Joel Zumaya wanted to save some of the things from his parents' home before the California wildfires closed in and burned everything to the ground. In doing so, a "heavy box" fell on him, hurt his shoulder, and now he's sidelined until the middle of 2008. His entire career is in jeopardy.
How does a heavy box fall onto your shoulder in the attic? How tall are the ceilings in that attic, and how high are you stacking the boxes? Joel Zumaya is 6'3, so for a heavy box to fall from such a height as to create the velocity necessary to injure a professional athlete's shoulder, you're looking at at least a seven foot stack. Are Joel Zumaya's parents lumberjacks? Was he lying on the attic floor?
They should trade him to the Cubs and let him get shot in the chest by an old copy of Donkey Kong.

FuneralOnAShip: Your pinky gets sore at first just because you're not used to using it so much. But once you get to the point that you're using orange frets (which shouldn't come until hard, not medium, unless Neversoft messed that up too), you should move your hand down so your pinky is on the orange and you can use your index finger to cover yellow and green. It's a lot less stressful than trying to cover two frets with your pinky.

ClevlenIndians: what |

I am both awed and terrified when ancient Simpsons references come to life in this manner.
