in the news

ok ... here's the headline that makes you consider pawning ... or simply trashing ... all of your lava lamps (oh, come on, don't act like you don't have one. no one believes it.):

Exploding Lava Lamp Kills Washington Man

... and here's the subhead that clears your worries and reminds you that people are inherently stupid:

Shard of glass pierces victim's heart after lava lamp heated on stove.

here's the whole story. it's a short one, but definitely worth the read. the police, too, are baffled. imagine that.
