We be burning

Emergency Mayhem might ring a bell with
you - it was one of the games that Acclaim were working on before they
ran into money troubles. Despite originally being announced way back at
E3 2004, Codemasters have somehow managed to salvage the remains and
are readying it for release on Wii.

A
PlayStation 2 version is also highly likely but is not yet confirmed -
this news comes from the latest issue of the The Official Nintendo
Magazine. They claim that it’s very similar to Crazy Taxi, only instead
of a cab you get behind the wheel of a police car, fire truck or
ambulance. Once a destination has been reached mini-games occur, which
range from defusing bombs to saving people from burning buildings.

Codemasters seem to have good faith in the Wii, with Heatseeker and
Dance Factory also both due out soon. That’s more than double their
entire GameCube output.

Cell Phone On Fire, It’s Serious

Found on blog.wired.com

We don’t mean to alarm you, but your cell phone may want to kill you.

How else to explain the story of a Vallejo, Calif., man who suffered second- and third-degree burns over most of his body  after the phone in his pocket mysteriously caught fire?

Investigators said that, judging from burn patterns, the cell phone in his right front pants pocket was the only possible source of the fire that awakened 59-year-old Luis Picaso on Saturday.

“There were no matches,” said Vallejo Fire Department investigator Bill Tweedy. “There were no lighters. He wasn’t smoking. The only source was the phone that was in his pocket. I know he didn’t spontaneously combust.”

“I don’t believe it’s a problem with any particular cell phone maker,” said Tweedy. “It’s a piece of electrical equipment. All electrical equipment can have a malfunction. This is a freak accident. … It could be any brand of phone that could do that.”

Picaso’s clothing and furniture choices contributed to the tragedy. He was wearing polyester double-knit slacks and a nylon soccer jersey and reclining in a plastic lawn chair, all exquisitely combustible.

Moral: Stick with natural fibers, and leave your phone on the bedstand.

One Year of Feral Gifter

Hard to believe it was a year ago that Feral Gifter was started.

The reason was I hurt and angry.

Now the reason is too have a little fun and promote Orgonite Gifting.

So if you see anything you like and have a little fun, please visit one of the following six.  They all go to the same place, but maybe one is easier to remember.

How to catch someone pranking a 911 call center? With a better prank, of course!

Found on Dvorak Uncensored from Associated Press

Knoxville Fire Department investigators used a ruse of their own to nab a man suspected of making a series of bogus emergency  calls on his cell phone.

After receiving a false report of a gas leak on Dec. 14,  firefighters compared notes.

They confirmed 15 fake 911 calls over a two-month period, including four house fires, six car crashes and various other  medical emergencies. All came from the same cell phone.

So they called the number and left a message saying the phone’s owner had won a gift card from a major retailer, Fire Capt. Brent Seymour said.

Within an hour, Seymour received a call back from a man identifying himself as the phone’s owner. “He willingly gave his name and address,” Seymour said. “I told him I would be sending that gift card.”

But that wasn’t quick enough to suit the man. He wanted the gift card in time for Christmas. So the investigators set up a meeting for that evening.

Seymour said he waited only a few minutes in a business parking lot before suspect Jason Mark Harms arrived on foot, identified himself as the gift card recipient and was arrested.

Seymour said Harms’ first words were, “You can’t prove it.”

But General Sessions Judge Charles Cerny found the evidence strong enough Wednesday to send 15 felony counts of making false reports against Harms to a Knox County grand jury.

Harms, 29, told authorities he thought he was doing taxpayers a favor by drawing otherwise lazy firefighters out of their cozy fire halls, according to court papers.
