​The most incredible action at Saturday's Texas 5A Division II high school football championship game occurred after the final whistle blew: An out-of-control electric cart plowed into a group of people who were standing in the middle of the field at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Rivals reports Willie Amendola, head coach of the Dekaney Wildcats, was giving an interview after his team's 34-14 victory when the cart--which looked to be loaded with yard markers--careened driverless into him and a group of press, photographers, and stadium staff. Video after the jump.

Not the sergeant's finger.

​Sergeant Michael Miller, 13-year NYPD officer, gets some version of the little Dutch boy award for this story, which, fortunately, he is alive to tell. Miller had pulled over a speeding livery cab in Brooklyn on Saturday and asked Eugene Graves, 30, along with another passenger, to step out of the car. The friend ran off, and Graves struggled -- "too long," according to Miller, who'd felt a gun in the man's pants during a patdown. Graves pulled out the gun, pressing it to Miller's abdomen, and Miller, in the heat of the moment, somehow managed to wedge his finger between the hammer and the cylinder of the gun, preventing it from firing.

Bees in Little Italy in May

​It's been a season of bees, so to speak, with swarms making news in Little Italy and across our fevered nation. And now the otherwise humdrum Flatiron District, DNA Info reports, has been hit with not one but two giant swarms of honeybees -- one at the Perfume Warehouse (makes sense) at 22 W. 30th, and another around the corner in front of BeadKraft bead store. Andrew Cote, our local bee expert, got a call to his New York City Beekeepers Association "swarm hotline" yesterday and headed out to rescue the first bee swarm, which weighed 4 pounds and comprised 15,000-some bees.

​One morning, with a sudden burst of determination, you excavate your closet. Goodbye to the pants you hoped would fit again some day, the funky necklace you only wore once, the precariously high heels still nestled in their box. You throw it all into a big duffel bag or two, then haul it over to Buffalo Exchange, the "eco-friendly" buy/sell/trade vintage store. Yay! Your clothes will get a new home! You'll get cash or store credit! Plus, you'll have more closet space for multiple new outfits, just in time for all those long, sweaty, action-packed summer days. But wait -- don't get too excited yet. First, your clothes have to pass the test.

​Rejection hurts. Before you groan and sign and say "I know, I know, let me tell you about the time you-know-who did you-know-what to me," let us clarify. Rejection actually physically hurts. Like dropping something on your toe or getting lemon juice in a papercut hurts. This is true, according to science, and according to the New York Times, which reports on how badly rejection hurts, and how science knows this.

​Bikini wax: Two words synonymous with pain. Vodka: One word synonymous with staving off the pain, at least until the next day when the pain is worse than ever, depending on how much vodka is involved. However! A bikini wax is brief, and if you can get drunk beforehand, maybe it won't hurt so much. That's what an intrepid DNA Info reporter (anything for a story) found when she went for a "vodka bikini wax" and was, reportedly, "so knocked out by my vodka shot that I barely noticed what's normally a vivid experience. Sleepy and calm, I barely noticed the rip and pull of summer's most painful ritual -- the dreaded bikini wax." Why has no one thought of this before?
