Okay, this is from last week, and we haven't heard about how effectively the plan panned out, but organizers of a vintage car rally in New Zealand brought in a 40-member karate club to defend the pricey relics from attacking Keas, parrots with exceptionally sharp beaks and a penchant for shiny objects. Why this immediately reminds us of the scene in The Story of Ricky where Yukari Oshima somehow materializes out of the ground and kicks a dog in half for no good reason is obvious. Well, to us, at least.
