We speak from experience here. The experience was, back in the 1970s, when we lived in Pennsylvania, we woke up on New Year's Day lying on a lawn. And it was not our lawn. We're still not sure whose lawn it was.

Every year, the Miami Herald runs a story like this one, reminding people that it is a bad idea to participate in the longstanding South Florida tradition of ringing in the new year by shooting firearms into the air, because -- and apparently not everybody down here is aware of this -- the bullets eventually come back down.
One year the Herald printed a letter to the editor written by a man who condemned the practice of shooting guns into the air as irresponsible, and suggested instead that people shoot their guns into the ground. Really.
...is finding out what's inside the packages.

Bacon's Information, a media research company for public relations and corporate communications professionals, has assigned three editors to monitor the blogosphere. In January, subscribers of Bacon's MediaSource service will receive background information and updates on the 250 "most reputable" Weblogs covering technology, politics, business, travel, and religion. Although Bacon's hasn't released its list of preferred blogs, publisher Ruth McFarland told MediaPost.com that the Silicon Valley Watcher, Wonkette, and humor columnist Dave Barry's blog will be spot-checked by her editorial team.Poynteronline
