Thieves stealing X-ray film to harvest silver... http://t.co/EIm09KDL
Buy gold, steal silver.
City Room: Detroit Beats New York, in Baseball and in Terror Trials http://t.co/0zX3fiPa
That's a notable distinction. But you still don't want to build a tourism campaign around the slogan "Terror Trial Capital of the United States."
Herman Cain isn't the only GOP candidate with vocal cords http://t.co/hrkINhYb
Take Jon Huntsman. He has vocal cords. But they don't form words that make GOP primary voters forget the fact he worked for President Obama.
A dad disciplined his 16-year-old daughter by forcing her to duel for two hours in a suit of armor. http://t.co/G1nu58hJ
This used to be a common practice raising kids. You had to have the evening paper and a gin-and-tonic ready at exactly 6 p.m., or spend two weeks after school in the dueling suit.
Local news: Zombies and witches at war in Salem - http://t.co/yHfvXcpS
Wars between unholy forces of darkness don't have the same luster they used to. And why should they? Everyone knows the Salem district attorney is just going to give them 30 hours of community service. Who wouldn't rise from the grave if they knew they weren't going to do time for it?
#FriendOrFoe: "I skipped my best friend's wedding and now I want her back." http://t.co/lXsFZOKt
Should have thought of that before you skipped the wedding. Also should have thought of it before you decided not to quietly poison the relationship when they started dating.
Fixed: Mitt Romney is waging cyber war on Rick Perry theatln.tc/nguf5Z
