"Black humor" is redundant

1. Courtney sells some of Kurt's songs to... wait for it... Oh don't worry. It's a good thing. edit:The paper is a tabloid, sometimes makes shit up. Story not yet found elsewhere. Great legend if it's fake, though!
   
   
2. Movies come to life as giant jellyfish attack Japan. Wearing tights can be an effective defense. Students have succeed in turning them into tofu.
   
   
3. Today's Woot deal is a really good bread machine for $75, shipped. Go now buy.
   
   
4. Tulane is hacking itself to pieces after Katrina. WSJ story here may require registration. Short version: They're axing 22 programs of study and firing 53 professors and a third of their medical school faculty. Bye bye university.
   
   
5. The data on Tylenol just gets worse and worse. Now it seems that you can poison yourself with 20 pills a day. I bet a lot of neurotic people do that much Tylenol.

It's amazing, isn't it? People think of it as aspirin and treat it as such and gee, why did my liver fall out?????

A couple of years ago there was a restaurant near me at which a bunch of people contracted hepatitis from some tainted salsa. At first there were no deaths, so people were calling it unfortunate but not tragic, and then one of the victims did die, and people started calling for blood. At least until the circumstances of his death came to light.

Turns out the guy already had a liver ailment... I want to say cirrhosis, but it might have been something else. Anyways, he eats at this place, gets the HepA, and then isn't feeling well so he takes a big dose of tylenol. People were a lot less upset with the restaurant after that was reported.

'course, the place still went out of business.
