Wash. H.S. Time Capsule Disintegrates:
OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) -- A 93-year-old time capsule from a high school in Aberdeen was opened with great expectations, an audience of state dignitaries and no small difficulty.
But instead of the 'window to Aberdeen's past' they expected, Secretary of State Sam Reed, Archivist Jerry Handfield and others got a moldy wad of wet crud.
'Old papers,' Reed said. 'It looks like it's disintegrated, unfortunately.'
...Well...Hey - at least they where the damn thing was.
From the "Oh, F*ck!" Department:
Capsule hunters in hurry
They prepared and buried historical material so the school would always be remembered. Now they have forgotten where the time capsule is buried.
Marriage NASCAR style coming to Darlington:
Apparently, getting married at Darlington Raceway is a popular idea.
Track spokeswoman Cathy Mock says the raceway sold out all its available wedding packages for the Southern 500 next month a week after announcing them.
She added, "It's been great how the true NASCAR fans flock to the speedways to exchange 'I do's,' whether they are cousins, relatives, in-laws, or even siblings!"
It is my understanding that the message board service powering my comments system is currently down.
I haven't a clue when it is to return, but if it does not come back on soon I will be looking in to other options.
I could have killed protester
An Irishman wearing a kilt and sporran, and carrying a placard declaring "Read the Bible - the Bible is always right," invaded the circuit on the 11th lap as cars raced at up to 200kmh.

University anti-alcohol plan a failure?
Novel idea: Get college students to drink less by saying peers don't drink as much.

INTERNET AFFAIRS THE FASTEST GROWING CAUSE OF DIVORCE
The internet is driving thousands of couples to the divorce courts, it was revealed yesterday. Researchers have discovered a huge rise in people splitting up after 'chat room cheats' are caught by their spouse.
In related news, AOL has just introduced the latest version of its flagship software. AOL "Broadband for Break-ups" features new encoding technology to help couples cheat on each other at "up to 75% faster speeds than 56k affairs," said one AOL spokesperson.
New Program for Swapping Hardware Enters Beta
[From the joke news files....]
Unlike Napster, Hardster appears to have a sustainable business model. Users of the system must purchase a small attachment called a Hardster Module for their inkjet printer to reproduce the hardware. Each module is capable of reproducing a limited number of components before they need to be refilled.
"You just set up a component of your system to be 'shared' and then any of the users on the network can copy that piece of hardware. It's so simple that my mother just downloaded a new laser printer from a guy in Poland," said Iwo.
Sofia Dickison also loves the system. "It's great. I just bought one of the Hardster Modules then printed out a few more. It's a self-sustaining hardware reproducing system. I'm not sure if they thought of that."
"Oh shit," responded Iwo.
From the "What Comes Around, Goes Around" Department:
Teen Shot Self In Groin During Home Invasion

Well another year has come and gone, as marked by the Three Rivers Festival.
As usual the event brought out the typical group from "the woodwork," yet it still managed to bring in the massive amounts of teens bored with Fort Wayne's usual nightlife*.
What have we learned this year?
-Carnie's can be funny
-Males age 17-24 are very territorial
-There truly are a lot of people in Fort Wayne
-and finally: 21 minutes is way too long to wait for a f*cking snow cone.
*Please not the lack of Fort Wayne's nightlife as a whole.
Aww well... See you next year, TRF...
Farewell...
