    Girl: "Important things will be destroyed."

  • Virginians Pee Themselves Over Cheap Laptops
    I love me some cheap tehcnology. But not enough to lose urinary continence.
    People threw themselves forward, screaming and pushing each other. A little girl’s stroller was crushed in the stampede. Witnesses said an elderly man was thrown to the pavement, and someone in a car tried to drive his way through the crowd.

    Seventeen people suffered minor injuries, with four requiring hospital treatment, Henrico County Battalion Chief Steve Wood said. There were no arrests and the iBooks sold out by 1 p.m....Blandine Alexander, 33, said one woman standing in front of her was so desperate to retain her place in line that she urinated on herself.
