That's gotta hurt. Motorist Paul Schloneger, after playing a game of cat and mouse in Hollywood, Florida with fellow motorist Chris Pape (BMW vs. SUV-style), got so pissed off that he slashed at Pape's neck with a machete. Yeah, now that's road rage. Pape didn't die... he's on bed rest with several stitches in his neck.

But even if he did die, he could sure go in style. At a music marketing festival at the Jacob Javits Center in NYC, Gene Simmons of the band KISS introduced the new KISS coffin. Yep, you heard me right. It's a big, black coffin with the KISS logo emblazoned on it and a crowd shot of a concert as well as the faces of the four original members in Destroyer-era makeup. I know that there are some fans out there who might want this, but can you imagine attending a wake (visitation, etc.) and seeing someone's body lying in a KISS coffin? Creepy. Even if you're not planning on dying anytime soon, you can still purchase one of these coffins and use it as a beer cooler. Yep, the model that Simmons was showing off was filled with ice and cold beverages. I'm really not sure which is creepier - KISS coffin used as an actual coffin or KISS coffin used as a beverage cooler. Ick.
