A photograph, posted on social media, shows a Florida man's unique way of propping his car hood after his battery died. The tweet, posted by Tampa Bay Times writer Zachary T. Sampson, shows a car hood being held up by a samurai sword. Sampson, along with fellow Times reporter Langston Taylor, stopped to help give a man a jump and were surprised to see a huge sword being used to prop the hood.
