Man is undergoing divorce. He threatens, for months, to set himself on fire.

One day, he goes to his front porch and douses himself in gasoline. His family dial 911.

The police taser him.

Hilarity ensues.

Michigan university covers up rape, murder of student, not even informing her parents of anything beyond her death.

For bonus points, they didn't tell any of the other students that the rapist *took the girl's keys to the dorm with him when he left*.

How to make OpenOffice *fly* by telling it to use a lot more RAM than usual.

I've got spare RAM most of the time when I'm using OpenOffice. How about you?

(PS: I hate the quickstarter, so I don't check that. That's not the point. It's still a faster thing)

Judge bars witnesses and lawyers from using the words "rape", "sexual assault", and "victim", among others, from a rape trial.

The legal reasoning is that labelling the accuser a "victim" presumes that a crime has occured, and that calling the acts under discussion "rape" is a legal conclusion that the jury needs to make, not the witness - and, in both cases, this presumption is prejudicial to the defendant.

Click through to the YouTube page for a bunch of other songs played on the musical coils.
