    Let me offer 12-hours worth of phone calls as a refinement to this
theory. Beside calling everyone in my book, including old girlfriends I haven't
spoken to in five years (and now I know why) I found the following:

    * Six extremely white, old-money type people had even middle numbers.
    * Again, NOT ONE PESON had an odd middle numberthat wasn't white.
      (excuse the double-negative)
    * EVERY African-American, Jew, Hispanic had an even middle number.
    * Very few even numbers exist, yest ALL of their owners were white, with
      the sole exception of a very white ex-girlfriend who had a Grandmum from
      Cuba from before the Revolution.

    Just judging from the ratio of even:odd numbers v.s. the number of people
I spoke to, and using my fading knowledge of crap that I pieced together and
adapted from Merzbacher's book (which is probably all wrong considering how
much goofing off I did in grad school) I would say something kinda scwewy
is goin on.

I don't know about the incident to which you refer, but this did
happen in a metro Atlanta hospital in the last two or three
years.  The incident and the instantly-filed lawsuit were big
news in all the local media.

As I recall, it was either a hardware problem or a bad setting on
the electric cauterization gizmo.  Painful but true.  There were
allegations that similar machines had malfunctioned around the
country.

Maybe that's why the next sentence in the original article was something
along the lines of "Does anyone know TO WHOM he gave this order?"  But

Not *all* of the colors.  The five colors (black, red, yellow, green, and
blue) are found in every nation's flag.  At least one of the five colors
appears in every nation's flag.  That was the original intent, at least.

	Back in 1980, I was hired to count and record the contents of a
local university's collection of waste chemicals. One of the more interesting
bottles was labeled 'picric acid' (sp?), which is fairly unstable when
crystalised. The bottle had no  fluids in   it, so I decided to treat
it as though it had crystals in it, and not move it until I had informed
my boss. However, being young and stupid, I also decided to   continue
inventorying. The next  container was full of  silver nitrate, so I
marked it and  moved it to the section I was storing the containers
I had dealt with, without much concern, since I didn't regard it as
a potential bomb. In doing so, I clipped the alleged picric acid with
my elbow, knocking it onto the floor, between me and the door and on
the other side  of a bucket  of lithium pellets.  As it turned out,
it was just an empty bottle with  a  misleading label, but  I didn't
know that as  it was falling. Most stressful...

Although North Carolina doesn't have the weird city/county separation
Virginia has, we still have a tradition that the city and the county
of the same name are not in the same place.  Rockingham is not in
Rockingham County, and the same is true of Graham, and Cherokee, and
Henderson, and quite a few others.
 
Just to foul things up,  Durham *is* in Durham County.  Similarly for
Alamance, and a couple of others.  

In South Carolina, on the other hand, a city with the same name as
a county is usually in that county.

It comes out bi-monthly.  Although most of it consists of newspaper clippings

These articles both came to the conclusion (with supporting evidence) that

	You want the truth about fruitcake?  The real story?  
	I work at the Rising Sun Bakery, a small, hippie-owned
place popular with upper-middle-class, party-giving types.
Last week, I assisted the head baker in making (the horror, the
HORROR) 120 POUNDS of fruitcake.  We then charged $7 a pound
for it...and it all sold.
	Why?  To Who?  I have no idea.  Maybe it's a bizarre
southern gentry thing.  Maybe it's a stoic, Hemingwayesque
test of how truly you're in the holiday spirit- if you can
still smile and say thank you and mean it when you've unwrapped
your third cake, you get a plaque somewhere?  All I know is, I
start to shake whenever I see dried fruit now.  And

Loompanics Press among others used to sel this and several other such 
books.  There was also a book that told how the Social Security  Numbers 
encoded information about it's owner.  This being important information 
for those who were into making phony identities.

Paladin press was another outfit that had similar books, if I remember 
correct.

>one has left the CD player running.

Well, I was listening to my newly purchased "Ten" CD (Pearl Jam, on Epic),
and track 12 ("Release") fades to silence and about 15s later (I was watching
the player, wondering why it hadn't stopped) a completely different song
starts up.  A friend of mine has the tape, and I was going to go listen to
the end of the tape version and compare but I haven't had time.

>Anyone have any interesting CD stories not involving green markers, or
>know someone who does?

No - it actually does happen once in a while.  It is not a common
occurance.
