Check out these two recent stories:

#1. A suicide bomber in Moscow gets a spam text message, that sets off her suicide belt prematurely, killing her: http://www.zdnet.com/blog/security/killer-text-a-russian-suicide-bomber-blows-up-by-accident/8015?tag=mantle_skin;content Never thought I'd be grateful for spam, eh?

#2. Closer to home (i.e. my state - today) bad guy holds up a bank, uses a woman as a human shield, slips on the snow, woman breaks free, cops shoot & kill bad guy: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/01/28/police-shoot-md-robbery-suspect-snow-slip/# Thank goodness there's no sign of global warming anywhere in sight here in Maryland...

A little bit cleaner version of the video is here: http://www.theblaze.com/stories/shocking-vid-police-shoot-robber-using-human-shield/

It shows the dye pack going off and the BG chasing the hostage a bit longer than the previous Fox News article. They cut it right before the cops dropped him.

Other reports indicate one cop was injured (they said shot in the leg). They're thinking friendly fire. The way the cops were lined up not too surprising if they weren't real careful. Guess at least one wasn't anyway.

And sometimes life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to find.

And where I work they must give free miley cyrus weed to the BIG BOSS too because I was on a call where the big boss was telling us what was going on in the company and I was wondering "where does he work?" :der:

Sad about Miley but that's a different subject but dumb non the less too.

Seen some pictures of a guy a few years back when scrap copper was so high. He deceided he was gonna steal some big copper, went into the substation. It was live and shortly thereafter he wasn't. When he fell over, he broke apart when he hit the ground like a stick from the fireplace.
