February 25, 200521 yr so was it an accident or on purpose? the first part of story suggests accident and the last suggest on purpose...
February 25, 200521 yr Author Since they didn't arrest him, but did send him for an evaluation, my guess is he did it on purpose but they think he wasn't really aware of what he was doing. I wonder if he's a Talking Heads fan?? Watch out you might get what you're after Cool babies strange but not a stranger I'm an ordinary guy Burning down the house Hold tight wait 'til the party's over Hold tight we're in for nasty weather There has got to be a way Burning down the house Here's your ticket pack your bag; time for jumpin' overboard Transportation is here Close enough but not too far, maybe you know where you are Fightin' fire with fire All wet hey you might need a raincoat Shakedown dreams walking in broad daylight Three hundred sixty five degrees Burning down the house It was once upon a place sometimes I listen to myself Gonna come in first place People on their way to work say baby what did you expect Gonna burst into flame Go ahead My house S'out of the ordinary That's right Don't want to hurt nobody Some things sure can sweep me off my feet Burning down the house No visible means of support and you have not seen nothing yet Everything's stuck together I don't know what you expect staring into the TV set Fighting fire with fire Burning down the house Burning down the house Burning down the house
February 25, 200521 yr At my last job, I wanted to design a smoke detector that plays either "Burnin' Down the House" or "Put Out the Fire" - Queen with the buzzing sound (UL mandates smoke detectors to have this). They wouldn't let me.

They wouldn't let me. LOL. A father noticed that his son was spending way too much time playing computer games. In an effort to motivate the boy into focusing more attention on his schoolwork, the father said to his son, ''When Abe Lincoln was your age, he was studying books by the light of the fireplace.'' The son replied, ''When Lincoln was your age, he was The President of The United States.''

But everyone goes through breakups, you just have to learn how to handle it.
