Before you criticize someone, first walk a mile in their shoes. If they get mad, you'll be a mile away. And you'll have their shoes.

Billboard misspells bee contestant's name
AMARILLO, Texas - Caitlin Campbell couldn't spell collyrium but someone couldn't spell her last name. A billboard went up in this Panhandle city to honor Caitlin's eighth-place finish in the national spelling bee. It reads: "Congratulations! Caitlin Cambell for making Amarillo proud."

Lamar Outdoor Advertising, which donated the space, said it plans to replace the downtown sign with the correct spelling.

Caitlin, 14, made it to the ninth round of the first prime-time network broadcast of the Scripps National Spelling Bee earlier this month in Washington. She left the competition when she misspelled the word collyrium, a term for eye lotion.

The guy apparently survived, so no chance for a Darwin Award.

Patient With Oxygen Mask Lights Up, Destroys Room
A patient who was wearing an oxygen mask tried to light a cigarette in his hospital room, sparking a fire that forced the evacuation of more than 100 patients, destroyed the room and melted medical equipment, officials said.

A nurse at Methodist Dallas Medical Center rescued the man from his burning bed shortly after the Thursday night blaze started. He suffered serious burns and was taken to the burn unit another Dallas hospital, but no one else was hurt, hospital officials said.

"He somehow got the strength to smoke a cigarette with a nonremovable mask," Dallas Fire-Rescue Capt. Paul Martinez said. "I don't know how he did it, but he did it."

Hospital sprinklers kept the blaze mostly in one room, said fire Lt. Joel Lavender.

Officials didn't release the man's name or condition Friday, citing medical privacy laws.

*sigh*!Its a shame that hospital workers are obliged to help dumb people as well.And its a shame that luck always strikes the dumbest ones when they almost kill themselves.

Except that it can't. Burning=oxidation. You need something for it to react with (such as hydrogen or carbon). What happened was that the cigarette burnt much better in then pure oxigen than it does in air.

Catholic Church likely to abolish state of Limbo
By MICHAEL BROWNING
Cox News Service
Friday, December 02, 2005

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — The Catholic Church is considering abolishing Limbo, a sort of shadowy fourth state of the afterlife, where the souls of unbaptized and aborted infants go, to keep company with the righteous Hebrew prophets who lived before Jesus Christ was born, the authoritative Italian newspaper, Corriere della Sera, reports.

"In limbo," a phrase that has won universal understanding in English, and which is used by everyone from priests to politicians, may soon signify "nowhere." To be in limbo will be, strictly speaking, to be utterly nonexistent.

The International Theological Commission, an arm of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, is about to issue a new catechism of Catholic doctrine that does away with Limbo, the Corriere reported this week. The catechism is likely to be approved by Pope Benedict XVI, formerly Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, because as cardinal, Ratzinger was the gatekeeper of Catholic doctrine under the late Pope John Paul II.

Games blamed for National Parks' decline
University of Illinois research touts "Nintendo vs. Nature" hypothesis, which fingers the "sedentary lifestyle" promoted by gaming for shrinking park attendance.
By Tor Thorsen, GameSpot


Games have long been blamed by social conservatives and certain psychologists for encouraging slothful and/or violent behavior in America's youth. Now, a new study has surfaced that blames games for another societal ill--the decline of America's National Park Service.

A report this week on National Public Radio highlighted a controversial study performed by Oliver Pergams, an assistant professor in biological sciences at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Titled "Nintendo vs. Nature" Pergams' study was recently featured in the Journal of Environmental Management. It asserts that the emergence of video games, the Internet, and other forms of indoor media has a direct correlation with the per capita fall of attendance at US national parks.

"So, we think it likely that these kinds of increases in sedentary lifestyles and recreation not only affect how much time people have to go to national parks, but how much they want to go to national parks," Pergams told NPR.
