HOUSE FIRE WRECKS MY MOM'S HOME.

It's the latest entry, thus far. While poking around the Internets with a Google image search, checking to see if Hal was attempting the Google Image trick again, I thought to look up Encyclopedia Dramatica to see if the Hal article had been updated to accomodate Hal's last posting (included with which are 47 comments, most by supporters, some by Anonymii, and of course, some by Internet Tough-Guys). Lo and behold, it was, and with it a couple of interesting links.

Fire kills boy, 3.
Deadly house fire in Scranton.
and linking from the second article...
Looking for the cause of a deadly fire.

Hal claims that the cause was electrical. When I checked his site five minutes ago, to see the 47 comments, that remark wasn't there. Or maybe I missed it.

So one fire, occuring Tuesday afternoon, precedes another fire, Wednesday morning. What's more, I can't find anything on Hal's Mom's fire. Absolutely nothing. You'd think there'd be some reportage of one fire practically right after another, but no, I can't seem to dredge up anything. So she either lives way the fuck out in the boonies of Scranton, or it never happened.

More on this later.
