Well, how about some others that have happened:Can you imagine explaining to your insurance that your car sustained damage being hit by a hot dog?

"My submarine was hit by a car." (Admittedly, no insurance claim as the sub was a military vessel. In port, hit by a runaway parked car.)
"My plane hit a fish." (An eagle or such bird was carrying the fish and dropped it in avoiding the plane. They sometimes do species identification DNA testing on the goo to try to learn what sort of birds are getting in the way of planes--and sometimes it doesn't come back avian.)
And if you don't mind being slightly off:
"A whale hit my car." (I'm thinking of the infamous case of dynamiting a dead whale. There was vehicle damage from the rain of whale bits.)
"A rocket hit my car." (The flight went wrong not long after launch and the destruct was fired. The people inside the control center were fine, but there were a lot of damaged cars around it.)
That looks like the "cocktail wiener mobile" built on the chassis of a Mini Cooper.
Possibly. The TA was going to find out from the mum (who has a moon boot and crutches) and let me know.Lego land mines.
The great comedy writer for the Miami Herald, Dave Barry, somehow managed to borrow the weinermobile for a few days many years ago and write about the experience in his column. One of the things he did was to embarrass his 12 year old son (in Junior High at the time) by driving the Weinermobile to his school and pick him up. He got on the Weinermobile's loudspeaker and yelled out (paraphrasing), "Will Rob Barry please report to the Weinermobile out front? Your dad is here to pick you up!" Here's a picture of that event:
I like to cut x's into the ends so they splay out when you grill 'em.
That sounds painful. I'm not into S & M, though. I'd rather just rub it out.I like to cut x's into the ends so they splay out when you grill 'em.
Is this kid autistic?I was teaching 4 year olds the other day, and because it’s an assessable subject, I take roll. So a couple of kids were away the previous lesson, so I always say jokingly that it’s not good enough etc.
Anyway I get to C, and he was away and he said he was away got mum got hurt. TA tells me that she hurt her leg falling due to C’s booby trap. So I put my mock angry face on and say you shouldn’t set booby traps for your mum!
This kid starts wailing and hitting his head and crying that he didn’t mean to trap his mum it was for (unintelligible).
So I call him over and ask him quietly who he set the trap for and he said ‘the ster’. So I asked ‘the monster?’ He cries ‘yes’ .
Well cracked me up. So we talked a bit about why there was a monster in his room and I said it probably wants to be friends and he should try and be friendly…. Blah blah blah.
What’s intriguing is what sort of booby trap did this 4 year old trap that was good enough to seriously hurt his mum’s leg?
Don’t think so. They never complain, but they might just be really stoic?That sounds painful.
I don't think so. There are some autistic kids in the class, but he isn't one. Just clever I think.Is this kid autistic?I was teaching 4 year olds the other day, and because it’s an assessable subject, I take roll.

Ah ok. I thought when you said he was hitting himself that he was maybe autistic. Last night I saw the movie "Temple Grandin", (who is autistic), so I had "autism" on my mind...(Great movie, by the way).I don't think so. There are some autistic kids in the class, but he isn't one.
