Benchun Liu, 38, a post-doctoral fellow at the University of California at San Francisco in the urology department, was arrested on Friday for attempted murder. His victim? Mei Cao, who works as a lab research associate in the same department. Liu, a Chinese citizen, has since put on immigration hold and is still in custody at SF county jail. Cao, however, after a brief stint in the hospital, is doing just fine. (CBS 5)

I've long maintained that doctoral researchers are no better than gang members.

Is Mei Cao a sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot à la Franklin M. Hart Jr from 9 to 5?

Shit. That's just the way it be in motherfucking urology. You gotta roll hard.

You made my day with the "9 to 5" reference!!

The story's bizarre and awful, but that accompanying image? Best. Image. Ever.

Coworkers told police that Liu was sick and tired of Cao constantly taking the piss out of him.

fizzandpop...hilarious!

Are any bodies missing from the morgue?

i sense a love triangle!!

i believe you mean his victim, not his suspect.

Fizz's comment should definitely be added to the front-page portion, thanks.

See, it's graphics like this one that make me love you.

I am also willing to get you drunk to get to any number of bases.

Just sayin'.
