If you’ve got $25,000 burning a hole in your pocket — maybe less if you negotiate — you might want to head up to Spring Hill to get this one-of-a-kind motorbike.It’s featured in a Tampa Bay Craigslist ad, which has this text (and yup, the all caps is theirs):

Ali’s loss is minor compared to Ethan Schneider’s. He and a buddy were trying to impress friends at a party with a trick where he’d hold a kielbasa in his mouth while his buddy sliced it with a katana. You already know where this is going…
Here’s what TMZ reports about the aftermath:

Today is July 1st, which is Canada Day, Canada’s national holiday!
On July 1, 1867, the British North America Act was signed, uniting three colonies into one country under the British Empire and called it Canada.
