1. I heard one woman wet her pants, rather than lose her place in line....
That's creepy.

2. My fave was the caption on channel 12-"Baby okay, stroller not"
What a complete cluster-f*** by all involved.

It was the funny news story of the day this morning on the Today Show. Apparently everyone was laughing at Henrico County.

7. Last Christmas, in my city here, a woman was trampled to death
when WalMart opened it's doors at 6am. She fell/was knocked down in a throng grasping at DVD players. The folks she was there with snatched one up during the stampede. They told the local media that they stayed behind to buy it because "she would've wanted it that way."

Yikes.
