MEDINA, Ohio (Reuters) - Investigators on Monday examined the wreckage of an antique steam-powered tractor to determine why it blew up at a county fair, killing four and injuring dozens more with flying shrapnel and hot oil.


Gotta be careful at them county fairs. Maybe Billy Ray Cyrus will blow up next.

Woostah is just so much nicer than the other. As Squim is much nicer than Sequim, ya hypocrite.

And talk to me about my mom on a foggy day. Then you'll hear the accent. Washington may have taken the accent out of me, but I still prefer birches to alders, so I haven't been completely Westernized, thank goodness.

Hey, our local names came from English speakers who couldn't handle Native names. Worchestershire came from English speakers who couldn't handle...er, English.

Fuck it. I'm just gonna learn Irish and stop speaking English altogether.

Or you could teach me more Hungarian.
