From the What The Shit Files

by David Wong

A man preparing a race course through a park in the Netherlands was slightly injured when he fell into a pit lined with sharpened spikes — the third such trap found in the area this year, police said Monday.

The pit — lined with 15-30-centimeter (6-12-inch) metal spikes embedded in a concrete block — had been carefully hidden under leaves and branches in a park near Venlo, a town near the German border, police said.

“A person could fall into this, but also a dog, a child, people walking, bikers, motorcyclists — anybody,” police spokeswoman Nicole Theuns. She said the pit was about 1.5 meters (5 feet) deep and 80 centimeters (2 1/2 feet) wide.

The world is a fascinating place.

    I know I always check my race routes for booby traps. And my car.
