The case against Wub Wub and for Manowar
http://www.dnainfo.com/chicago/20140208/logan-square/dubstep-concert-canceled-after-ceiling-collapseConcord Music Hall Ceiling Collapses, Injuring Three
Cellphone footage shows a small amount debris falling from the ceiling as the bass hits. Seconds later a large chunk of the ceiling is dislodged unleashing a large amount of debris along with parts of the ceiling. The concert was canceled shortly after.

Chilling out and forming "rubbish" supergroups, seemingly…
Meanwhile, the band's banjo player Winston Marshall formed a one-night-only supergroup named Salvidor Dali Parton - featuring members of The Vaccines, JEFF the Brotherhood, Apache Relay and Old Crow Medicine Show.
Not that Marcus Mumford was impressed… "Winston went to Nashville and set up a band, played six gigs, recorded a live show and then they broke up, citing artistic differences at the end of the night, after playing six gigs in one night," the singer said.

i think they're great because they show how lazy and/or gullible people are when they are presented with a story that reaffirms their beliefs. this man is a cop, a detective - how hard is it to google "colorado marijuana 37 overdoses"? if he read a story titled "heroine cures cancer" i'm pretty damn sure he would have either a) ignored it, or b) tried looking for corroboration or counter-proof.
ya can't - and shouldn't - believe everything you read…

or you could buy a player with what seems like a better set of specs for about the same price…

That does sound cool especially considering the shape, size and functionality of the Ponos player.

Fans sue Boise arena because ?large? beer is same size as ?regular? (video)
In a lawsuit that is going to prompt measuring experiments among members of the beer-drinking segment of the sports-going public ? which is to say, almost all of it ? hockey fans in Idaho contend that they were the victims of fraud when they were sold a $7 beer that purportedly is larger than a $4 beer.
