Bad week for:

The Week magazine puts out a list of "Good week for..." and "Bad week for..." every week. Here are a few of this week's.

Bad Week for:
Hoarding, after a Massachusetts apartment building burned down because of fumes from 45 gallons of gasoline stored in one couple's apartment. The couple, police said after arresting them, were trying to save money by stockpiling gas before the price went up again. (okay- this could have actually been me and mark. we were talking about doing this the other day.)

Political protestors, after rumors spread that Denver authorities plan to control unruly demonstrators at this summer's Democratic National Convention by unleashing a new infrasound weapon that makes people poop in their pants. For security reasons, city officials will not confirm or deny they've acquired a "crap cannon" but say their crowd-control measures will comply with federal and city requirements.

And this is my new favorite magazine.

what kind of sophisticated bunch of people came up with a machine that makes us poop in our pants? I feel dumb even saying, "poop in my pants"
