scottobearA new world record has been set by Jim Hager, 47, of Oakland, California. Jim ate 115 M & M Candies, using chopsticks, in 3 minutes. (that's pretty impressive.. but still seems beatable. I wonder how far the bowl has to be from your mouth?)
Marcelo Torres, 22, was riding the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad when the roller coaster derailed inside a tunnel as it was climbing a steep grade. An "unknown, blunt object" caused "blunt force trauma" to his chest and fractured his ribs, leading to laceration of his lungs. Marcelo bled to death before help could arrive. Ten other passengers were injured.
The animal most often hallucinated by someone experiencing drug withdrawal (including alcohol) is a black or gray dog.
Dendrophilia is sex with trees.
Bees are more likely to sting on windy days.
The newest semagic client allows you to download your journal to disk and search it, comfortably. I just finished dumping all 6100+ entries and (comment grabs are currently disabled) to my hard drive. That'll teach me to download the prior update the night before. They're going to use a built-in spell checker rather than word's soon, too.
D&D monster of the moment... in perhaps more in honor of Blackie than of Newt's Birthday, a Displacer beast. Newt's more of an anti-displacer beast, considering that he's generally when I look for him, and easily petted. He does attack well with his teeth and front strikers, though for no appreciable damage.
The displacer beast is a savage and stealthy carnivore that resembles a puma with six legs, glowing green eyes, and two muscular tentacles growing from its shoulders.
A displacer beast has luxurious, blue-black fur and a long, feline body and head. It is the size of a Bengal tiger, about 10 feet long and weighing about 500 pounds. The tentacles end in pads equipped with horny ridges.
Displacer beasts favor small game but will eat anything they can catch. They regard all other creatures as prey and tend to attack anything they meet. They have a deep-seated hatred for blink dogs, and the two attack each other ruthlessly when their paths cross.
Displacer beasts rake opponents with their tentacles and bite foes that get close.
Displacement (Su): A light-bending glamour continually surrounds a displacer beast, making it difficult to surmise the creature's true location. Any melee or ranged attack directed at it has a 50% miss chance unless the attacker can locate the beast by some means other than site. A true seeing affect allows the user to see the beast's position, but see invisibility has no effect.
Ok. Off to do my laundry. Until later, dear journal.

Date: 2003-10-05 05:16 pm (UTC)When I was a kid I put my hands up in that stupid coaster like all the other kids did, and my right hand hit something above me. It was part of the tunnel/rock stuff...and I was LUCKY that it was a super *slow* part of the ride. I remember thinking then at 13 years of age - that they (Disney) sucked for not putting a sign up that says don't put your hands up inside the tunnels!
Who the hell has sex with trees?!? I mean..I could see a deer doing it or something -- but people? Splinters and stuff. ;) I wonder what the ratio of people who dig trees are that go to get some sort of help to stop it - versus those who don't. :P
Not ignoring you. :0) Have been a busy bee - so I'm just reading only for the most part.
