So much for using common sense when handling your mail.
Woman 'cooks' mail in microwave
Microwaves are for cooking food, not mail.
That was the message yesterday from the township fire marshal, who said that various media reports are prompting some people to microwave their mail in hopes of killing any possible anthrax contamination.
A township woman's microwave caught on fire yesterday after she attempted to "cook" some mail in the appliance, Fire Marshal Tom Thorn said.

From the "Can you get any more f'ing pathetic" files:
The person who has this blog -- The Private Pain of Your Role Model -- is cheating to get higher votes on Bloghop. His Bloghop link is named "Free pr0n" and if you click on it, you automatically give him the highest rating.
How pathetic is that? Do you really need acceptance that badly that you have to cheat on Bloghop? Unreal. Simply unreal.

I've been told that some East Coast bands aren't big here in the West simply because they're from the East. (That and the differences in culture between the East and West.) Well, being a transplanted girl from the East, I think I'm still allowed to say I like Bon Jovi. If you haven't seen their video of "America the Beautiful" yet, go here and check it out. An added incentive to look -- Richie Sambora playing his 12-string.
