Security guard: "There is a fire alarm... er - on the P1 Visitor's Parking Level. If you d- er - (car) Stay off the P1 Level!!! THIS IS A REAL FIRE!!!"

I think he just had an accident. The security guard, I mean. Lucky for him we're not too far from a clothing store where he can buy replacement underwear.

(It was OK, just a car fire - mostly out by the time the fire department arrived. Great place to have a car fire, right under a sprinkler head.)

Story on CityTV about baby kimodo dragons: "They will eventually grow to weigh over 100 kilometres"

How heavy was that again?

This is the same idiot who told us that unlike the last few eclipses of the moon, the latest would be quite visible because of a lack of recent volcanic activity on the moon.

Truly unfortunate advertising

So I'm reading this review on Anime News Network on the manga Love Attack, and I notice that the words "first date" have a double underline. Rolling the cursor over the tagged words gets me an ad stating, "First Dates - Credit Cards Not Required!"

Ah, if only New York Governor Eliot Spitzer had read this ad. Or maybe he had - I understand the service he used didn't ask for credit cards either, they wanted cash on the barrel head, at a rate ranging from $1,000 to $5,500 per hour.

Edit: Quote from commentator: "If you wade in the river of sympathy on Wall Street for Spitzer , you wont get your ankles wet".
