[Other] The not so funny pic thread (some NSFL or gore)

Took this photo for a post on Reddit. Thought the forum might find it halfway interesting. What you may randomly find in Bear's pockets (or glove box of car) on a given day.
 
About two weeks back I was nearly stuck by lightning. Hit a hydro pole 15 feet away while I was waiting to cross the street. Jumped a good 2, maybe 3 feet when it happened and then just couldn't stop laughing about it once I'd realized I was ok. Funny thing is it rarely, and I mean rarely, this is only the second time I can recall it doing so since moving here four years ago, thunderstorms on the island but we've had quite a few this year.
 
That many blades IS a touch excessive... and this is coming from a confirmed weaponophile (for lack of a better word...)

Our sergeant-armorer is a little Filipino guy who is sudden death with just about anything, but he keeps only two blades on him - one Benchmade folding blade, and a little angled sheath knife that he can strike with and put away faster than you can see.
 
Clarification: Any ONE of those blades would be in my pocket at a given time. Save the one on the carbiner which is on my keychain.

Sin: Knives are just something I have always carried, they are useful tools and at least once got me out of a dangerous situation. As for the thing what lives in my glove box often... exercising my right to keep/bare in a lawful manner.

Does he perchance do Eskrima?
 
Huxley was right when it came to Modern America and England (a good bit of the West.) Orwell was right when it came to Eastern Europe, China, SE Asia, and large swaths of Africa and the Middle East.
