"Nerd" sailor burns down chat-room enemy's home
2007-07-27
Two years ago, Russell Tavares was a clean-cut 25-year-old entrusted with “very high clearance” in missile and fire control in the U.S. Navy, officials say.

Now he’s the subject of a bizarre, tragic story — one that McLennan County investigators say would be a fitting plot for a television crime drama about short tempers, long-distance vendettas and the Internet’s ability to bring various personalities into conflict.

heh, don't knock diapers, especially if you haven't tried the newer high duration and high capacity heavy duty models.

I swear by them now and wear them all day long, saves loads of time and fuss and lowers all yer anxiety lookin for public restrooms!
