Well, there’s a lively philosophical cafe house discussion and then there’s this fight to the death between two people high on their respective drugs. Oh, and crack won:
Loniesh Veasey told Tacoma police she was high on crack cocaine when she argued with a friend, slashed her to death with a razor and swapped shoes with the woman before heading to the hospital to get stitches in her hand. [...]
Veasey told police she was high on crack cocaine and Thomas was using heroin just before “an argument erupted over the types of drugs each used,” according to court documents.
She said Thomas stuck her in the palm with a syringe, sparking the fight, and then cut the back of Veasey’s hand with a razor.

There’s a new giant crack in the desert of Ethiopia, and some scientists think that it will eventually create a new ocean:
A 35-mile rift in the desert of Ethiopia will likely become a new ocean eventually, researchers now confirm.
The crack, 20 feet wide in spots, opened in 2005 and some geologists believed then that it would spawn a new ocean. But that view was controversial, and the rift had not been well studied.
A new study involving an international team of scientists and reported in the journal Geophysical Research Letters finds the processes creating the rift are nearly identical to what goes on at the bottom of oceans, further indication a sea is in the region’s future.
Gothamist reader “Wayne” took this photo of a rat apparently stuck trying to emerge from a crack in the pavement. Other readers went to work with Photoshopped explanations and fun interpretations almost immediately.

Jeff Snyder was sick and tired of all the drug dealing going on near his building,
so he painted this message on his window — in a language the dealers might understand — hoping a little media exposure would focus the cops’ attention.
I don’t know if it did that, but it caught my eye:
DEER Crack Dealer, you kin sell Crack on This Block And The York City Police Will Not Stop You. They Fear You!
Crack Rules!!
