by Taylor Berman
Some advice: Always take your gun out of your pocket before you take off your pants. Otherwise you might end up like William Rood, who shot himself in the chin as he attempted to disrobe Sunday evening.

The Gradient Markings On This Ruler Are Visible On Light or Dark Paper
by Andrew Liszewski
Here's a simple but rather clever design improvement for clear plastic rulers that most of us would have probably welcomed back in grade school. Nendo's new Contrast Ruler features metric markings that fade from black to white, so no matter what color of surface you're working on and shows through, you can always easily discern the tick marks.

Pistolet the Boston Terrier Has a Cleft Palate -- And It Is Awesome
Meet little Pistol -- or Pistolet, if you will. He was rescued by Wonder Dog Rescue in San Francisco, but don't expect to see him among the available dogs. That's because Pistolet has special needs and will be in the loving care of Wonder Dog for the rest of his life as a mascot for the organization.
If you can get past the cuteness, you'll see that Pistolet's nose is not quite like the noses of most Boston Terriers. That's because, like Lentil the French Bulldog, Pistolet has a severe cleft palate. For many puppies, such a deformity would be a death sentence, but the folks at Wonder Dog decided to give Pistolet a second chance. He had surgery in June to allow him to live an easier life.
However, while the little Boston Terrier is doing well, he still suffers from other birth defects, such as a weak hind leg, and will probably end up smaller than your average Boston.
But that doesn't make him any less deserving of a great life, and from the looks of his Facebook page, he brings joy to everyone who meets him. Imagine what the world would be like without that?
It would be pretty dismal, which is why we're glad Wonder Dog saw the adorableness in Pistolet's unique features. And look! Pistolet's "look" has inspired a fashion statement that is sweeping San Francisco!
