    Did anyone hear about the hostage situation at the Discovery channel?

    Check out this dude's Demands that he had posted before he went nuts and got himself shot by the police. (he really, really doesn't like babies by the way)

    Bart Smith, continuing to be awesome since 1982 so that you don't have to.

    Love is a duet, each voice complementing each other and making them sound better than they would alone, each voice at times stepping back and letting the other shine. We've got a pretty good duet going Tina, 1 year and counting.

    I started reading it and found it really sad that someone could be so delusional. Then I read this:

    "Nothing is more important than saving them. The Lions, Tigers, Giraffes, Elephants, Froggies, Turtles, Apes, Raccoons, Beetles, Ants, Sharks, Bears, and, of course, the Squirrels. "

    At that point I laughed out loud and couldn't take anymore. But I persisted and found this gem at the end:

    "These are the demands and sayings of Lee."

    I think I just found a new favorite quote.

    But seriously, thankfully no one innocent was hurt. It sounds like the guy had some sort of mental illness that needed treatment.

    Yeah, I heard about this yesterday. This is more than just a guy with his priorities messed up. I read that they smashed out the windows of the day care to get the kids out; now I see the real danger they faced. If humans should just stop populating. . . why does he think there are humans on this planet in the first place?? It's a sick mindset we'll never understand, not that I want to. :(
    It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.

    I agree with you duck fan, it seems that this guy was in need of treatment for quite some time.
