A funeral home is being sued by members of a New Mexico family after they received a bag of their grandmother's personal effects which just happened to include her brain. The brain was discovered when relatives smelled a foul odor coming from a bag they received from DeVargas Funeral Home and Crematory. Funeral home owner Johnny DeVargas says the mix-up is not the fault of his business. It could have been worse. They could have sent her whole head.

The Treasury Department cited a 1993 investment by the wife of a man who was declared a terrorist in 1995. Are internet companies really supposed to run background checks on their investors' husbands, or is the War on Terrorism's lack of due process catching innocent (Moslem) bystanders in its net? Are other ISPs at risk if they upset the government?"
