- A Croatian farmer was killed by a falling cow. (And I'm pretty sure he didn't get to yell "run away!" like they did in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.)
- Down in San Antonio, a man called the cops to report that something had been stolen: his marijuana.
- In some places, you're not even safe in the afterlife; a woman in Rio de Janeiro was hit by a stray bullet while lying in her casket.
- And finally, darn those whippersnappers; according to a survey of teenage Internet users, not only is instant messaging the way to go, but e-mail is for old people.
QUOTE OF THE DAY: "I fell out of my top bunk this morning, and I think some of my brains leaked out."--yet another funny student, in a lesson today.

The IM comment makes sense - I was just thinking a few days ago about how we actually moved backwards technologically with email.
After going years with only mail and then telegraphs, we finally invented the telephone (a method for instant communication). It is weird that we considered email a step ahead despite the fact that it is less instant (in some ways much less so - unless you are Kev ;-).
So now it makes since that a form of instant e-communication is looking to make email extinct (or just a glorified electronic answering machine). I am surprised that internet voice communication and messages have not evolved further yet. I guess with current IM technology, that is not to far behind.
