    I just lovvvve Windows Media files soooo much when I try to play them.

    WM: The source filter for this file could not be loaded. Close or more information?

    Me: Well, more info please.

    WM: A search of the resulting Help file produces no reference to source filter whatsoever.

    Me: Grrrr. @$%& you, Bill Gates.


    So I didn't see the video but I did see Mythbusters cover this subject on the Discovery channel. They pointed out that women get back in and out of the car, thus producing static electricity, more often than men because women may feel more vulnerable standing out in the open at the pump. (A concern not without merit.)

    That's insane. The girl was VERY lucky!!

    Was at a gas station and this guy was smoking and flicking his ashes while he pumped gas. Then he got all indignant when the gas station manager came out and demanded that he put his ciagrette out NOW...what a moron.

    Did anyone see the Mythbusters episode where they created a "panty rubbing device" to try to do the same thing? Very funny.

    Very dangerous sirtuation. Also very few people know about this common hazard. Static electricity.

    Usualy tires will ground the vehicle. But she didn't have the shoes that would ground her, so when she touched the car after sliding out of her seat, the car grounded her. But she sparked over to the car and the fumes were strong enough to ignite.

    What would help is some sort of static guard on her carseat (several times during dry months), static guard on clothing, leather seats (not vinyl or cloth), shoes that would have grounded her before she got to the car.

    Or what I used when I believed sparks will fly, I grab hold of a bulk pencil eraser from my pocket and touch it instead of with my fingers to the grounded object; the object could be car or even a door in a carpeted building. It also cuts down on the annoying finger pain.

    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

    NOTE: anything I post here, outside of a direct quote, is my opinion only, which I am entitled to. Take it for what you estimate it is worth.

    MILWAUKEE -- A bank robber's note helped police catch the man who allegedly held up a Wells Fargo Bank in downtown Milwaukee.

    The robber handed the teller the demand note Thursday morning.

    She gave him the money and he left.

    He was quickly arrested when it was discovered he wrote the note on the back of his probation papers.

    He was on probation for a previous bank robbery.

    LMFAO That's classic, Mojo! I remember a story similar to that one.. A guy robbed a bank, and had them put the money in his backpack. The cops immediately chased him as soon as he left the bank. He tossed the backpack in the bushes and continued to run... They ended up finding the backpack with all the money, and inside the backpack was the robber's name, and his address. LOL
