Man Is Rescued by Stranger on Subway Tracks:

Mr. Autrey was waiting for the downtown local at 137th Street and Broadway in Manhattan around 12:45 p.m. He was taking his two daughters, Syshe, 4, and Shuqui, 6, home before work.

Nearby, a man collapsed, his body convulsing. Mr. Autrey and two women rushed to help, he said. The man, Cameron Hollopeter, 20, managed to get up, but then stumbled to the platform edge and fell to the tracks, between the two rails.

The headlights of the No. 1 train appeared. “I had to make a split decision,” Mr. Autrey said.

So he made one, and leapt.

Mr. Autrey lay on Mr. Hollopeter, his heart pounding, pressing him down in a space roughly a foot deep. The train’s brakes screeched, but it could not stop in time.

Five cars rolled overhead before the train stopped, the cars passing inches from his head, smudging his blue knit cap with grease. Mr. Autrey heard onlookers’ screams. “We’re O.K. down here,” he yelled, “but I’ve got two daughters up there. Let them know their father’s O.K.”

On an iPod-related note, it's all and good to know the repair status for mine is "Replacement Product Shipped", but the shipment tracking number they've provided is pretty useless without know what company is shipping it, isn't it?

Will the canonization of America's founders trump the irrational fears of some of its citizens?

Yeah, we did. As I recall, his wife hated the city. Deja vu?

EDIT: I guess he divorced his wife. Never mind.

As the problem is defence, the Oilers have picked up star defenceman Petr Nedved off of waivers? 'Tha fuck?!?!

This makes a Madden game look half decent... like you could actually catch the ball.

Even just when he first puts in the hubcaps, that's depressing as hell.

Although there's something comfortingly familar about that car's colour scheme.

This is for Andy... I expect you to do everything in MS Paint from now on.
