Who says that web news is always dumbing down?

Arson I reckon. Probably a revenge attack my disgruntled mice.

I began to open that link but immediately realised that it's one that I (and Hobbes, for that matter) should probably not look at, so I hit alt-F4 very quickly! Am I correct in that assumption?

Never mind the spider story, is there any update on the Scottish lady with the pet skunk? Has she settled right in?

Can the skunk cope with the smell?

Driving through the Black Mountains of Virginia this past Wednesday, I heard the Virginia News Network reporting that the infestation of fleas at the county courthouse was due to a dead possum that was caught between the floorboards.

Well I, for one, am glad Congress stepped in to clarify.

I would like to see them working to pass a bill that would require motorists to give a little thank you wave to people who are polite and let them in. It just irritates me no end when I let someone get into heavy traffic ahead of me and they don't even acknowledge that I just did something for them that I didn't have to do.

When it happens, I usually wave at them in their rear view mirror and mouth the words "You're welcome!" They probably don't even notice, but it makes me feel vindicated.

Mind you, the mouth shapes created when saying "you're welcome" bear a strong resemblance to those created by another popular motoring phrase we use over here.
