Here is another one since the mods ate my homework:

Universal was not apathetic
Toward a man's lost leg (a prosthetic)
Dueling Dragons he rode
Til his hip threw its load
Perhaps we should summon a medic.

Theme park ends search for man's leg

The way I see it, he got off pretty easy. My last family vacation to Universal Studios Orlando cost me an arm and a leg!

good one, vast! that guy got off easy with just losing a leg. i heard that some longhaired amusement park operator was killed when he was greasing the tracks and his long flowing locks got caught up in the ride (*darwin candidate for not waiting til the ride was out of service*)and it lifted him up into the air and then he fell onto the fence. he croaked.

That's funny, Vast. When we were at Universal Studios in Hollywood this summer, the 'bot lost a cell phone.

This is hard to explain. Cyber and I were on the bottom portion of Universal and the 'bot wanted to ride a ride in the upper portion. So we gave him a cell phone to put in his pocket. This was at about 2:00 p.m. He came back and realized the cell phone was missing. We sent him back up to find it.

We are waiting and waiting and waiting for him to return. We called the cell phone, but no answer. Cyber's foot was just healing from the break, so I trekked up to the top portion -- it's not an easy trek. Found the 'bot who was waiting for us with the cell phone. A person working there would not let him go back down the I-don't-know-how-many escalators to get us. I gave her a piece of my mind!

Meantime, the 'bot got ahold of his dad on the cell phone as I was on my way down again. Saw Cyber as he was coming up. What a mess! It's not like Disneyland where everything closes at a certain time. The bottom portion of Universal closes at around 4:00 and everything else is open until 6:00.

We did go back the next day to catch the rides we missed the day before. I still like it better than D-land.
