Two pedestrians were struck by blow darts while walking across the Golden Gate Bridge Friday, the California High Patrol said.

About 2:45 p.m., a CHP officer who was patrolling the bridge on bicycle was flagged down by a man who had been hit in the thigh. The dart, which was about 5 inches long, appeared to have been fired from a blow gun, authorities said. It had sunk about two inches into the man’s skin.

Well, if we're going to start conspiracy theories, his dinner or drink were poisoned.

Pass it on.

Could’ve been an air gun.

That's a pretty thick-skinned fellow right there.

I read an article somewhere, I don’t know where because I am all over the internet, that ISIS was giving instructions on how to make nasty biological weapons (like out of feces and salt, and letting it sit for several days in heat with some sort of yeast). Something akin to trying to create a bubonic plague sort of thing that could be made at home.

Anyways, the article mentioned that blowgun darts would be a method of delivery, as would public toilet tanks, where they could put floating tupperware containers of the stuff to fester and since you were sitting on the toilet, you would be inhaling it, and not realize what it was (because public toilets stink anyhow), and you would become a carrier of it and then spread it around.

I read a lot of off the wall stuff, mostly out of curiosity to see “where is this article going”, but the blowgun dart thing did stick out a bit.

I have one of those blow guns. Not much range but no noise. Great fun.

This is dangerous. It might not be merely a prank.
