwich.

Ryan Hart said he had nearly polished off his sandwich last Friday when he bit into something tough to chew that tasted like rubber, so he spit it out.

Turns out it tasted like finger. The fleshy pad of an unfortunate employee's finger, apparently.

"I was like, 'That (has) to be a finger,'" Hart, 14, told the Jackson Citizen Patriot on Wednesday. "I was about to puke. ... It was just nasty."

The employee apparently cut her finger on a meat slicer and left her station without immediately telling anyone, said Steve Hall, the environmental health director for the Jackson County health department. Her co-workers continued filling orders before they became aware of what happened, he said.

John Gray, a spokesman for Atlanta-based Arby's, released a statement Wednesday apologizing for what he described as an isolated and "unfortunate incident." He said Arby's is still investigating, but has determined that the Jackson workers shut down food production as soon as they found out what happened and thoroughly cleaned and sanitized the restaurant.

The injured employee was treated at a hospital. Gray said the franchise has fully cooperated with health officials and was given the approval to remain open.

Ryan's mother, Jamie Vail, was incredulous. She and her friend, Joe Wheaton, had taken Ryan and his 11-year-old brother to the Arby's drive-through, and she said she thought her son was joking when he exclaimed he had found a piece of a finger in his sandwich.

"Somebody loses a finger, and you keep sending food out the window? I can't believe that," said Vail. She and Wheaton said the severed section was about an eighth to a quarter-inch thick and at least one inch long.

Vail said she called 911 and met police at a local hospital, where her son's blood was drawn and he was prescribed some medication.

Ryan said he is feeling fine. Vail said she has been in touch with a lawyer, but has not decided what course to take.

(05-14) 08:40 PDT Lewiston, Idaho (AP) --

A man says he reached down to pick up a stick lying in the gardening aisle of a Wal-Mart in eastern Washington state, only to discover that it was a rattlesnake that then bit his hand.

Mica Craig says he was shopping in the outdoor garden department of a Clarkston store when he was bitten Saturday. The 47-year-old man says it latched onto his hand and that he screamed, shook loose the snake and stomped it to death.

The Lewiston Tribune (http://bit.ly/J4pfe5 ) in Idaho reports a bystander drove Craig to an emergency room in nearby Lewiston. Craig says he was treated with six bags of anti-venom and was told that his hand could be permanently disfigured.

He says doctors expect him to remain hospitalized until Tuesday.

60's Space Food Looks Gross, Probably Tastes Gross

http://www.livescience.com/20447-60-space-food-gross-tastes-gross.html

Being on one of the Apollo missions sounds like a blast, but in the end, you still gotta eat. Shown in this image is John Young's extra space lunch from the Apollo 10 mission. It contains cocoa, salmon salad, sugar cookie cubes, grape punch and hand wipes.

The Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum released the image today, May 18, to correspond with the anniversary of the Apollo 10 mission.

The Apollo 10 spacecraft launched from Cape Kennedy at 12:49 p.m. EST with commander Thomas Stafford, command module pilot Young and lunar module pilot Gene Cernan. This liftoff marked the fourth Apollo launch in seven months. Its purpose was to serve as a complete dry run for the Apollo 11 mission, the first mission to land humans on the Moon.

Each crew member was supplied with three meals per day, which provided approximately 2,800 calories. This photo shows Young’s Meal B lunch for mission Day 9.
