News -- Lottery number on 9/11 is 911: http://www.msnbc.com/news/807167.asp?pne=msn &cp1=1

Comment -- What are the odds of that happening? Pretty weird coincidence. The article says that many customers chose the 911 number to bet on that day.

News -- Great...West Nile Virus may be in the blood supply: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A10306-2002Sep12.html

Comment -- Brandon sent this story along. "Both Goodman and Petersen urged the public not to doubt the overall safety of the American blood supply. "For the average person, if they need a transfusion, the benefits of getting that transfusion far outweigh any risk, including the risk of getting West Nile virus," Petersen said."

Still, makes you think it would be a good idea, if you were facing surgery, to stockpile a supply of your own blood.
