Helpline Comment (25041) (Jan 09 2004 00:21 GMT) - Nice going Zane! I do that too...I've built hundreds of pentium machines in old 286/386 & 486cases. I usually leave the original labels right on the machine! I still use an AMD-450 that is built in a real cool Gateway2000 tower. |

Accused Murderer Justifies Killings by Eating Subway Sandwich Prior to Crime (Jan 09 2004 00:21 GMT) - Donald Hartman, a 36 year-old Philadelphia man suspected of killing five people last night in a grisly street shootout, is pleading for a pardon from his crime due to the fact that he consumed a healthy Subway sandwich earlier in the day, an act he claims compensates for the murders. There are currently several commercials in rotation for the sandwich chain detailing how negative behaviour can be offset by eating at Subway; a man dresses up as a cheerleader in front of his house, for example, horrifying his wife but becoming immune to her reproach due to his consumption of Subway earlier in the day. Hartman claims his case is simply no different. "I ate a BMT earlier before my murders, and I have the receipt to prove it," he said firmly, waving the receipt in the air as he was taken into custody. |

QotD: Guns (Jan 09 2004 00:20 GMT) - Question: Have you ever shot a gun? My Answer: Obviously, yes. I've fired guns at targets about 10,000 times more than I've fired a gun at a living creature (birds, deer, rabbits), but that's what good hunters do - practice enough that they're confident they can make the shot. |
