Man Uses Hedgehog as Weapon

Yes, the title does read: man uses hedgehog as weapon. Just had to share this article I found on BBC news.

NZ man 'used hedgehog as weapon'

A man in New Zealand has been charged with using a hedgehog as a weapon, the New Zealand Herald has reported.
Police said William Singalargh, 27, had hurled the hedgehog about 5m (16ft) at a 15-year-old boy.
"It hit the victim in the leg, causing a large, red welt and several puncture marks," said Senior Sgt Bruce Jenkins, in the North Island town of Whakatane.
It was unclear whether the hedgehog was still alive when it was thrown, though it was dead when collected as evidence.
The police spokesman said the suspect was arrested "for assault with a weapon, namely the hedgehog."
Mr Singalargh is due to appear in court on 17 April. If convicted, he faces up to five years in prison.

PhillM tip-of-the-day:
Sometimes on small fresnel units I like to use medium or large sized paperclips to clip the gels to the barn doors. Just make sure you don't get the paperclips that are coated with rubber or paint or anything that will melt.
