S Korea probes 'cell phone death'

Authorities in South Korea are investigating the death of a man amid reports he may have been killed by an exploding mobile phone battery.

Gil, this is your god calling. What
do you think you are doing? Where
have you been. There was that
thing with that girl you slept with
and I didn't hear from you
then that drunk phone call
when she left you for that
one-eyed doctor you
suspected that was to happen
anyway. Gil,
did you hear about the miner
down in shanghai
his cell phone blew up
and fried his
heart like robin's egg? Gil
i miss you. Its
hard to reach you when you're
hiding in the shaft.

Tests end Texan goat-sucker stir

US scientists say an animal found in Texas is not the chupacabra - or goat-sucker - of American myth, but a coyote with a hair loss problem.

I am the ghost of the unknown soldier
the crocodile of christmas past
the oil baron with a heart
the compassionate conservative
the coathanger abortion of dreams.
Take me from here
this texas prarie
bury me in the science past.
My carcass sprouts the cure for cancer
my bones are WMDs. Do you remember
when you were in that Waco bar
and the waitress showed you a small kindness
her mom tattoo of truth? I am
the tall double. I am George Bush's sobriety,
I am the fountain of youth.
