A wave of animal cruelty has the World Wildlife Federation up in arms. On the first day of this new year a lion was found viciously mauled. A week later, a bengaled tiger was discovered horribly beaten. While the lion only had fresh wounds, the tiger appears to have been suffering
regular beatings for years.

Just seven days after that, a colt was found battered. People at the scene said it kept muttering something about not getting enough protection. A few days ago, Denver authorities found another horse, this time a bronco, wandering the streets. The horse was not physically injured,
but quite dazed and confused. When asked about the incident, the hapless horse said “I was at home and everything was fine. I was about to feed my pet snake when he started choking and screaming about some sort of terrible towel following it around.”

Rumor has it that the next target will be some sort of bird, a seahawk. All of the victims report trying to peek behind a giant steel curtain shortly before their incidents. As a result, the following warning has been issued to all animals:

Peek behind a steel curtain, get hit by THE BUS.

All I wanted for Christmas was an iPod (and the new Billy Joel box set and a mixer and a sewing machine and a brand new beautiful house… I digress) so my dear wonderful husband set out to make my Christmas Wish come true. We found what we thought was a pretty good deal on a 40GB 3rd Gen iPod and purchased it from a relatively reputable seller on eBay. It arrived, but Matt discovered that it didn’t come with the USB cable that connects the iPod to the computer. The product description didn’t actually *say* it came with the cable, so Matt went searching & purchased one from somebody else, again on eBay. Christmas came and I was finally allowed to have my new toy, but it wouldn’t turn on. We also discovered that we had no charger. The charger *was* listed in the product description, so Matt decided he would email the seller. A few days later, Matt’s dad gave us all of his stuff for his 20GB iPod that he never ever uses and told us we could keep it. We used his charger to try to get my iPod to work. It would charge, but then the battery would die very quickly. Matt emailed the sellers. Twice. The second time, he mentioned that he might leave negative feedback if he didn’t get a response. They responded quickly and we sent the iPod back so that they could test it to see if it was truly defective. Today, we got confirmation that our account was refunded for the full price of the purchase.
Now, we’re working with the 20GB iPod to make sure it works properly. If there’s something wrong with *this* iPod’s battery, we can ship it back to Apple & they’ll replace it for a reasonable fee. In the end, what I thought might be too expensive a Christmas request might actually turn out to be *FREE*
