When we noticed one of Friday's news stories on SooToday.com getting thousands of extra hits today, we knew exactly where to look.

We immediately went to Fark.com, the satirical U.S. website that loves poking fun at some of the quirky, small-town news items we post.

Sure enough, we found we'd been Farked again.

This time, the Farkers were getting their tighty-whiteys in a knot over Stephen Woods, the guy accused of getting part of downtown Sault Ste. Marie shut down on Thursday when he accidentally shot an arrow out his window.

Of course, Farkers are not always the brightest bulbs in the chandelier, so they're mistaking our community with the Michigan Soo and they're quite perplexed about our Canadian gun storage laws.
