Couple days ago I was on the third floor of a building in the
back, and someone came by with one of these things, and it
sounded as though the stereo in the next room were cranked up
to max - I went to the front to see if I could see the culprit,
but he was way down the block, and it still sounded as though
the stereo were in the next room. One wonders how people manage
to keep any tiny bit of their attention on their driving. I mean,
if someone honks at them, there's no chance of hearing.

Couldn't an MP have done the job, or were they also forbidden
from using arms in that zone? Probably a large brick would have
done the trick as well.

Creutzfeld-Jacob I think it's called. The typical incubation
period is so long that the trail is long cold by the time anyone
gets the disease, though there have been some alarming reports
of young people coming down with it.

Turns out almost all the assays are still valid except
for some shellfish, which are said to have less than
the old figures state. Maybe the lobster association
paid someone off.
