Yesterday a number of bloggers commented on a recently quoted factoid from the Guradian that as many as a 10% of currently living Europeans may have been conceived in Ikea beds.

Today the Guardian is reporting that mob-driven pandemonium resulted when 6,000 sofa-obsessed British furniture hooligans descended upon an Edmonton Ikea, drawn by a midnight sale...

As the glass doors opened, the crowd surged forward, overwhelming the meagre security presence and resulting in a frightening crush in which at least four people were injured and many more suffered heat exhaustion.

There was further pandemonium inside, as shoppers raced and pushed each other to be the first to claim bargains. Witnesses said they saw shoppers threatened with wooden mallets and fights breaking out over sofas.

I have two words for that lot: "Chill, Winston."

Thanks Matty!
