| Pitcher tries to nail opposing player sitting in dugout... Posted: 27 Jul 2008 10:04 PM CDT hits fan instead. Yes, in the video, you can see Peoria Chiefs pitcher Julio Castillo throw a ball in an attempt to strike a Dayton Dragons player in the dugout. The pitch hits a fan instead, and the fan had to be hospitalized. Don't bother going to sportsnews08 looking for more. I checked the site, it's last post was February 23, 2008, and titled "Vollyball." Via.  |

| Posted: 27 Jul 2008 03:41 PM CDT Mont Saint-Michel (St Michael's Mount) is a tidal island in Normandy, France. The Wikipedia entry details its fascinating history, including this: Before the construction of the first monastic establishment in the 8th century, the island was called Mont Tombe. According to legend, the archangel Michael appeared to St. Aubert, bishop of Avranches, in 708 and instructed him to build a church on the rocky islet. Aubert repeatedly ignored the angel's instruction, until Michael burned a hole in the bishop's skull with his finger. Here's photos of the surrounding area and causeway:    Here's shots of the abbey:   Here's the abbey from above:   Here's a few interior shots:    Finally, here's the abbey's official site. *Previously: O'Brien's Castle in Ireland.  |

| Mentos Kiss Fight (online game) Posted: 27 Jul 2008 02:55 PM CDT  The Mentos Kiss Fight game was surprisingly fun. It's like a 2d fighting game, except instead of punches and kicks, you throw high and low kisses. Kissing while backing up throws fireball kisses, and catching a falling Mentos product automatically activates a special move kiss. If you win the one-round fight by inflicting more pleasure then your opponent, then you'll finish her off with a special move. The end boss is a cougar, and I managed to overwhelm her only after a couple of tries. Perhaps suitably, kissing her feet over and over proved to be the best technique. Via.  |
| The black and white flag of Brittany Posted: 27 Jul 2008 02:40 PM CDT  This is the black and white flag of Brittany, a province of France. I don't think I've ever seen a black and white flag before, but the Wikipedia entry notes that there's a few locales that have black and white flags. Via. While looking for photos of the flag, I found this image at Flickr:  It has something to do with a pilgrimage called the "Tro Breizh." Wikipedia explains: In Brittany, there is a very old pilgrimage called the Tro Breizh (tour of Brittany), where the pilgrims walk around Brittany from the grave of one founder saint to another. The seven founder saints of Brittany are: I wonder why there's a slash though the sign.  |

| Formula One chief was not into holocaust sex fantasies Posted: 27 Jul 2008 01:59 PM CDT Max Mosley was just into "typical s&m" sex fantasies. That distinction just cost the newspaper originally printing the allegations £60,000 in damages for invasion of privacy. Link.  |
