IMAGINE a Christmas gettogether with this family.

Those who believe in karma may be comforted by an incident in Tennesse, USA last week where a man was run over by a lawn mower while attempting to kill his son with a chainsaw.

The Bristol Herald Courier says 76-year-old Douglas Ferguson had to have his leg amputated due to severe injuries caused by the mower, which his son was operating at the time of the attack.

Detectives said the pair had an ongoing bitter feud, with the notso-happy family unlikely to get together for the upcoming festive season because the father will be awaiting trial for second-degree murder and violating probation.

THE inclusion of erectile dysfunction drugs in some liquids sold in the USA for use with electronic cigarettes has seen the Food and Drug Administration issue a stern reproof - not to mention sparking a host of predictably pun-riddled reports about the incident.

The unapproved products were reportedly advertised along with labels and images using drug brand names, such as “E-Cialis HelloCig E-Liquid,” with some news outlets saying the FDA was “throbbing with rage” as a result.

That’s not all - another story said the agency had a “bone to pick” with the vendor, further warning that a stiff penalty was likely to be imposed.
