Geez.

I just finished reading about the spread of noroviruses, and now this thread.

Sometimes my timing just sucks.

I would have thought they would have installed this at the Dupont Circle station first.

Bin Ladin Found!

BBC, London

In an incredible breakthrough in the war on terror, bin Ladin was found today by a group of British sixth-grade school boys while performing a ritual "baptism" ceremony on one of their classmates.

To their amazement, as they were forcing the head of their peer into one of the scum-covered toilets, the lad screamed out - I FOUND HIM! I FOUND BIN LADIN!! - HE'S RIGHT HERE IN THIS $HI$$ER!!!

The lad's name who discovered bin Ladin hiding in the toilet was not disclosed due to protection of a minor. However, he and his parents were very grateful for the "baptismal" ceremony and for the huge reward money.

They mentioned something about donating a box of Comet cleanser to the school district as a token of their appreciation.

If they go through with this, I predict Metro will smell like the NYC subway within 6 months.

Yeah, right.

There's a reason they chose Huntington Station at the end of the Yellow line. For those not familiar with the DC area and the Metro system, the area around Huntington Station is mostly white. Most of the people boarding or exiting at this station are white and middle class.

So the results of this one year trial will be greatly skewed. That's why they didn't chose Anacostia Station for the trial. It's a mostly black, poor area. I'm sure they wouldn't like the results of a trial period in that location.
