Suicide Bomber Done In by Errant Text Message
A bizarre tale out of Moscow on the hazards of being a suicide bomber: A woman intended to blow herself up in Red Square on New Year's Eve and inflict mass casualties, but she received a "Happy New Year" text message that detonated her bomb too early, reports the Telegraph. As a result of the miscue, the blast killed only her.
The newspaper, quoting anonymous Russian security officials, says the woman was at a safe house preparing for the attack when the spam text arrived. Normally, bombers leave their phones off until the last moment, but investigators think the woman got careless. She is believed to be from the same Black Widow group blamed in the recent deadly airport bombing attack in Moscow.
I did not know that about Chick-fil-a. sad now.
Yesterday was gorgeous here and today should be also (70 degrees!). I raked 100 gal of leaves yesterday and planted some bulbs (late, I know). I am hoping to do more of the same today, I have hyacinths, tulips, and daffodils to plant.
I want very badly to play Scrabble with Paul Rudd, and win. I don't even care if he gets naked. I'm just really competitive at Scrabble. He makes a statement like that? BRING IT ON, RUDD.
Today is probably going to shape up to be very sad, but I'm not willing to commit to it yet. Many decisions and phone calls with my vet before anything final at 2:30.
That reminds me of when Mike Nelson said he would take on all challengers in games of Doom at the '96 Conventio-Con. Of course, he proceeded to wipe the floor with all but one of the assembled nerds that played against him.
Oh, amyth. I'm so sorry. I'm free this evening if you want company, either way.
Thanks, smonster. I'll keep you posted.

So now spam has saved lives. That seems so wrong.
Russian spam has saved lives, probably.
