| #10 "A dangerous internet challenge is gaining popularity. The videos are popping up on YouTube, showing people pulling guns on their friends. It's called the "No lackin' challenge." Memphis police said a 17-year-old was shot in the head Thursday morning while participating in the challenge. He was sitting with his friends in a restaurant when he was accidentally shot." |

| #9 ^ That'd be the "No lackin' challenge," in which, apparently, pals draw and point pistols at one another as a bonding exercise or conversation starter or something. A curious quirk of King Haakon: If ever he caught a man lackin', He'd lend 'im an axe And they'd practice their whacks, Cuz the King couldn't countenance slackin'! |

| #6 It seems to mostly be gang members or wannabe's. So if they remove each other from the gene pool, it's a win. Think of it as evolution in action. |

| #5 Probably about as common as swallowing Tide pods, james. That is to say, a few idiots posted videos of their friends from which the press ginned up a story. |
