http://www.news.com.au/story/0,27574,25019889-421,00.html A TEENAGE boy has been choked to death in a bizarre motorcycle accident. The 16-year-old victim was found dead on a fire trail by a passer-by off Katara Rd, at Warnervale on the Central Coast. The Wadalba High School student was making the most of a late start on Friday because of the teacher's two-hour stop work meeting yesterday to go riding with mates, The Daily Telegraph reports. He had gone home to get a rope after one of their bikes became bogged in sand but when he failed to return his friends dug the bike out by hand and left. At 11.30am a passer-by raised the alarm when he discovered the 16-year-old's body strangled by a length of nylon rope. It appears the teenager was carrying the rope coiled around his head and shoulder when an end came loose and caught in the chain's sprockets causing it to instantly tighten around his neck.

Hi Folks, If you believe in this stuff, please email your Representative and Senators. There are provisions in a bill being considered now which provides tax credits for plug-in and hybrid vehicles. I know, who cares, well me this time because it includes two wheeled plug-ins. While impractical for some due to the limited ranges (100 miles at last check), they are very good in city and suburban environments. There's the spiel, if you agree, or disagree, please contact you contingent in Washington, DC and let them know how you want them to vote. albatross with a good flow of electrons running through his veins
