Sigh. These people never cease to amazing me.

Sam was found alone and gasping for breath by two fellow pupils after his class tutor, Janet Ford, sent him to sit outside the classroom.

When one of the children told Miss Ford, 46, what she had seen, the teacher told the child to "go away" because she was "in a meeting", adding: "I know Sam's there. He will have to wait."

The boy was not taken to hospital until his mother Karen arrived at the end of the day, having been told her son was ill. He died shortly afterwards.

His doctor later said he could have been saved if he had been taken to hospital immediately.

At an inquest last night, a jury found that Sam "died of natural causes, significantly contributed to by neglect, both individually and on a systemic level".

Speaking outside the court today, the family's lawyer Jonathan Betts condemned the "complete absence of common sense" that led to Sam's death.

"The fact that no one called an ambulance is astounding and deeply troubling ... When you send your child to school you believe they will be looked after and cared for," he said.

Mrs Linton said was angry with Offerton High School in Stockport, Greater Manchester over the death, which occurred in December 2007.

"Samuel was a wonderful son and his loss has been devastating. The inquest highlighted what happened at school that day and the thought that his death may have been prevented is too much to bear," she added.

Miss Ford denied the pupils' allegations and refuted claims she left Sam alone. But she admitted being "vague" about the policy on asthma attacks and added: "I think I was in after school mode. In hindsight I would have done things differently."

The coroner, John Pollard, said Miss Ford was "unconvincing" in response to his questions.

The hearing highlighted a lack of training at the school, particularly among teaching staff, of the nature of asthma and what staff are required to do to protect pupils in their care who are having an asthma attack.

The jury agreed that there had been a failure on the part of Offerton School to put in place an adequate asthma policy which "caused or significantly contributed to" Sam's death.

The foreman said: "Samuel Linton died of an acute severe asthma attack which could have been prevented if prompt emergency treatment had been sought."

A spokesman for Stockport Council said last night no disciplinary measures had so far been taken against any school staff, but added: "The school and the local authority will continue to take steps to address issues identified from Samuel's death.

"We are now considering the inquest verdict and the recommendations of the coroner as a matter of urgency, and will take all necessary actions identified and needed."

I'm not sure what's more shameful. Walmart employees who can't add or Walmart customers who bought one of these items. Both groups of people are welcome to the Shamebox.

If you keep up with tech news or have a lot of gullible friends on GTalk, you probably have heard about or witnessed in person the GTalk worm.

As reported by numerous sources, including Valleywag, even the New York Times tech column, the worm spreads itself by sending a tinyurl link to everyone on your GTalk buddy list. The link directs potential victims to "ViddyHo.com" where the user is asked to input his or her Google credentials. If the he or she complies, the worm uses the acquired credentials to spread the link to everyone on the victim's buddy list.

What's pathetic about this attack is, the person behind ViddyHo.com forgot to remove his direct contact information from the site's WHOIS information.

Hoan Ton That, way it fuck it up big time. Next time, why not just stand in the middle of the street holding up a banner that screams "ARREST ME!"

question: I've had anal sex for the first time and think I'm pregnant but my mom does not know this and she'a making me take a laxative, can it harm my unborn child?

answer1: A male reader, anonymous, writes (19 January 2009):

You should not take the laxative. Anal sex can lead to pregnancy; this is why the religious people are in an uproar over anal sex and gay parenting. Incidentally, there is a very high probability that a baby conceived as a result of anal sex will grow up to be gay.

Your Concerned Internet Friend,

answer2: It would also be extremely unlikely for a girl to get pregnant from loose semen around the vagina. To reach the egg it has to be injected up into the uterus, "balls deep" as they say. If you feel like you have a baby in your colon, maybe you need to cut back on the fiber or take some ex-lax.

answer4: A female reader, Laura1318 +, writes (8 June 2008):

You cannot get pregnant from anal sex if you are wearing a condom.

There is a risk of getting pregnant if no condom is used as there could be leakage as the penis may hit the wrong target or he ejaculates on your outside or when you washed up and some sperms get to swim or swept towards your vagina.

The risk is very low but not impossible.

this is a joke right? if its not i cant believe the bullshit these people are pushing. a lot of elementary school students are smarter than this fucking idiot. haha i cant believe that hes using foot prints and hand prints to prove Noah's flood "it was beginning to rain for the first time in history at the start of the flood, this person got scared and was running for higher ground somehow slipped and fell and left that print in the mud." do you realize how fucking crazy that sounds.

john pendleton thrown in the shamebox.

Sam Denison believes this man could be the key to discovering who burglarized his home. Denison's phone was stolen when his home was burglarized in October. Denison found the photos of this man when he logged into his Sprint account online to look at photos from his new phone. The photos were taken with the stolen phone.
