I read a lot of weird news headlines throughout the day.  Weird news is one of my hobbies.  I don't know why.  This one in particular is just too good to pass up: 
Dutch man injures posterior in mooning accident
UTRECHT, Netherlands - Utrecht police say a 21-year-old Dutch man is recovering after a "mooning" that went horribly wrong.

A police statement says the man and two others had run down a street in Utrecht with their pants pulled down in the back "for a joke."

It says that at one point the 21-year-old "pushed his behind against the window of a restaurant" that broke and resulted in "deep wounds to his derriere."

The statement released Tuesday says police detained the three men after the incident Sunday morning. But the cafe owner decided not to press charges after the men agreed to pay for the broken window.

The injured man was treated for his injuries at a nearby hospital.
There are just so many interesting facets to this story.  One is the fact that it's even a story at all.  It shows a little about the state of our society when stories like this make the news.  Then there's the use of quotes.  No reporter is low enough to know what "mooning" means, so everything is in quotes, to cover his/her "derriere".  There's also the fact that this may be the first ever recorded instance of a mooning accident.  This is groundbreaking stuff here.  And that restaurant owner is pretty cool to let the guy go as long as he pays for the window.  The punishment could've been a lot worse, say, if the restaurant owner decided to call the local newspaper.  Oh wait, that's what he did. 

I tend to put myself in this guy's shoes because I've done a few stupid things in my lifetime that could've easily ended up going horribly wrong.  I wonder how long he waited as he sat impaled on shards of glass before he agreed to call an ambulance?  He was likely losing a huge amount of blood, but I would imagine the thought crossed his mind that there'd be a better way out of the situation.  Then when he was at the police station, who did he call to get picked up?  His parents?  "Hi mom, yeah it's me.  I'm at the police station.  I stuck my butt through a window and wound up in the hospital and then got arrested.  Can you come pick me up?"  As if it wasn't enough that this guys friends, the restaurant's patrons, the doctors and nurses at the hospital, and law enforcement officials were given the privilege of witnessing this momentous event, he likely had to tell his family about it.  And then when all his friends, acquaintances, and relatives read about it in the newspaper, I bet it made him swear off using his butt that way ever again. #entertainment
