Taser used to subdue 92-year-old

A sheriff's deputy used a Taser to stop a 92-year-old man from allegedly beating his roommate with his aluminum cane at a Florida assisted living center.

Both men suffer from Alzheimer's disease, the center at Hudson, Fla., said. When struck by the Taser, Olin Holcombe's lone comment was, "Wow! That smarts."

A nurse reported hearing a "thud" shortly after midnight Thursday and she found Roland Casanova, 81, on the floor, defending himself from Holcombe's cane, the Tampa Tribune reported. The sheriff's deputy who answered the call said Holcombe swung the cane at him also before the officer drew his Taser.

"Wow! That smarts." ?! That's it? This guy's gets hit with a freekin' Taser, his pacemaker is probably vibrating faster than the toy-of-the-month on Sue Johanson's Sunday Night Sex Show, and all he says is "Wow! That smarts."

That guy is TUFF. I would've been laid out on the floor crying and wimpering, feeling something like a Mike Tyson cell mate after lights out.

Spider-hunting nudist ends with ring of fire

A red-faced Australian nudist who tried to set fire to what he thought was a deadly funnel web spider's nest ended up with badly burnt buttocks, emergency officials said on Monday.

The 56-year-old man was at a nudist colony near Bowral, about 100 km (62 miles) southwest of Sydney, on Sunday when he spotted what he believed to be a funnel web spider hole.

Ambulance workers, including a helicopter crew, were called to the scene after the man poured petrol down the hole and then lit a match in an attempt to kill the offending arachnid.

"The exploding petrol fumes left the man with burns to 18 percent of his body, on the upper leg and buttocks," the NRMA Careflight helicopter rescue service said in a statement.

It said the man's lack of clothing probably contributed to the extent of his burns.
