The Lexicographer's Rules

"Above and beyond everything, the one thing I will never forget to my dying day, is the view of the people on the roof and higher floors of the World Trade Center lined up in the windows and on railings. You cannot see their expressions, but it is amazing what a 40 power telescrope reveals. They often huddled, probably talked about their chances, and sometimes went back into the building, or maybe, just laid on the floor. But then, some went to the edge, and jumped. Some jumped in pairs, holding hands. I doubt if they were married or lovers. I think it was just two people, alone, desparate, black, white, oriental,who caresŃthe telescope looking through the heat waves and smoke didn't allow me to distinguish age and race. They would just pair up and jump."

—Andrew @ Diary X. "As each building imploded, an immense amount of burning kerosene, moulten aluminum, white hot steel, cement heated into dust, and sundry smouldering flammables spread out in an inverted mushroom cloudŃinverted in that it spread along the earth, and unlike an atom bomb did not spread out above. As each building imploded, this burning cloud of asbestos laden dust spread out from river to river and as high as the original erect World Trade Centers. I imagine that most of the deaths of the rescue workers came from being enveloped in this thousand degree dust cloud. On one ambulance caught up in the cloud, all of the paint was burned off of one side, according to one radio report."'
