Last night George Harrison and his wife Olivia were knife-stabbed by a 33 year old intruder in their home. BBC reports that the Police think that intruder was not a burglar but that the attack was deliberate. Sad. "The quote he gave me was that the man wasn't a burglar but that he certainly wasn't auditioning for the Travelling Wilburys". Another quote from the article: "the one inch stab wound was deep enough to penetrate through the wall of Mr Harrison's chest, but the blade had missed any major organs. [...] Harrison's wife, who was treated for minor injuries, is at his hospital bedside." Apparently the house was well guarded. The Thames Vally Police have their own newssite. The snow is gone. It's snowing! It's snowing!! Big snowflakes gently, ever so gently descending... it's so beautiful!! Snow. Ahhhh. At last - an end-of-the-century list that actually is worth reading: "our list of 20 techno screwups celebrates 100 years of stupidity, ignorance, pig headedness, and plain bad luck." :-) "3, 2, 1, engines start... and we have liftoff. [...] We have an anomaly."
