Candle News of the Weird

Wednesday February 1, 2006
Naturally, when the headline "Deputy Shoots Man After Getting Hit with Hot Wax" came into my email box, I was curious. O.k...I know we're not supposed to drink and drive...but burning candles while driving? Or perhaps he got his lunch to go, and was having a candle light meal in his car (those McDonald's eating areas have such harsh lighting sometimes (grin)). But to have enough melted wax to actually throw, the suspect would have had to have been burning the candle for quite some time! So, the moral of the story seems to be, if you must eat in your car, please do it by sunlight or domelight, but not candle light.
