Good for you: Corncob Analytics

By Kathryn Kingen

Just when you think you know all there is about a cob, you find out it knows a kernel more about you! In fact eating good old corn on the cob can be one of the most self-revealing things you ever do. Forget the Freudian theories, just serve up a pile of corn and watch how everyone goes at it. Eating attack styles will tell you more than you ever wanted to know about personalities. It's all in the technique.

Shooting at SeaTac motel leaves one dead one injured

Information from King County Sheriff

King County Sheriff’s detectives are investigating a fatal shooting that occurred Wednesday night around 10:00 at the Motel 6 in the 18900 block of 47 Ave S.

Deputies initially responded to a 911 call at the motel where a man said he was shot in the back as he got out of the shower.

When deputies arrived they found a man in the parking lot dead from an apparent gunshot. Deputies were also contacted by the man who had been shot while getting out of the shower.

The deceased victim was in town with two co-workers working on a construction project and all three were staying in the motel while the job was in progress. The co-workers told police the victim was arguing with the suspect in the parking lot. During the argument the suspect pulled a gun and fired at least two shots striking the victim in the chest. A stray bullet went into an occupied room and struck the other man in the back.
