In the news. I found this article on the Net today that was pretty funny. Apparently, there's a whole site full of stuff just like it. It's called Things People Said: Chruch Bulletins, and can be found here. It's a list of things that were actually printed in church bulletins, but with funny errors. Example: For those of you who have children and don't know it, we offer child care during the service. :)

Now for the not so funny part. I usually read news articles that have attention-grabbing headlines, and this one defnitely did: Hangings, Stranglings, Drownings: Killer Set for Early Release. You can read it here. Apparently, this man killed over a dozen women, but because it was in the 80's, and there were no witnesses, he was only charged with "burglary with intent to commit murder." Anyway, he was supposed to serve 60 years, but a loophole could get him out in 2006, after only 20 years. I hate things like this. Now they're trying to find something -- anything -- that could keep him in jail. Personally, I hope they do. I wouldn't want to be attacked by a man who not only confessed to killings, but was let out of jail.

Sorry about the not-so-pleasant news. I'll see if I can find something more lighthearted to write about later. =)
