Boy Thrown Through Window By Exploding Toilet 15

A 13-year-old boy was blown out of his toilet, and through a window by sparking a lighter just moments after spraying the room with air freshener. "I sprayed the toilet because it smelled. Then I began fiddling with a lighter my dad left in there and suddenly there was this big orange whoosh! of flame. I woke up outside with my clothes burned off me and smelling like a barbecue," said Dennis. Remind me to never have barbecue at this kid's house.

Woman In Cow Suit Arrested For Running Amok 3

Monday night for Michelle Allen consisted of dressing in a cow costume, chasing children, and urinating on her neighbor's porch. You know, the usual. When police arrived and told her to go home and stay there, she did what any of us would do — she ran out into traffic. The police promptly arrested her for disorderly conduct. The officer's report notes that she was verbally abusive on the trip to jail and smelled of alcohol. Unlike our office, the police did not speculate on why she was wearing the cow costume.

Comment Why Palm bought BeOS (not Be, Inc.) (Score 1) 676

But that brings an interesting question: did Palm buy Be for their technology or mostly because they could sue Microsoft? which 1)is their competitor and 2)has a lot of money to give them. I hope they bought it for their technology.

Palm bought BeOS for the technology.

Palm only bought Be's intellectual property. Palm did not buy Be, Inc., which still exists as a separate entity (albeit one which no longer owns BeOS). Palm is *not* a party to this lawsuit.

I'm (still) a Be shareholder, and I know whereof I speak.
