If you think fidget spinners can be dangerous toys, wait until you come across a kid playing with a toothpick crossbow - and then take cover.
The new gadget toy appears to be selling like hotcakes in China - much to the horror of concerned parents across the country.

I saw that article. Seriously WTF?!? What makes it worse is that the toothpick and be replaced by something stronger eg nail. Either way, projectiles are a nightmare.

That end paragraph is indicative of BBC articles now, even ones on political issues. It'll eventually get them into trouble.

There was always a teacher who had a childhood friend who'd lost an eye, wasn't there? And he'd rant about it like it had happened in 'Nam lmao.

Why did I instantly think 'Drow'? ;)

On a more human level it's like Spud Gun 2.0 ;)

Can't believe anyone thought that was a good idea.
