OK. I’m out of this thread for a bit. I’m cooking dinner for crissakes.
Are you having an old friend for dinner?
I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised to hear that multiple Dopers are confident they could readily decapitate someone with a bread knife.
Reminds me of that educational thread, “How I Disposed Of The Body”.
You win. Totally.
Many years ago an elderly neighbor had a feral-ish cat that she allowed to live in her basement. The cat was apparently in an early pregnancy when it entered her house, and weeks later gave birth to a litter in her basement. There were complications and the cat and her five 4 day old kittens all died one night.
The cat had bitten the woman and she asked me to help her. I talked with her about rabies and contacted the county health department, who told me that they could accept the heads of the animals on ice for testing.
I wore gloves and dissected the cat’s head from the body. For the kittens I used heavy duty shears and cut their heads off. The six heads went into a freezer zip-lock bag which then went into a cooler with ice. I delivered the package and paperwork and they were found to be not rabid.
I got “reprimanded” by the lab, though. Decapitation was necessary for the adult cat, but she said the kittens, being tiny, could have been submitted intact. She thought I was joking around, while I was only trying to follow directions.
That’s a…weird joke for someone to make.
Testing the kittens seems like overkill.
All right Jack, that’s one of the best responses I’ve seen in a while.
A man in Peru sent bomb threats to various buildings including synagogues and high schools after young girls refused to send him explicit pictures. I’m glad they were able to catch him so easily and quickly. Peruvian man charged with sending 150 hoax bomb threats in the US - BBC News
The fact that he apparently used his work email makes him a world-class idiot as well as a monster.
Prosecutors say he asked at least two of them, including a 15-year-old, for explicit pictures and threatened to bomb their schools when they refused.
He’s also an idiot for thinking that had any chance of working.
Even if they thought you were telling the truth and had the actual resources to pull it off, do you think threatening a teenage girl with time out of school is going to motivate her?!
(I have a teen daughter, I assure you it will not.)
It will motivate her. To say “no” to pix & “yes” to bombing.
Seems our Peruvian friend not only can’t play chess or checkers, he pretty much sux at tic-tac-toe too.
Friend’s a vegetarian, so just the fava bean casserole.

Might I recommend a nice Chianti?
Pretty quick for a doper.

The CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch (which I keep wanting to write as “Finch”) has been accused of pressuring men into having sex with him and others at parties. The men were made to believe they’d get modeling contracts, were paid, and were required to sign non-disclosure agreements.
This bit sounds almost too “Bond villain” to be realistic: “The eight men who attended the events said they were recruited by a middleman, who they described as having a missing nose covered with a snakeskin patch. The BBC has identified him as James Jacobson.”
Here’s a photo, it’s not as disturbing as you’d think:
It kind of looks like zinc you’d put on to prevent sunburn.
The rumor is that his nose was damaged in a botched plastic surgery.
Why am I hearing the theme from Goldfinger playing but with “Snakeskinnose” as the substitute lyrics?
You’re welcome. All of you. 
When you’ve got a snakeskin nose, your career path seems pretty much pre-ordained.

I got a cobra snake for a nose
