Leave It To Beavers

 

MOUNT VERNON , Wash. - West Big Lake Blvd in Mount Vernon is closed following a flash flood like incident Friday night.

  The average human being farts up to 15 times a day. That’s not a big deal if you work in the open air, but slightly more problematic if you work in an office or shop, and potentially deadly if you are lucky enough to be an astronaut.  ”Farts can kind of hang out,” Mike told Gizmodo. “There’s not as much airflow as on Earth. You gotta introduce airflow to get rid of contaminants and carbon dioxide”. He says that astronauts’ digestive systems don’t work quite as well without the help of gravity, and they tend to get “a little stuffed up”. Generally, astronauts try to go to the loo if they feel a fart coming, where at least there’s a little more ventilation to break up the stink.  The problem is, says space expert Derrick Pitts from The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, that "If you fart...the gas stays right there. It doesn’t go anywhere. “If you fart in zero G, you have a major problem,” he adds. Many of the gases naturally produced by our digestive syst...

Police arrived at the scene, in the area of the 1100 block of Bellevue near E. Lafayette, about 10 p.m. or 10:30 p.m., Detroit Police Chief James White told reporters about 3 a.m. Saturday morning. It's believed the Crumbleys — facing charges of involuntary manslaughter connected to the Oxford High School mass shooting in which their son is accused — were let into a commercial building by someone, White said.  Police know who that someone is and those who aided the couple could face criminal charges, White said.

Crumbley

Evidently, Mommy and Daddy Crumbley are on the run: Police are searching for the Michigan school shooting suspect's parents just hours before they are to be arraigned on involuntary manslaughter charges.   Check the border crossing to Windsor, Ontario....

He will be tried as an adult and faces life in prison if convicted. The whole family seems to be dysfunctional.
