    Delta officials have confirmed to Channel 2 Action News that an unusual note was found on a Delta flight bound for Atlanta.

    Approximately 40 minutes from Atlanta, the crew of Flight 1747 reported that passengers on-board found an unusual note. Out of caution, the crew declared an emergency into Atlanta, officials said.

    Officials didn't go into detail or specify what the note said.

    The plane landed safely in Atlanta Friday.

    Delta officials said they are working with federal authorities to investigate where the note came from.

    Glenn Beck said Obama should appoint a "gay, black, woman in a wheelchair, who's an immigrant..." to the SCOTUS so no one can criticize his nomination. Even if she's the devil. WTF?

    -- Britain's postal service says it has suspended deliveries to a woman following repeated attacks by her 19-year-old cat.

    Royal Mail said Friday that it had halted deliveries because postal workers had already sustained "nasty injuries" at the address in the town of Farsley, near Leeds in northern England.

    The woman was identified as a 43-year-old pharmacy worker. Media reports say she found it hard to believe that her cat, named "Tiger," could be behind the attacks.

    She told two newspapers the animal spent most of its day sleeping and didn't have the energy to chase postal workers.
    Attack cat!

    The local man received serious burns to his head, chest and arms after touching wiring.

    He was taken to Sheffield's Northern General Hospital where his condition is described as serious but stable.

    'Charred bodies'

    South Yorkshire Police said that the gate into the substation compound had been forced and metal piping had been removed.

    Peter McCormick of CE Electric UK, the company that owns the electricity distribution network in Yorkshire, said: "The perpetrator has received an excruciating electric shock and has been left with horrific burns.

    "He is extremely lucky to be alive.

    "To the untrained and uninitiated, substations are potentially fatal and in the past our staff have discovered charred bodies in substations after similar incidents."

    He added that substation break-ins can cause up to 30,000 properties to be left without electricity.

    "It's bad enough that this individual has put his own life on the line, but the total lack of concern for the safety of others is unforgivable," Mr McCormick said.

    A certain US soft drinks giant may disagree, but Bolivia has come up with a fizzy beverage it says is the real thing: Coca Colla.

    The drink, made from the coca leaf and named after the indigenous Colla people from Bolivia's highlands, went on sale this week across the South American country.

    It is black, sweet and comes in a bottle with a red label – but similarities to Coca-Cola end there. One is a symbol of US-led globalisation and corporate might; the other could be considered a socialist-tinged affront to western imperialism.

    The first batch of 12,000 bottles, priced about $1.50 (96p) for half a litre, were distributed in the capital, La Paz, as well as Santa Cruz and Cochabamba.

    The familiar-sounding name and packaging may rile the Atlanta-based soft drinks manufacturer, but Coca Colla could also cause groans in Washington.

    It is made from the coca leaf, a mild stimulant that wards off fatigue and hunger, and has been used in the Andes for thousands of years in cooking, medicine and religious rites.

    Coca is also the raw ingredient of cocaine, the powerful narcotic that is the primary target of the US-led "war on drugs".

    Bolivia tried to wipe out the leaf at Washington's behest. But that was before Evo Morales, an Aymara Indian and coca grower, was elected president, championing coca as a crop with legitimate uses.

    The socialist government vowed zero tolerance for cocaine but expelled drug enforcement administration agents, accusing them of spying, and encouraged Bolivian companies to use coca to make teas, syrups, toothpaste, liqueurs, sweets and cakes.

    It backed Coca Colla from the beginning. "We are seeing how we can give it impetus, because the industrialisation of coca interests us," the deputy minister of rural development, Victor Hugo Vázquez, told the news agency Efe earlier this year.

    If the coca spin-offs work out, the government said the area of land authorised for legal cultivation of the leaf may expand from 12,000 hectares to as much as 20,000 hectares.

    The US warned that most of the coca crop would be siphoned off for cocaine, and accused Bolivia of failing to co-operate in the fight against drugs.

    Coca-Cola, which denies ever having used cocaine in its recipe, did not immediately respond to requests for its views on the Andean upstart.

    It is not the first time the corporation has faced a South American coca rival. In 2005, Paez Indians in south-western Colombia launched Coca Sek, which was also based on coca extracts, and sought to promote the cultivation and everyday consumption of the coca leaf, including in tea. But the drink was banned the following year amid pressure from the international narcotics control board, the body responsible for implementing United Nations drugs conventions.

    That's more expensive than the real Coca Cola...Who in Bolivia can actually afford this?

    A small church in Godfrey made history Friday.

    For the first time in 163 years, its members have running water.

    "Seeing that the development is coming up around, they figured we had water because of all the homes around but we didn't," said the Rev. Brian Williams Sr., pastor of Rocky Fork Church.

    The church, once a link in the Underground Railroad, tried to get a water line but learned it was too expensive.

    "When we tried to get the water line in, it was in the hundreds of thousands as far as labor and material cost," Williams said.

    So time marched on, until the congregation finally decided to take matters into its own hands.

    "We realized we could do it ourselves," Williams said. "You know, our labor, our costs. And, we did it."

    The project cost about $3,000. Before this, church members would tap into a nearby fire hydrant for water, paying a quarter a gallon and trucking the water back to a tank at the church.

    "We would use water for the dishes and the bathroom. ... We just never drank it. We just used it for flushing toilets and all that," said the pastor's mother, Joan Williams.

    The original church was built in 1863 by Erasmus Green and Andrew Jackson Hindman, the great-great grandfather of the current pastor.

    That building burned down in the late 1920s. Rebuilt shortly afterward, the church used bottled water for such rites as baptisms.

    Church leaders said attendance has improved with the new water line.

    HOLY SHIT MARBY POSTING HERE MADE ME GO WTF.

  22. #322
    Hi Marby! Glad you finally decided to surface over here!


    WTF---today is a 2nd Amendment rally in Virginia, and they're all toting guns in a public park. Why didn't someone tell them today is the anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing? Maybe it's just me, but that sounds like either poor planning, or purposely stirring up public emotion and in bad taste.

    Probably just you. I always thought the federal building was destroyed with a bomb in the back of a U-Haul, and not with a volley of small arms fire. But thanks for setting me straight.

    Bad mood today, huh. The bombing was part of using "violence to show our hatred of government" and all that. A lot of these gun guys are saying "we need our guns to protect against the government", not just self-protection from citizen criminals, but suggesting a militia or coup in the future.

    And you damn well know it.

    By your logic, all dissent or political protest should be banned on certain dates. (Or, at the very least, is in "bad taste.")

    Not at all, I didn't say one word about BANNING.

    But if they're totally unaware of important recent historical violence, they also can't use that as a "talking point" to describe what their real intent is....or what their real issue/rally is about. On a day when (at least media) would be asking those questions. Bad taste, bad PR, bad planning, whatever you want to call it.

    Clearly, no one should do anything that could possibly be linked to anything violent on any date that something violent has happened in the past.

    A WTF within the WTF thread.

    Now really, what kind of group holds a pro gun rally on the anniversary of a domestic bombing, assuming they want media coverage for their "cause"? They either want to ride the coat tails of violence, or don't want to be associated with that kind of thing. Which is it here?

    Besides me grasping at straws and all....

    A Brooklyn, N.Y., man loves pizza so much that he intends to eat it for every meal, every day, for an entire month.

    Nick Sherman told News 12 in Brooklyn he plans to eat pizza at a difference place every day this April.

    He said the hardest part so far is missing out on all the other food he can't have, such as macaroni and cheese and candy. He said he almost slipped and came close to eating a churro the other day.

    "I saved it until we got to the pizzeria and put it on top of my pizza," he said.

    The graphic designer said he's always loved pizza. Growing in Massachusetts, he tried to visit every pizzeria in the area.

    Now in New York, he's hitting up all the hot spots in Brooklyn and beyond.

    He said that once pizza month is over, his first meal will likely again be pizza.
    Eww.
