    But we have Jerry Jeff Walker and Ted Nugent

    As well as the legacies of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Warren Zevon

    Canada sounds dangerous:

    A passenger traveling on a bus across Canada's vast Western plains stabbed, gutted and decapitated a man seated next to him in an unexplained attack, a witness told media Thursday.

    The victim had been sleeping before he was repeatedly stabbed in the chest by a man with a large knife, witness Garnet Caton told public broadcaster CBC.

    The other 35 passengers and driver were jolted by "blood-curdling screams" and fled. "He must have stabbed him 50 times or 60 times," said Caton.

    When Caton and two others returned to check on the victim, he said they saw the attacker "cutting the guy's head off and gutting him."

    "While we were watching ... he calmly walked up to the front (of the bus) with the head in his hand and the knife and just calmly stared at us and dropped the head right in front of us."

    It's hot, humid, and it's been more than six weeks since the end of Hockey Night in Canada, with two more months until the new season starts again. Canada Dangerous? - ya got that right. If folks don't get some of this, they tend to get a little edgy and irritable, hence:

    And beating the Wings? Note which team jerseys spend more time flat on the ice (refer to vid at the link provided above).

    Default Thanks for the link. I've always admired Canadian non-violence

    and the fact that you chose Hockey and LaCrosse as national sports to emphasize that commitment...

    Question interesting

    Is it just me or does this sound like some kind of ME type assasination. I mean the dude just up and goes to all the trouble to behead plus all the stabbing then just gives up. Wonder if we'll find out who was killed and things will start to click?

    Very good question. This sounds like a case for The Head Detective.
