I read that as 'horse.'

Remember when someone said something about a dirty house and someone thought it was horse and posted a pic of a dusty horse then someone said they cleaned their house and a pic of a spankin' clean horse popped up? 'Member that? That was funny.

Nah, it's all that other stuff they add that causes dust to come off the mixture. "Anti-dusting agent" is a slightly nicer way of saying "glue."

No more 'service snakes' on TriMet. But what about guide horses? Saddle up, Portland

The days when uncaged cats, monkeys, snakes and chickens can ride TriMet buses and trains
as "service animals" (it happens more than you might think) are numbered.
But guide horses? Well, those will be good to go under new conduct rules
Oregon's largest transit agency is expected to approve next week.

Yep. You read that right. Guide horses.

TriMet says it's just following the lead of the Americans with Disabilities Act,
which will narrow the definition of service animals in March to dogs
and miniature horses trained to be guides for people who are blind or deaf.

John Dineen, spokesman for the Northwest Americans with Disabilities Act Center in Seattle, said the list has strayed into the realm of the far-fetched, which isn't good for the law's image.

Dineen brought up the 2009 case of a southwest Washington resident
who walked into a restaurant with his pet boa constrictor.
The man claimed he needed the snake because it alerted him to pending seizures by giving him a hug.

Keep Portland weird

Suicide bomber killed by SMS message

An unexpected and unwanted text message from a wireless company prematurely exploded a would-be suicide bomber’s vest bomb in Russia New Year’s Eve, inadvertently thwarting a planned attack on revelers in Moscow, according to The Daily Telegraph.

The would-be suicide bomber was planning to detonate a suicide belt bomb near Red Square, a plan that was foiled when her wireless carrier sent her an SMS while she was still at a safe house, setting off the bomb and killing her. The message reportedly wished her a Happy New Years, according to the report, which sourced the info from security forces in Russia. Cell phones are often used as makeshift detonators by terrorist and insurgent groups.

If true, the SMS might be the only time that a wireless carrier’s SMS message has ever been useful.

The authorities suspect the female bomber was part of the same Jihadist group that is suspected of hitting Moscow’s airport on Monday with a suicide bomb attack that killed 35.

West Palm Beach man dead for 16-20 minutes, lives to tell about it

Charles Morgan was taking a smoke break from his evening shift at a West Palm Beach car dealership when he dropped dead of a massive heart attack. He was 52.

More than two months later, Morgan has no recollection of any of it. Not his boss' CPR efforts, or the crowd that milled around in horror, or the paramedics who brought him back to life with advanced emergency equipment most fire departments have yet to acquire.

The real stunner, even to the men who saved him: He suffered no brain damage or other ill effects, even though his heart had stopped beating for 16 to 20 minutes.

"I'm a lucky man," said the grandfather of two.

Anyone who hears his story would agree. But luck played only one role in the resurrection of Charles Morgan. The car salesman's renewed lease on life is also a credit to quick-thinking co-workers, well-trained paramedics and, especially, an effective combination of cutting-edge lifesaving equipment that made all the difference that December day.

The American Heart Association estimates that fewer than 8 percent of those who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital survive, and the vast majority of them are left with some level of debilitating brain damage.

Morgan is not the first to beat those ugly odds, though he joins a rare fraternity of symptom-free survivors.

The equipment given partial credit in saving his life is pretty damn nice. Those automated chest compression machines are pretty rare. I've played with a Glidescope before and they're really nice with that camera on the end. Helps a boatload in seeing down the throat compared to the usually pretty dim light on a laryngoscope. Would have been interesting to hear what kind of heart monitor they have. The newest models are badass, like Lifepak 12 and 15's. They can wirelessly send heart rhythms to the receiving hospital in real time, so the physician can give additional instructions/recommendations while treating the patient and en route.

O.J. Simpson was beaten unconscious in a savage prison yard attack, according to a report in the National Enquirer.

The assault was so brutal and debilitating that the disgraced NFL great is now afraid to leave his cell.
