You're talking about the rotten shark, right? Quite disgusting really...
Talking about geeks, here's something for any roleplaying gamers out there. It's a true story, taking place not long ago in a suburb somewhere here in Sweden, can't remember where.
A neighbour calls the police claiming to have seen several people waving handguns at each other in an apartment across the street. Naturally the police reacts forcefully and within minutes a SWAT-equivalent team is on its way, kevlar suits, helmets, submachine guns, the whole kit.
Once they get there a quick look through the mailbox confirms the neighbour's story, so without further ado they break down the door and barge in on the baffled perpetrators in dramatic fashion. After a few frantic moments the situation is under control and the juvenile delinquents are unarmed.
Fact is however, that the young "criminals" in question and their "victims" had been playing Vampire (the Masquerade, RPG) live, happily uncaring and unknowing about their neighbour's reactions. It seems they were playing out a sort of hostage scene using life-like soft airguns.
This event has led the to police posting an official warning not to go to such extremes as this when playing live action roleplaying games where innocent bystanders can misinterpret what they see.
You would do best to remember this when waving guns in your buddies' faces in friendly fashion.
