Hey Guys-

I wanted to warn you about something important because of what has recently happened to me. This week I went to Manhattan to meet my girl in a neutral zone because of all our fights and when I was waiting for her outside of Hagen Dazs an icicle fell off a building and landed on my noggin

. It was really scary and I had to go to the hospital for stitches. My girl says that I could have a good lawsuit but I don't feel that it was worth damaging my scalp even if they gave me a cool million

Ive always thought those long icecycles would make a good murder weapon. Has it ever been done?

I believe an icicle was used as a weapon in a Agatha Christie novel if I'm not mistaken.

I saw a cut from Grey's Anatomy on E's The Soup where someone slips and gets an icicle to the abdomen after it falls on her....it was awful/funny. I usually don't have to worry to much about that down in our area (ATL)

I believe the icicle had been kept in a flask, and they found a tea leaf in a puddle of water in the steam room or something. Might have been sherlock holmes though...

Yah... one time i was walking down 34th street and the same thing happened. Although the icicles didnt hit me or anyone else, they would have done some serious damage. Try to walk closer to the street, rather than closer to the buildings.
