Even more bananas is that the wiki is by far the most coherent thing I've read about it.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Because books.
Oh, man.
CNN has a breaking news banner: "New York Yankees manager Joe Torre says the plane that crashed into a building in Manhattan is registered to team pitcher Cory Lidle."

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
NYT says Lidle was killed.

And the NYT website is not opening. The entire city must be trying to get onto the page.

NEW YORK - All it took was daddy’s little girl to turn David Bowie from a rock star into the voice of a cartoon.
Bowie will be a guest on Nickelodeon’s “SpongeBob SquarePants,” playing a character called Lord Royal Highness in a show that will air next year.
Bowie, 59, said his 6-year-old daughter, Alexandria Zahra, is a huge SpongeBob fan and they watch the show together. He wrote in his blog that he’s “hit the Holy Grail of animation gigs.
“We, the family, are thrilled. Nothing else need happen this year, well, this week anyway,” Bowie said.
Bowie, who received a lifetime achievement honor at the Grammys this year and whose songs include “Fame,” “Young Americans” and “Space Oddity,” was previously the voice of Boz in David Cage’s 1999 “Omikron: The Nomad Soul.” He plays inventor and electrical engineer Nikola Tesla in Christopher Nolan’s upcoming movie “The Prestige,” in theaters Oct. 20.
No mention of his feud with Brock Samson....

I wonder why they don't use fire-fighting helicopters or something on highrises. A cargo chopper would be able to get up there with a foam pumper or water sprayer.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Eeeeeeeeee! Bowie!
In non-plane-non-Bowie news a carnivorous plant in Lyon has eaten a mouse:
Botanists discovered a partially digested mouse inside the plant on Friday after several people complained of a horrible smell.
The carnivorous plant, native to the Philippines, is the first to actually prove that plants can indeed eat small mammals.

What is even happening?
Yahoo news (and I realize all the large news sources are saying different things) says that NORAD wasn't tracking this plane. (Yeah, that's the other think -- Yahoo news is saying it's a plane.)
I didn't mean they tracked this flight. I meant NORAD scrambled the fighters in response to the incident as a precaution. I saw this confirmed by an FAA spokesperson.
Has everyone heard by now that it was a plane, believed to have been flown by Cory Lidle of the Yankees? The mayor wouldn't confirm it was Lidle (they need to notify next of kin), but CNN was reporting it far and wide, had a quote from Torre, and interviewed a Phillies announcer who if I heard the whole thing had been a good friend of Lidle's. Reportedly Lidle's passport was among the debris found on the sidewalk outside the BelAire.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
An NTSB spokesman said the plane belonged to Lidle, and George Steinbrenner confirmed that Lidle had been killed.
