[expletive] nuts.
Fire investigators found “numerous packages of fireworks strategically placed and tied together with fuses and pipe cleaners throughout the vehicle,” court documents say. Investigators also found consumer-grade mortar shells attached to three headrests and lighter fluid and more fireworks in the glove compartment. The floorboard on the driver's side appeared to be soaked with gasoline and investigators also found a melted lighter.

As I type, there are two private wifi networks within range of this tablet labeled "honeypot1" and "honeypot2". I'm at work.

It's a computer security term.
Generally, a honeypot consists of a computer, data, or a network site that appears to be part of a network, but is actually isolated and monitored, and which seems to contain information or a resource of value to attackers. This is similar to the police baiting a criminal and then conducting undercover surveillance.

Okey doke, then. I've heard the term "honeypot" used before and that is not what it meant. So I guess nobody in this conference room was in the cast of "Munich".

Why Lebanon Censors Frank Sinatra, 'The West Wing'
BEIRUT, Lebanon — At the entrance to the March Lebanon office in Beirut there is a well-stocked bookshelf. Its contents include classics like "Of Mice and Men," "The Diary of Anne Frank," "The Da Vinci Code," "Sophie’s Choice" and the slightly less classy "Little Book of Big Penis."

Crack the covers and you’ll realize this isn’t any ordinary book collection. The pages are all blank. The Lebanese government has banned them. Turn it over and you might be surprised to read why. The reasons range from homosexual references and politics to religion and vague connection to things Jewish.

On an adjacent shelf sits an eclectic CD collection including Frank Sinatra (Banned: Zionist tendencies), Lady Gaga (Banned: Offensive to Christianity), The Buddha Bar Compilation (Banned: Religion) and Bad Religion (Banned: Offensive name).

1. "Puss in Boots" – Censored – Reason: Obscene and immoral. The name "Puss in Boots" was changed to "Cat in Boots" for Lebanese audiences / 2. Nirvana – Banned – Reason: witchcraft, Satanic. While every Nirvana album has been banned in Lebanon, the Nirvana best-of collection strangely passed inspection. / 3. "Nutty Professor" – Seized during a security services raid on the Beirut Virgin Megastore along with numerous other movies because the films "undermined religions, contravened good morals and Israeli boycott laws, or included texts inciting young people to commit suicide". / 4. "The Nanny" – Banned – Reason: Jewish.
