glad to see the scientific method still at work!!

actually, come to think of it, yesterday i arrived at 5th/70th street
just after a woman was tragically struck by a truck. and, get this,
an hour or so ago, i happened upon a taxi around the corner from my
office which was completely ablaze. maybe as you're the recipient of
this email....

eeeek.
