Huh.

That was odd.  Just, all of a sudden, last night I couldn't start Firefox.  Was too tired to worry about it, but I just went over it again today.  Did some searching around the net and narrowed it down to a couple files being damaged.  wsock32.dll and winspool.drv - to be precise.

Microsoft suggested it was the result of a virus.  A scan didn't turn up anything, and neither did the removal tools from Symantec.  Luckily, those particular files are included in the Windows sytem folder, so I just had to copy and paste them into the Firefox folder for the program to start working.

Very weird.

Finally remembered what I was gonna tell y'all yesterday.  Heard on the news about a guy in Ohio that shot himself while vacuuming.  Apparently, he'd kept a gun under his pillow.  Well, he lifted up the pillow to vacuum the bed.  The gun fell on the floor, discharging after it hit the floor.  He got shot in the foot and the arm, if I'm remembering correctly.

Today's news of the weird involved a woman from SomewhereIDon'tRemember, USA who got hit in the head by a man's leg.  Which had fell out of the sky.  No arm, no head, just a leg.  I guess the guy is what is left of a man that got caught in the landing gear of a plane taking off, and he ended up in pieces when the gear was retracted into the plane. One radio announced was talking about the horror of the man who that happened to, and what pain he must have felt at the time of his death.  The other announcer, a woman, responded with, "What the hell?  I'm more worried about the fact that I'd found a dead guy's leg in my yard.  A LEG!!!" 

I love my local radio station.  *hugs them 'til they pop*
