Women don't know about wings stalling, but they know about engines stalling. ``Yes, that's happened to me.'' Women like to relate. If the reporter got it right, the editor would change it for the women.
Witnesses said the Cessna 172S was circling above the beach when the engine stalled, and the aircraft quickly plunged. The pilot tried to right the four-year-old plane after it went into a tailspin, said Herbert Lecler, 51, who was fishing on the beach.

The bright side is that if Bush won't yield on a really stupid position like this, he won't yield on a good idea either, like the war on terror.

Conservationists Kill Pigs to Save Fox
invasive indians wiped out by wholesome licorice-loving pigs
In 1853, the first ranch pigs broke into the wild and, within a few years, their population swelled to hundreds. Voracious scavengers, the pigs dug into hillsides as they foraged for bulbs and grubs, and snuffed for acorns under majestic oaks, tearing up the roots.
That triggered erosion, destroyed Chumash Indian archaeological sites that are at least 8,000 years old and encouraged the growth of nonnative plants that choked out scrubby oaks and grasses. Fennel, an invasive species, now grows so prolifically that on a hot day the air carries the plant's licorice scent.
