Okay, okay, so maybe the nine Washington state troopers won't be consigned to the fiery circle of hell reserved for fraudulent frauds. Who knows if hell even exists?

While "Kablowie" Zarqawi enjoys the sexual ministrations of 72 virgins, a Fort Lewis soldier is sitting in Thurston County Jail for allegedly wanting to sleep with just one.

A barn containing 17,000 chickens went up in smoke in Yelm Saturday, which, from a chicken's perspective, is only slightly more tragic than a poultry farm barn containing 17,000 chickens in the first place.
