quote of the day
Only in Kansas
"Yes, we have to divide up our time like that, between our politics and our equations. But to me our equations are far more important, for politics are only a matter of present concern. A mathematical equation stands forever."

ODD NEWS NY room made of chocolate unveiled for Valentine's Day NEW YORK CITY
Jessica Wicks
An all-chocolate room was unveiled in Manhattan on Tuesday — a pre-Valentine's Day creation
You could actually sit on the plush sofa, which was chocolate-graced only on its sides, and the walls are made of chocolate.
This year, anyone who buys the winning box of chocolates in Godiva's annual Valentine's Day promotion contest — for $23 and up — may win the chocolate room
There were a couple of 'donts' in the room: lighting the fireplace (with its chocolate logs and mantle) and the candles (all chocolate).
In addition, sinking into the easy chairs was discouraged — unless you wanted to rise with a chocolate-covered derriere.
ADRIAN, Mich. (AP) — A man was charged with drunken driving after going through two bottles of wine, cutting through a snowstorm on his lawn mower and riding down the center of the street to reach a liquor store, authorities said.
Intoxicated man takes lawn mower for a ride

Police found Frank Kozumplik, 49, homeward bound on a John Deere tractor Saturday night, toting four bottles of wine in a paper
His blood alcohol level was 2½ times Michigan's legal driving limit of 0.08 percent, police told WLEN-FM. They arrested him and confiscated the mower.
He told officers that his wife had taken their car to work, and that the mower was the only way he could reach the store.
Stricter airport security gives mayor trouble
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP)
Charleston Mayor Danny Jones had a problem as he tried to get through the security gate at a California airport. He had misplaced his driver's license.
The guards at John Wayne Airport in Orange County searched his bag, he told the Charleston Daily Mail.
Then he remembered picking up a copy of Charleston Magazine.
Inside was a photograph of him standing in downtown Charleston and an article Jones had written as mayor welcoming visitors to the state capital.
Only then was he allowed to board his flight home.
