Beware of Nerd

“It’s late, I get up and look, and he is here. And I am like, go away, you don’t live here anymore,” said Eugene Thompson. But his girlfriend let her estranged husband into her Katy, Texas, house anyway, and Thompson, by his own account, went to the bedroom. The husband followed, and Thompson drew one of his replica swords. “He just walked right into the point of the sword. I don’t know if he thought it was a toy,” said Thompson. Thompson got the husband out of the house, but he broke back in. Law enforcement said the men then fought, and the husband suffered two stab wounds. The sword, a replica of one from “The Legend of Zelda” video game series, was apparently not a toy; the husband was hospitalized in serious condition. (AC/KPRC Houston) ...At least he wasn’t chopped into eight bits.
