it's been a while since we posted an "only in America" story. so long in fact, that we actually had to look up what umber we had gotten up to. But now we know. We are on number 4. And have a special treat in store for you:
According to our sources*, Bubba Ludwig, a US citizen from Illinois has recently acquired a gun permit. Now that in itself isn't enough to make headline news (especially on such a fantastic site as chiboa.blogspot.com), i hear you say. What if we then went on to tell you tat Bubba is yet to celebrate his first birthday? Yep, that's right. An form (filled out by his dad), a toothless baby photo and a squiggle by way of a signature was all it took to make 10-month-old Bubba an official gun owner (not to mention the "adorable addition to his baby book")!!
You think we're making it up, don't you?
Nah, we're not creative enough for such absurdities. As a matter of fact, this story is a direct import from the BBC Americas Page.

*the BBC. Which we love. And which doesn't explicitly endorse our cross promotion. But also does not condemn it. So all in all, we can but thank the BBC for spreading the news! And we'll do our part to stretch out just that little bit further.
