Anthony Todt is one of the creepiest and most self-centered guys I've ever had the misfortune of watching on video. Check out YouTube for a peek.

Everyone has a not-literal "pit" in their stomach; it represents the deepest part. In some cases, you get a bad feeling IN the pit. Saying that you've "got a pit in your stomach" is not equal to having a bad feeling.

I agree with the person who called in about the Denise Amber Lee case, it is such a sad case. The 911 operator who did not follow regulations in passing the info of the witness call basically helped kill her. Had she actually passed on the information properly as her job required, she could have saved Denise's life, since later on several police officers admitted that they had seen the car the lady had called in about but didn't stop it because no one had passed the info on. Basically, that 911 operator should only be allowed to work at a McDonald's, where getting an order wrong only causes a tummy ache at worst. I was horrified to hear she wasn't even reprimanded, and removed herself from that position but not from working in that field. Sorry, that's an important job and someone incapable of doing it should not be be allowed to continue. The officials of that county screwed up and then never accepted responsibility.

Frazier is a POS wife killer who should rot in jail. The police didn't have to mess this up... the proof that Frazier is a killer is simple: no woman trying to get a divorce would walk away from a $250,000 settlement.

I'm concerned about how little research these medical personnel had in resuscitation? Seizures are a common response to slow brain cell death. on the other hand, Dr. Turner had no business not contacting the parents right away.

There is a kind of lizard that, if her nesting area is surrounded by too many predators, decides it's easier to eat her own clutch of eggs than try to protect them. That lizard mom thinks Edith has zero parenting skills.

something is up with the audio, the commercials come out of both headphones but the show is not so I know it's not to do with my headphones. There's also this period of long silence at the beginning and then some kind of weird static for a second?
