Weird news of the day: a middle school basketball coach was fired after it became clear that he forced two kids to behead a pair of pigeons that were getting in the way of practice in December. The dead pigeons were found floating in a pond on campus; when questioned, the coach admitted that it was his doing. He must be a really scary coach. The kids are still traumatized and the pigeons are still headless.
