(04-19) 13:09 PDT DALY CITY -- A 19-year-old gas-station worker in
Daly City was electrocuted as he was changing a fluorescent light, an
autopsy found Monday.

Mustafa Algazawy of San Francisco was changing a 16-foot-long,
120-volt bulb at the 76 gas station on South Mayfair Avenue when he
was electrocuted about 1:20 p.m. Sunday, said San Mateo County Coroner
Robert Foucrault.


Is there really any such thing as a 16 foot bulb?


Is there any such thing as a competent journalist?


Sure there is.
But all competent journalists are unemployed.

Cuz, well, iny moron can cull press releases, and special interests as often
as not submit "the article" pre-written, pre-formatted down to the
column-inch, so all's the "journalist" has to do is add his byline.

I love reading the NYTimes Book Review as well.-- half those goddamm book
reviewers are just profiling themselves, and/or are tyrna show the world
they know more about the subject than the author they are reviewing.

The dick-waving never ends.

Heh, I was wondering about those 16-footers myself.
