Ryan vs Dorkman (from RayAlome) – a pretty interesting light saber fight and an interesting ending that I didn’t really expect.
Although my next thought had nothing to do with the above video besides the fact it’s about light sabers, it got me thinking on what the reasoning was for not using 2 light sabers, but 1 instead. As demonstrated in Art of the Saber and other Star Wars film, there have been countless battles where 2 light sabers were used against 1.
In real sword fights, 2 swords usually meaning lighter swords and faster movement. 1 sword that requires both hands usually means heavy and strength. However, clearly light sabers are well, light and it doesn’t seem for those who use it with both hands are easily overpowering their opponents. So my question remains, why would you ever want to only use 1 light saber?

“Monster rabbit” targets vegetable patch – It sounds like a job for Wallace and Gromit. A “monster” rabbit has apparently been rampaging through vegetable patches in a small village in northern England, ripping up leeks, munching turnips and infuriating local gardeners. In an uncanny resemblance to the plot of the hit animated film “Wallace & Gromit in the Curse of the Were-Rabbit,” angry horticulturists in Felton, near Newcastle, have now mounted an armed guard to protect their prized cabbages and parsnips. “They call it the monster. It’s very big — it’s nearly the size of a dog,” said Joan Smith, whose son Jeff owns one of the plots under attack. See an actual picture of the giant hare (from Cari).

Police return $42,000 thrown out with trash – A Japanese man wept for joy this week when he recovered 5 million yen ($42,210) in cash his wife had mistakenly thrown out with the household rubbish. The 35-year-old man had withdrawn the money from a bank account but, fearing it would be stolen, he hid it inside a refuse bag which he placed in a rubbish bin, Japanese media said. Why do people like hiding valuable things inside the trash can? I remember freshman year in college, someone lost their family ring because their roommate thought he’d be nice help empty his trash.

The fish that hunts on land – Zoologists have found a remarkable fish that can wriggle from Africa’s tropical swamps to snaffle a snack on land. The eel catfish, Channallabes apus, catches unsuspecting victims by arching upwards and descending upon prey, trapping an insect against the ground before sucking it up. It performs this trick thanks to a bendy neck supported by specialized vertebrae, which allows it to hover over prey without needing fins or arms to hold up its head. Do check out the video.
