Something Shiny

Here are some random links that came up from September 3rd to September 4th that didn’t quite merit their own post:

• Pears grown in the shape of the Buddha Given the color, I'd think aliens would be better, but still an interesting idea. Are those screws around the perimeter? That has got to be a pricey pear…
• Man charged after firing cannonball through neighbor's house
• The Onion Beats Investigative Journalism On Google News Sadly hilarious

Did I miss anything exciting? Let me know in the comments.
