  6. I believe the actual height of the Death Zone is defined as halfway up whatever peak you are writing your post trip chest beating narrative for. "At 2000 foot elevation on Mt. Si, we chewed on our Exxxxxtreme horsecock, tightened the laces on our plastic boots, wrote our wills, and wet our pants, for we were about to enter the Death Zone, the altitude above which one in 3 mountaineers perishes horribly" etc. etc.

Cool. Also a couple bald eagles around. Also 10, 000+ mosquitoes. Welcome, spring. Rain started as I finished. First time back on rock since fall. Scary at first. Good.
  8. On this day in History.... 28 March. In 1979 there was a serious accident at the Three Mile Island nuclear plant in Pennsylvania, and although no meltdown occurred, public opinion began to turn against the whole American nuclear industry. In the film The China Syndrome, made before the incident, a character remarks that a cloud of waste could wreak death and destruction over 'an area the size of Pennsylvania.' Earlier in the year, a local magazine had run a fictional story called Meltdown at Three Mile Island, and they even got the date right - 28 March.

  14. Finding someone with no social life, who is home surfing cc.com at 9 pm on a Friday night, is probably a good start. They wont have any friends so will have no other pastime than spending time with you. They may even be convertable into a sport climbing belay slave while you project that 11b for the 57th redpoint attempt.
  15. Cow of Terror!!!! Family sues BR zoo, claims cow hurt boy By ADRIAN ANGELETTE aangelette@theadvocate.com Advocate staff writer A family's trip to BREC's Baton Rouge Zoo petting farm last year turned into a struggle with a cow that left a 3-year-old child emotionally scarred, a lawsuit says. The culprit, according to the lawsuit, is a belted Galloway cow that has since been removed from the exhibit because of the ordeal. Randy Svara of Livingston Parish says in the lawsuit that his family went to the zoo in March 2002. While at the petting barn, the cow grabbed his son's arm with its mouth and pulled the child's arm through the fence, the suit says. The cow then repeatedly rammed the child's arm against the fence. Randy Svara tugged on the cow's head to free his son, Stone, to no avail, says the lawsuit, filed late Monday. "Mr. Svara had to throw his body over the fence and grab the cow by the tuft of hair on the top of the cow's head and the cow's throat in order to restrain the cow long enough for Mrs. Svara to remove Stone's arm from the fence," the lawsuit says. Attempts to speak with the Svaras or their attorney, DeVonna Ponthieu of Denham Springs, were unsuccessful Tuesday. Kristi Barnett, communications director for the Baton Rouge Recreation and Park Commission, said recreation officials hope the child fully recovers from the unfortunate incident. She said the zoo had no previous problems with the cow, which was turned over to an area farmer after the incident. "It's very domesticated," Barnett said. Svara's lawsuit says the problem was made worse because the family could not get immediate help from zoo officials. The family looked for 30 minutes before finding an employee. The employee could only provide hydrogen peroxide and a "stiff, brown restroom paper towel," the suit says. Svara took his son to Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center where he was diagnosed with a bruised upper right arm and treated with ibuprofen and ice, according to the lawsuit. The family took the child totwo subsequent visits to his pediatrician. Svara also took the child to a psychiatrist after the boy had problems sleeping and kept talking about the incident. The psychiatrist determined that the incident affected the child's speech pattern and sleep, the lawsuit says. Barnett said the child was treated with ice at the zoo. She said the zoo has many places where first-aid kits are kept. One such place is near the petting barn. She said the employee named as a defendant in the lawsuit and most other zoo employees receive first-aid training. The case has been assigned to state District Judge Tim Kelley in the 19th Judicial District Court
  16. 'TIME-TRAVELER' BUSTED FOR INSIDER TRADING Wednesday March 19, 2003 By CHAD KULTGEN NEW YORK -- Federal investigators have arrested an enigmatic Wall Street wiz on insider-trading charges -- and incredibly, he claims to be a time-traveler from the year 2256! Sources at the Security and Exchange Commission confirm that 44-year-old Andrew Carlssin offered the bizarre explanation for his uncanny success in the stock market after being led off in handcuffs on January 28. "We don't believe this guy's story -- he's either a lunatic or a pathological liar," says an SEC insider. "But the fact is, with an initial investment of only $800, in two weeks' time he had a portfolio valued at over $350 million. Every trade he made capitalized on unexpected business developments, which simply can't be pure luck. "The only way he could pull it off is with illegal inside information. He's going to sit in a jail cell on Rikers Island until he agrees to give up his sources." The past year of nose-diving stock prices has left most investors crying in their beer. So when Carlssin made a flurry of 126 high-risk trades and came out the winner every time, it raised the eyebrows of Wall Street watchdogs. "If a company's stock rose due to a merger or technological breakthrough that was supposed to be secret, Mr. Carlssin somehow knew about it in advance," says the SEC source close to the hush-hush, ongoing investigation. When investigators hauled Carlssin in for questioning, they got more than they bargained for: A mind-boggling four-hour confession. Carlssin declared that he had traveled back in time from over 200 years in the future, when it is common knowledge that our era experienced one of the worst stock plunges in history. Yet anyone armed with knowledge of the handful of stocks destined to go through the roof could make a fortune. "It was just too tempting to resist," Carlssin allegedly said in his videotaped confession. "I had planned to make it look natural, you know, lose a little here and there so it doesn't look too perfect. But I just got caught in the moment." In a bid for leniency, Carlssin has reportedly offered to divulge "historical facts" such as the whereabouts of Osama Bin Laden and a cure for AIDS. All he wants is to be allowed to return to the future in his "time craft." However, he refuses to reveal the location of the machine or discuss how it works, supposedly out of fear the technology could "fall into the wrong hands." Officials are quite confident the "time-traveler's" claims are bogus. Yet the SEC source admits, "No one can find any record of any Andrew Carlssin existing anywhere before December 2002." World News will continue to follow this story as it unfolds. Keep watching for further developments.

    OH MY GAD!

    Back around 1988 or 89 some pilot from CFB Cold Lake was taking a CF-18 to Vancouver Island and decided he'd show the plane off to his Mom in west van. well he brought it in over the North Shore at Mach 1.3 and broke some windows with the sonic boom. Hee hee. I was in high school at the time, one of our teachers wigged out, she thought the Russians were attacking.
