Rocks Found At Trestles Beach Ignite In Woman's Pocket

Woman Put Rocks In Pocket After Her Children Picked Them Up From Beach

formatting link
The 43-year old woman's children picked up the seven orange and green rocks on Saturday at San Onofre State Beach, which is popular with surfers and known locally as Trestles.

The rocks combusted and set the woman's shorts on fire and continued to burn the wood floor of her Avenida Estrella house, according Capt. Marc Stone of the Orange County Fire Authority.

The woman, whose name was not released, was hospitalized at Western Medical Center in Santa Ana with third-degree burns to her right thigh and knee, Stone said. He added that the victim "stopped, dropped and rolled" in an effort to douse the flames, and her husband suffered second-degree burns to his hands as he tried to help.

But things seem to be pretty desperate in Canada. Now absolutely everyone is eating government approved roadkill:

home guy *is* the troubled person who sits down next to you at a public place or inhabits public places and never misses a chance to tell everyone how they are a prophet and no one listens to them...

It makes no sense to engage in any dialogue with such a person.

Hmm, at first I was thinking ordinance.

But they've also been talking about things washing up on the West Coast from the tsunami in Japan.

The only thing that's chronically wasting is the economic and social health of the United States.

Yes it is....to some. And this serves as a very effective filter, as it has since around

1780 or so. :)

I certainly hope this filter effect continues.
