A man in Illinois has been charged after he allegedly shot himself while he was asleep.

Mark Dicara said he was dreaming and shot what he thought was a burgular, but awoke to find he had instead shot himself in his own leg.

Police said the gun used was a .357 Magnum and did not hurt anyone but Dicara.

"The round discharged from the firearm went through Dicara's leg and lodged itself into Dicara's bedding."
"Fortunately, the round did not travel through a shared wall with Dicara's neighbors."

Dicara was charged, as he already had his Firearm Owners Identification Card revoked before this incident.

Dicara has also been charged with reckless use of a firearm.

Well, he succeeded at shooting something, people pointed out.

So good it might as well be a new sport.

Or a new term for an old issue.

Others used this incident to make a point about common rhetoric used by gun owner's organizations.

Or just pointing out that maybe not everyone should have one.


Some people found his whole story to be a little suspicious.


The punishment was the act itself, was it not?

Dicara will appear in court later this month.

We've all heard the advice that when you want to start a new habit, you have to give yourself time for that habit to "stick," and you also shouldn't try to take on too many new habits at once.

While the easy answer to that logic is that it would be too much change at once and too much "new" to remember, it also could take the fun out of the new practice.

Giant AI-Generated Christmas Mural Removed After People Notice Some Truly Unhinged Details

Though many of us are worried about the prevalence of AI and its potential to take away the jobs of professional writers, artists, and designers, one truly haunted Christmas mural proves that AI is not ready to take on the responsibility just yet.

Ample theories are available for how this unhinged mural came to be, but a favorite is that an upper executive didn't want to approve an art budget for this year's mural and suggested AI instead, so a designer planned the worst option possible. Or someone turned immediately to AI, barely checked their work, and just hit the "approve" button.

People who have not performed in front of a live audience might assume that adequate rehearsal time and production planning ensure things will go smoothly.

But seasoned performers will tell you that mistakes happen, no matter how well-rehearsed or fine-tuned the project is. When the mistake is obvious enough that the audience becomes aware of it, the best thing to do is laugh it off or incorporate the mistake into the program as much as possible to keep the show going.
