Circuses, No Bread

An Australian basketball team had their t-shirt launcher confiscated by the police:

For more than a decade an air-powered piece of PVC pipe has, without fear or favour, fired t-shirts into a delighted crowd at home games of the Townsville Crocodiles. But no more. The National Basketball League team was this week forced to surrender its homemade t-shirt cannon to police, after it was deemed a category B weapon.

"The ballistics unit informed the venue that essentially it was a category B weapon and it needed to be handed in, otherwise people in possession of it would be prosecuted,"

There are no statistics on how many people have been killed by flying t-shirts, but I'm guessing it's a non-fractional number between 1 and -1.

Sounds to me like the police need something productive to occupy their time. I suggest tracking down the politicians who passed this idiotic law and stringing them up by their nutsacks.
