Mark Woods, an 18-year-old UC Davis economics major, was arrested today after authorities found a couple of pipe bombs in his dorm room, going well above and beyond the school's no hot plate policy.

The death of two horses found at a Solano County ranch last Saturday has been ruled accidental. It seems that they "died after they collided, breaking their spinal cords," and not because of any foul play. According to Marisa Lagos over at the Gate:

So, we’ll admit that we are completely hooked on all sorts of herbal and homeopathic remedies. We wander down the aisles at Rainbow with awe. We love that tingly-clean feeling we imagine we feel when we splurge on a kombucha tea. We dream about detoxing out all of our sludge.

Continuing with our theme of mayhem in the streets, we have news of two accidents today, one involving a death. Today in San Francisco, there was a hit-and-run that left one dead and three hurt. This all occurred late last night, around 12:30 AM when a minivan traveling north on Laguna Street went through a red light at Fulton Street and hit a cab. The cab then spun out, hit a pole, and then collided into a parked car. The driver then fled the scene and was arrested later somewhere in the East Bay. Most of the people hurt in the accident worked at Bar Crudo sushi restaurant.

Sharks 2 Blues 0- the Sharks good early run continues on as they shut out the St. Louis Blues. It's their second shutout in a row and their third straight win. It's also their third win in five of its past six games and nine of its past eleven games. Not too shabby.

We've never been happier that our dead cat's cremains reside in a little box, than when we heard about how Pet's Rest Cemetery must exhume about 1000 of its residents. The lease is up on the property the animals were laid to rest in, and the landlords want it back. The cemetery's owner claimed he thought he'd be able to buy the land, the land's owners say he should have known better, and the late pets guardians are pissed. Of course, all we can think about is a very cute version of . ""You son of a bitch, you moved the headstones but you didn't move the bodies!"

Cole Stratton isn't just one of the founders of SF Sketchfest, which starts tomorrow. (Are you going? We are, and you should, too.)

Scared enough yet, with all this talk about Avian Bird Flu and quarantines and the Government saying "we got it under control" and the TomKat pregnancy? Well get ready 'cause things are about to get scarier. Some computer scientist at UC Davis just put together some new fangled computer system and determined that there is a 25% chance that there will be huge earthquake somewhere within 150 miles of San Francisco in the next twenty years.

"Because tonight, tonight, tonight - oh. Gonna make it right, tonight, tonight, tonight - oh." In the immortal words of Phil Collins, we're referring to our SFist shindig down at Milk, which everyone within the sight of these words should be attending tonight. Because the Iron and Wine show at Slim's is sold out anyway, you aren't a big enough old school GNR fan to see Adler's Appetite at Pound SF, and you're dying to find out if us SFists are as toothsome in person as our clever words make us out to be. Afterwards, you can stay at Milk for the Future Primitive Sound event with D Sharp, Derrick D, Similak Chyld and special guests or you could head down to Popscene to check out West Indian Girl and Phoenix, who have a happy French pop thing going on, not unlike Tahiti 80.

Oakland one step closer to dream of Giant Pandas.
