My dentist does a small round of x-rays every visit (i.e. every six months.)

Pregnant women skew the numbers too, they can have anywhere from 3 to a dozen sonograms.

MRI and sonograms do not involve radiation. Just saying.

But they are "imaging studies".

More weird news. Don't steal tips from waiters. Just don't.

Robber stabbed to death with sushi knife by seven angry waiters for stealing their tips

Seven waiters at a Japanese restaurant in Paris were under arrest today after an armed robber was stabbed to death with a sushi knife after trying to steal their tips.

The 22-year-old was brandishing a pistol when he raided Planet Sushi, in the upmarket 5th arrondissement, last night.

An accomplice, also 22, was with him, holding an electric stun gun.
Planet Sushi, Paris

The 22-year-old unnamed man was stabbed to death with a sushi knife after trying to steal tips from Planet Sushi, in the upmarket 5th arrondissement in Paris

The pair first demanded that that management in the restaurant handed over all the day’s takings.

When they refused the criminals began helping themselves to a tray full of tips.

This infuriated the waiters, who began fighting with the robbers, stabbing one
with a razor sharp kitchen knife used to ‘sculpt’ fish segments into sushi.

‘An extremely vicious fight broke out, with one robber mortally wounded,’ said
a Paris police spokesman.

And the cops arrested the robbery victims for defending themselves during the robbery.

Don't steal from bartenders either. I killed more than one person for such sneakiness, back in my day.

Thats what bothers me the most. That they got arrested defending themselves.

Lets see there is one less loser on the planet, no wasted money on prosecution, detention or trial (fuggetabout rehabilitation) and the people who provided this service have been arrested?
I'd say a thank you is in order, not arrest. . . oh and their tips too.

Yes, but this was in France. The waiters' proper response should have been, "but of course you may have our tips. allow me to provide directions to my home. please take what we have there as well'"

Several observations...

How can 7 people be arrested if the guy was killed with ONE knife? Unless the other 6 held the guy down...

I guess France has no right to personal self defense either. Sure, one could argue that they should have handed the money over, but who's to say he wouldn't have shot someone anyway. In this day and age, compliance doesn't equal safety.

I guess the robber never heard the old adage about bringing a gun to a knife fight. :D

Dr. Harold Henry, chief of maternal and fetal medicine and one of 46 doctors, nurses and assistants who delivered the children by Caesarean section, agreed. “It is quite easy to miss a baby when you’re anticipating seven.”

Caesarean. Not quite semi-automatic, but still.

The mother plans to nurse the babies herself, which are now being fed pumped breast milk, Gupta told TODAY. "Right now, we are really encouraging her," Gupta said. "She is going to breast-feed the babies.

omgwtfbbq -- breast-feeding eight babies??? They better get some supplemental nutrition, or they won't last long.

My great great grandmother used to kill squirrels and cook them up for my dad and his sisters. My dad said she was a great shot. I knew her when I was little, She was the toughest lady I ever met. She mowed her 4 acres on a hill with a push mower into her 80s. She had skin like leather.

My thoughts zachry. Delivered at 31 weeks was most likely for distress, for someone in the bunch. In that case delivery is within minutes of incision, for a good surgeon anyway. The part I don't get is the 40 something spectators.
