Saw this on Ars Technica:
When scanning goes wrong, tonight on Fox
Posted 7/22/2002 - 4:55PM, by Caesar
A few of you have managed to stop laughing long enough to send word of this horrifically humorous formula for disaster: 11 year-old girl + old scanner + innocent idea = call the fire department. The young girl was hoping to capture a scan of her face, but somehow, some way (it's difficult for me to imagine), her upper lip got stuck and pulled partially around a roller. The fire brigade managed to release her from the jaws of the scanner, lip intact.
"This kind of accident is not something we've come across before," said a spokeswoman for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents. "It goes without saying that it's not a good idea to put parts of your body into a computer scanner, but then kids will be kids."
Well, at least it was a girl. I'm sure in a parallel universe there's a 13-year old boy who had a much more foolish project in mind.
Yeah. Kids may be kids, but boys will certainly be boys!
LOL!
Take care now, and people - do stay away from them malicious scanners, alright?

Found this in the Nvidia videocard newsgroup. It's ye olde porn spam, which is trying to get around spam filters by using an 'artificial English generator' to make each post unique. So what is that? Well, you'll see for yourself what I mean...
Yes, I kept the link. If you click on it, I'm sure you'll get smacked by umpteen porn popups and end up at a site that isn't free at all. So my recommendation is to not click.

Free porn!!
Ayaz, have a poor coffee. You won't fill it.
The hats, papers, and puddles are all sour and noisy.

They are ordering around the cellar now, won't move cards later.
How will we promise after Ronnie learns the weak highway's coffee?
Tariq jumps the gardner over hers and truly creeps. When will you
kick the good sweet pumpkins before Zachary does? The stickers,
elbows, and bowls are all filthy and stale. I was shouting wrinkles to
closed Winifred, who's joining to the film's plain.
It should dine sadly if Mikie's fig isn't bitter. Hardly any
active shirts to the smart ocean were playing above the kind
sunshine. She can frantically wander throughout Anne when the
rural pears arrive within the dark stadium. Try not to clean
bimonthly while you're tasting on a rude can. When did Hakeem
look beside all the hats? We can't explain units unless Dave will
quickly receive afterwards. It will dream dully, unless Brion
opens frogs against Satam's bandage. What does Hassan improve so
furiously, whenever Evan lifts the stupid frame very familiarly?
Some abysmal wet cap excuses doses below Beryl's younger butcher. Try
wasting the obelisk's lower desk and Founasse will nibble you!
Frederick! You'll care exits. There, I'll judge the porter.
She will live the old farmer and pull it at its spring. We hate once,
fear slowly, then love outside the tree through the street.
When did Shelly sow the draper at the upper cobbler? Don't try to
grasp a fork!
We recollect the short enigma.
The original post was MUCH longer and filled with more of the above nonsense, but I thought that last one-line paragraph was fitting to end with.
