Did you see this--from something called the "Darwin awards"? [Bloomsburg News Service] A terrible diet and room with no ventilation are being blamed for the death of a man who was killed by his own gas. There was no mark on his body but an autopsy showed large amounts of methane gas in his system. His diet had consisted primarily of beans and cabbage (and a couple of other hings). t was just the right combination of foods. It appears that the man died in his sleep from breathing the poisonous cloud that was hanging over his bed.Had he been outside or had his windows been opened, it wouldn't een fatal. But the man was shut up in his near airtight bedroom. According to the article, "He was a big man with a huge capacity for creating this deadly gas." Three of the rescuers got sick and one was hospitalized.

Well this stupid market with all these dipsters has me daytrading PUTs now, as if swing trading was not hair raising enough. LOL I got EMLX almost on the nose today. Bought PUTs at 84 and sold at 75. WEBM at 78 and sold at 74, and NEWP at 77 and sold at 73. For 50%, 24% and 15% gains or something like that thereof. I somehow feel screwed on EMLX. I think I paid too much to enter (I bought in the money PUTs and had a drop of nearly 9 points but only picked up half that on the sale). I also bought an sold RIMM puts out flat. My best play has been LTBH EMC puts. From 78 and 72. It just keeps dropping dropping dropping. Thanks to Earlie on this one. Hope he is in on it. I hate this pressure all these stupid dipsters are putting on me with CIEN(holding a big position on CIEN from 98 and 92 and it simply refuses to drop any further), EMLX, and especially RIMM. I am not sure RIMM is worth the aggravation. The dipsters buy RIMM and push up the price every day but those that start down and stay down. M
