Runners face terrorism charges for sprinkling flour in a parking lot to mark a course. City of New Haven spokeswoman Jessica Mayorga said the city plans to seek restitution from the Salchows, who are due in court Sept. 14.

We're thankful it wasn't, but there were a lot of resources that went into figuring that out."
Grist on Industrial Agrodiesel: "We need a new bumper sticker: Biodiesel: feeding the planet to our cars."
The Economist on higher fuel taxes: "It's possible, maybe probable, that substitution away from driving might entirely counteract the rebound effect mentioned above.

The Hash House Harriers use flour markings for their hare and hounds runs. See http://www.gthhh.com/
HHH is described as a drinking club with a running problem. If I could run at all, I'd definitely run with them!
We has some flight attendants in a tizzy because there was 'white powder' in a stall in the lady's room. It was dust from the toilet paper. Sure, a terrorist is gonna sneak into a toilet stall in an employee's only area, and put some biological agent on the floor.
Some stewies are in dire need of extra oxygen.
