Today's weird news
 

After Brian Nichols grabbed a deputy's gun and shot
his way out of the courthouse in Fulton County, Ga., killing four
people, Ashley Smith was hailed as a hero. Smith, who Nichols took
hostage in her own apartment after his rampage, told police how she
convinced him to surrender by talking about God and reading aloud from
the book, "The Purpose-Driven Life". Now, Smith is putting out her own
book which details how she really got Nichols to cooperate: she gave
him her supply of crystal methamphetamine. Smith admits she was a meth
addict and had used the drug hours before she was taken hostage. "Do
you smoke it? How do you do it?" Nichols asked her when she handed her
stash over. She prepared the drug for him so he could snort it. "You
gave him drugs, Ashley," she said to herself at the time, but, she says
now, "God led me to do that." Smith received $70,000 in rewards for
capturing Nichols, and says she no longer takes drugs. (Atlanta

Well, now....

I think I'll write a little "What To Do If You're Ever Taken Hostage" book of my own. It's not going to be successful, though. I'm the one that said "what on earth is a 'tweaker'?" to a friend of mine.

It's a funny world out there. He murders four people then gets high with his hostage.

I wonder what the guys in prison had to say to him about that?????
