    I like the caption attached to the picture of the thrown shoe - "the Molotov cocktail of the 21st century?"

    Not that I don't chuckle a little bit at these things, but how long before someone embeds something sharp or pointy in the shoe and seriously injures someone?

    "This is obviously the work of the evil lying separatist, the Dalai Lama, and his brainwashed followers." - pending statement from the Chinese government and/or its embassy in London.

    Do we separate it into "flip-flop", "sneaker" and "steel-toed boot" categories? :)

    Major League pitching scouts have cancelled their flights to Europe and will focus on the Middle East.
