Remember to tie your shoelaces
Chicago Sun Times: "''I snagged my shoelace, missed the step and crash, bang, wallop. There were a million pieces of high quality Qing ceramics lying around underneath me,'' said Nick Flynn, 42, of Fowlmere, a village near Cambridge."
The story continues with the Chinese who thinks Flynns wallop was an attack on their culture and history:
IOL: Nick Flynn, 42, said he hadn't meant to cause offence to people in Hong Kong or China when he destroyed the Qing Dynasty treasures after tripping over his shoelaces at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, eastern England.

Comp-virus turns twenty
BBC NEWS: "The virus was discovered in January 1986 but may have been written some time before that as it used a relatively slow method to travel.
Brain was known as a "boot-sector" virus because of the area on a floppy disk it hid on. By concealing itself in this region, the virus could ensure that it would be installed every time that floppy disk was used on another computer. The Brain virus is now extinct."
"The most significant change has been the evolution of virus writing hobbyists into criminally operated gangs bent on financial gain."
