A 27-year-old man faces a possible 5 years in prison after attacking a 15-year-old boy with a hedgehog. The man threw the animal from around 15 feet away and hit the youngster on the leg. The boy suffered a large red welt and puncture marks. When police arrived, the animal was dead. It’s not clear yet whether the man’s actions resulted in the death of the hedgehog.

India has developed a new nonlethal weapon in the war on terror: the curry hand grenade. The device packs curry, peppers and phosphorous that creates a choking cloud that brings baddies to their knees within seconds. A tank mounted version is also available for hosting larger events for terrorists hungry for pain.
