The prosecutor has vowed to appeal, to have the charges reinstated. We have the original story, and the story where Childs tells his side, for those who want a refresher.

People Emit Visible Light 347

In fact, virtually all living creatures emit very weak light, which is thought to be a byproduct of biochemical reactions involving free radicals."

World of Warcraft and Counter-Strike... those that hook the most patients (boys)

Online chat programs more often hook girls

Why am I not surprised that the girls like to talk and the boys like to play combat (remember cowboys and indians? cops and robbers?).

Very indicative of our society as a whole. Just sayin' . . .
