Well, this guy could well top that: http://www.azcentral.com/offbeat/articles/...m-gun03-ON.html Man shoots off finger while using bathroom Canadian Press Jan. 3, 2006 04:34 PM NORTH VANCOUVER, B.C. - The RCMP warned about the dangers of gunplay Tuesday after a man shot off his finger in a toilet. Police said they got a call early New Year's Day after a man was seen bleeding profusely from his hand at an apartment building. When they arrived, there was no sign of the man, but a large amount of blood was found on an apartment door. In searching the apartment, police said they found a shell casing on the bathroom floor and a large pool of blood in front of the toilet. advertisement "Apparently the male was playing with a handgun while using the bathroom and inadvertently shot his finger off," the RCMP said in a new release. The RCMP also warned of the dangers of playing with guns while using the toilet, saying "it was not a good idea." A 21-year-old man was charged with a number of weapons-related offences stemming from the incident.

http://apnews.myway.com/article/20051230/D8EQMUI80.html Pack of Angry Chihuahuas Attack Officer Dec 30, 12:32 PM (ET) FREMONT, Calif. (AP) - A pack of angry Chihuahuas attacked a police officer who was escorting a teenager home after a traffic stop, authorities said. The officer suffered minor injuries, including bites to his ankle, Detective Bill Veteran said. The five Chihuahuas escaped the 17-year-old boy's home and rushed the officer in the doorway Thursday, authorities said. The teenager had been detained after the traffic incident. The officer was treated at a hospital and returned to work less than two hours later.

http://www.local6.com/news/5784303/detail.html One of those stories that you just can't explain away... Toddler's Talking Elmo Book Asks 'Who Wants To Die?' Apparently, it's supposed to say... and I'm not entirely sure this isn't even creepier... "Who wants to try to go potty?" It's probably a random glitch where the speech stops at "Who wants to try-" and it sounds like "die."

http://apnews.myway.com/article/20060104/D8EU2N6O0.html Artist Binds Feet in Desert, Loses Key Jan 4, 3:09 PM (ET) BAKER, Calif. (AP) - An artist who chained his legs together to draw a picture of the image hopped 12 hours through the desert after realizing he lost the key and couldn't unlock the restraints, authorities said Wednesday. Trevor Corneliusien, 26, tightly wrapped and locked a long, thick chain around his bare ankles Tuesday while camping in an abandoned mine shaft about five miles north of Baker, San Bernardino County sheriff's Deputy Ryan Ford said. "It took him over 12 hours because he had to hop through boulders and sand," Ford said. "He did put on his shoes before hopping." The artist, who is from the area, often sketched images inside mines in the Southwest. He had finished his drawing Tuesday when he realized he didn't have the key. Corneliusien finally made it to a gas station and called the sheriff's department, which sent paramedics and deputies with bolt cutters. His legs were bruised but he was otherwise in good health, Ford said. The artist did not have a listed phone number and could not be reached for comment. And the drawing? "He brought it down with him," Ford said. "It was a pretty good depiction of how a chain would look wrapped around your legs." So, let's get this straight. He felt it necessary to capture the pure essence of having his legs bound by a chain by SEQUESTERING himself deep in a cave and THEN do it?! Surely, he could have achieved the same thing by ringing the neighbor's and saying, "I am going to bind my legs with a chain so I can sketch it. Should you hear me screaming, please provide aid."

http://www.theage.com.au/news/world/woman-...6050339590.html Woman marries dolphin Jerusalem January 2, 2006 AdvertisementAdvertisement Sharon Tendler met Cindy 15 years ago. She said it was love at first sight. This week she finally took the plunge and proposed. The lucky "guy" plunged right back. In a modest ceremony at Dolphin Reef in the southern Israeli port of Eilat, Tendler, a 41-year-old British citizen, apparently became the world's first person to "marry" a dolphin. Dressed in a white dress, a veil and pink flowers in her hair, Tendler got down on one knee on the dock and gave Cindy a kiss. And a piece of herring. "It's not a perverted thing. I do love this dolphin. He's the love of my life," she said Saturday, upon her return to London. Tendler, who said she imports clothes and promotes rock bands in England, has visited Israel several times a year since first meeting the dolphin. When asked in the past if she had a boyfriend, she would always reply, "No. I'm going to end up with Cindy." On Wednesday, she made it official, sort of. While she acknowledged the "wedding" had no legal bearing she did say it reflected her deep feelings toward the bottlenosed, 35-year-old object of her affection. "It's not a bad thing. It just something that we did because I love him, but not in the way that you love a man. It's just a pure love that I have for this animal," she said. While she still kept open the option of "marrying human" at some stage, she said for now she was strictly a "one-dolphin woman". She's hardly the jealous type, though. "He will still play with all the other girls there," she said, of their prenuptial agreement. "I hope he has a lot of baby dolphins with the other dolphins. The more dolphins the better." - AP I love how it tries to be an equally opportunistic offense. BTW, some news outlets have spun this story by saying the dolphin is a dolphine. No, the dolphin is male... the woman is still a loon.

No, Davros is probably selling it. After not having even a bit part in last season's Who, he needs the spending money.

Well, UltraISO, and other apps, never have a perfect run with injecting files into existing images to start off with. I only do it to inject the current monthly/year system drive images into the bootable rescue disc media so I can save 1 disc. Thus far, that's worked. As for using UltraISO to build DVD's, I don't think I ever tried to use it to build one from VIDEO_TS contents. Just data DVD's and injecting files into existing images.
-
One caveat I have encountered with UltraISO and DVD Video discs. If you try to insert files into the disc, i.e. you want to add, god forbid, Interactual's install files to the root folder, the resulting image with the injected files did not play in stand alone DVD players in my test. And, no, I know injecting new .VOB and .IFO contents into VIDEO_TS may be problematic I'm talking about injecting files into the image in general.

Sony will just use the defense they were putting spyware on suspected terrorist computers only. You see, they know the terrorists copy CD's of the Van Zandt Brothers and the like all the time. So, once they put the CD in to copy it, the tracking of their activities can start.

"And Hank, the Wonder Goose, in-" I never actually saw her during first run Tonight Shows. I only got into The Tonight Show in 1988. One of the reasons why he had to retire soon, because I started watching it. I think Teresea Ganzel took over for Wayne after she drowned. I only ever saw Wayne in the Carson Comedy Classics that ran on the Family Channel from 1996 to 1997. Taped those, too. Although I do remember Carol Wayne from The Best Chest In The West!

I had asked once about a type of gum I couldn't remember. Turned out to be Freshen Up. While going through a list of 1980's commercials, found a .WMV of a Freshen Up ad! http://www.x-entertainment.com/downloads/c...als/freshup.wmv
