On a lighter note

Don't mess with Thelma Carter. The Decatur Daily reports that the 74-year-old grandmother choked an intruder into her Decatur home on Sunday. In her words, "I grabbed him around the throat and I just strangled the living daylights out of him." Once the man had finally had enough of tangling with the pissed-off Grandma, he ran away. Mrs. Carter didn't want to leave it at that, though: "Last I saw him, he was running down the street.. . . I wished I had run after him and picked up something and knocked him in the head."

Now, that's the kind of story I like to hear.
