   Two from the weird news for ya:   
      
   Police in Panama City, Florida, describe a case in which restaurant   
   worker Caleb Joshua Halley, 33, and colleague Orlando Thompson, 26,   
   started arguing about how much spice belongs in a gumbo.  The argument   
   over gumbo spices ended with Thompson slashing Halley across the torso   
   with a knife.  This proved fatal.  Thompson is being charged with   
   manslaughter.   
      
     Orlando Thompson =   
     Moron and hot slop   
       Or:   
     Oh, land's top moron   
      
      
   And one from July:   
   David Staples was celebrating US Independence Day at a house in   
   Calais, Maine - with fireworks, indoors.  The 22-year-old Staples had   
   been drinking when he decided to place a reloadable mortar tube on his   
   head and set it off.  A spokesman for the Maine Department of Public   
   Safety, Stephen McCausland, said that 'his friends thought [they had]   
   dissuaded him from doing it, and the next thing they knew, he ignited   
   the fireworks and he was killed instantly'.  His brother later said   
   that he'd been goofing off and thought he was dealing with a dud.   
      
     David Staples ~ lived (past). Sad?   
     David Staples = Add "Psst... Alive?"   
     David Staples ~ advised splat.   <- if actions speak loudly
