My friend Lynda sent me this story, with the comment that if it happened to her, she would:
1) Require a valium drip for at least 2 months
2) Burn the house to the ground
3) Move to Ireland and worship St. Patrick
I would add 4. Never sleep again.
New Jersey knows when to be afraid.
Witness the global economy at work…
The factory owner reportedly told police the emblems had been ordered from outside China, and he did not know that they stood for an independent Tibet.
Workers who had grown suspicious checked the meaning of the flag by going online.
Thousands of flags had already been packed for shipping.
Police believe that some may already have been sent overseas, and could appear in Hong Kong during the Olympic torch relay there this week.
MSNBC obviously tried to spin this so that the heart killed the guy. Sure, I suppose it’s possible that there is some intrinsic essence in each organ which controls the brain of the person who has it. For examples, see Return to Me…on second thought, don’t.
They wait until the byline to hit us with, “He even married the donor’s widow after the transplant 12 years ago.” Maybe after 12 years with her suicide was looking pretty good to this guy too. Or, even more likely, she has a type, and it’s the type who like the taste of gunmetal.

Now, I’m not a September 11th junkie or anything, but I just happened across this Flickr photoset the other day, and was kind of blown away by it. Not only is it really interesting to see the whole experience from the point of view of someone who lived a mere block away from the WTC (and who is a photographer, nonetheless) - but the way he writes about it is calm and matter of fact, and way more accurate than any news report has been.
It’s also interesting because, well, I live in NYC now. I wasn’t here during the day the towers were attacked, but now I know that area really well. It’s interesting to see what exactly that experience was like. And scary, too, of course. But something about this city…people here seem to move on through anything that happens, and with remarkable calm. Amazing.
The pictures are quite beautiful as well.
Many of the same shots, one year later

Hey…wait a second. Now I’m doing it! This is fun. Let’s profit off of some other famous dead people now!
