VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Reuters) - Police in a Vancouver suburb reminded residents on Tuesday it was not a good idea to play with a loaded gun while using the bathroom, after a man accidentally shot himself.

A 21-year-old North Vancouver man was facing numerous weapons charges after he shot off one of his fingers while apparently playing with a gun on New Year's Day, according to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

"Perhaps, our mothers never explained to us that it was not a good idea to play with handguns whilst using the restroom. But then again, maybe that was supposed to be a given," the Mounties said in a press release.

Well, it was only a finger. It could have been worse. Or, come to think of it, it could have been better. He could have improved the gene pool if he shot off his vitals.

If the "Empress of Ireland" hadn't sunk in 1914, Canada would've owned the United States... or, as I like to call it, the 11th province! :D :lookaroun

Pack of young girls allegedly robs pizza man

CINCINNATI - A pizza delivery man says he was the victim of a robbery attempt by a pack of girls.

Police say he described his assailants as five very young girls. Investigators believe they're looking for suspects in the 11-to-14 age group.

A police captain says it's a little disturbing.

The 21-year-old delivery man says the girls tried to take the pizza from him and ended up knocking him to the ground. But he wasn't hurt, and nothing was taken.

He says when he arrived at the spot where he was supposed to deliver the pie, it seemed the girls were waiting for him. Police are looking into whether they were the ones who phoned in the order.

Tampa, Florida - Like most Bucs fans, Bob Corry says he enjoyed Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints at Raymond James Stadium. Everything, except a song played over the stadium's loudspeakers at halftime.

Bob Corry: "The first song that I hear is 'Rock You Like a Hurricane' by The Scorpions and I thought to myself, 'Is it me, or is this just totally out of place and inappropriate?'"

The Bucs cheerleaders began their halftime show dancing to the song and Corry says he thought it showed a lack of sensitivity, considering what New Orleans residents went through last year following Hurricane Katrina.

Bob Corry: "There's thousands still living in trailer parks up there and 'Rock You Like a Hurricane?' I wouldn't wish that upon anybody."

Corry wrote the Bucs asking for the team to apologize, saying he was offended and doesn't feel the song represents the feelings of everyone at the game.

Bob Corry : "There are definitely people out here willing to give up their time, give up their cash, give up their own homes to help those people from that region. And to be insensitive, [it] doesn't represent Tampa Bay or the fans of the Bucs."

On Wednesday afternoon, a Buccaneers' spokesperson apologized for the song, calling it an oversight and saying it was not their "intent to offend anyone."

The team officials noted the song was part of a dance routine the cheerleaders have performed to all season. He says the song, "Rock You Like a Hurricane" will no longer be played at games against the Saints.

Earlier this year, the Buccaneers joined other NFL teams and the Red Cross in raising thousands of dollars for the victims of Katrina.

But, you've got to get over it too! Mr. Corry will adjust (I hope) and realize that the Bucs weren't out to get him. However, when the Redskins play the Bucs, I want some heep big scalp! :eek:
