To be added (or taken off) my daily search ping list - just freepmail me! (o:

Excellent research, as is normal for you.

Are we now to accept 'toy' as the code word for bomb?

It is going to be worse for the next couple days, with all the planning that goes into halloween.

Halloween has scared me for years, I do not think it is fun at all.

We think that our prayers to God for someone, generates a healing energy field for his use in healing.

I think that the "thoughts of evil" will generate a negative energy field in the world.

Please folks, the 29th is both a day that people want to look evil (and will be celebrating halloween) and it is the muslim day of determination, therefore there is going to be a very bad 'negative energy field' throughout the world.

Thanks to LibertyRocks for pointing to this article.
Noting that once in awhile we see these vending machine
explosions come up in news articles.
