"There's a reason you've never heard of bus rage"
- Greyhound marketing campaign slogan... um, keep reading
I nominate this story for two awards... best marketing story and funniest beheading:
news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080806/ap_on_re_ca/canada_bus_beheading

And I gotta give props to boys at the AP (for once)... nice attention to detail: Chinese immigrant, carnival worker, desolate section of Canadian highway, showing off the head, and then "hacking off pieces of the victim's body and eating them".

You meet such interesting people on the bus. Jeez.

And now for something completely different...

Book: "I am Legend"
Author: Richard Matheson
Review: 4 bill-stars

This book is the inspiration for the movie of the same name and also the far superior "The Omega Man". Will Smith is OK, but dang, he's no Chuck Heston.

Anyway, the book is better than both with a nice subtle explanation/revelation for the title at the very end. Sweet read.
hack... yow, bill
