Slow news day?

93-year-old man's pants catch fire

A 93-year-old man’s pants caught on fire Thursday afternoon while he fought a brush fire in [] emergency responders said.

Emergency dispatchers received the call at 2:34 p.m. about a small brush fire on the [] Road.

No structures were damaged, and the man was not seriously injured, according to initial reports.

Walnut Hill firefighters responded to the fire. No other information is available at this time.

In other words: a non-newsworthy event took place. Wow. I'm reminded of this "prediction" for weather made by Pat Robertson.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. -- Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson says God told him storms and possibly a tsunami will hit America's coastline this year.

...

"If I heard the Lord right about 2006, the coasts of America will be lashed by storms," Robertson said May 8.

Really Pat? There may be some weather on the coasts this year? Don't stick your neck out too far there. And I don't know what it's like to be spoken to by the Lord, but I would assume what he says wouldn't be in question. I'm guessing that if the divine savior of humanity speaks to you, you would pay attention, is what I'm saying.

It's obviously a slow news day here at Seattle Scribe headquarters, so here's a funny clip from Robot Chicken where The Emperor takes a call from Darth Vader (worksafe, bleeped curses). Seth Green can be annoying, but this show is still underrated.
