Doesn't Escobar mean "integrity" in Spanish? Sign me up!

Something tells me you will never have to worry about someone ripping off the Dietbitcoin.
Escoba means "broom" in Spanish... so you could interpret Escobar as a pile, or group, of brooms.

It means that Mr Roberto is ready to sweep your money clean...

To be fair, escoba is also the name of a type of plant used in traditional medicine.... but I doubt this guy's purpose is to cure anyone

SUTHERLIN, Ore. (AP) — Police say a 37-year-old man was far from lovin' it when workers at a McDonald's restaurant in Oregon refused to make him 30 double cheeseburgers and tried to destroy the golden arches.
...
The Sutherlin Police Department says he also grabbed a person's shirt and that a witness afraid for that person's life pulled out a gun.

The effects of second hand pot smoke I'm sure.

There is weird and there is just plain crazy.

INDIANAPOLIS -- In a state where drug overdoses continue to rise, people are finding new ways to get high and emergency crews are warning about one of the latest dangerous trends: bug spray.

Firefighters in Indianapolis are responding to several calls every day because of the toxic concoction known as KD.

To create the high, people are using "heavy duty" bug sprays like RAID and Wasp which have high concentrations of Pyrethroids. They are spraying them on other drugs like marijuana, spice and tobacco before smoking them.

Ahhh. Now I know why I feel so good in the summertime in Florida.
First it was Bath Salts cannibals and now it's Wasp spray Zombies.

The wasp poison is sprayed on a wire mesh, then heated by a battery charger. This crystalizes the spray which is then melted down and injected intravenously.

Sheriff Cantrell explained further.

“A person will stand at a jail cell door, slobber like a mad dog, wanting to fight. Everything is wrong, Nothing is right for one minute, then calm down and be just like a normal human being and then go right back into a rage.”

Yes they do. It's a world standard, as a matter of fact. But if the leak happened after they went to sleep, that would explain their not detecting it... what a sad, horrible tragedy... I hold the hotel's management entirely responsible for this awful event...

on the other hand:

officials hope to identify the gas within eight to 10 days
it's possible that it wasn't natural gas... it could've been carbon monoxide, which is odorless, for all we know.

I would go with Carbon Monoxide, working in the Heating and Air business it was our job to inspect the flame to see how clean it was burning. A poorly vented Water Heater e.g. stack height coupled with an inversion could allow the gas to burn improperly and at the same time leak into the rooms because of back pressure, eventually it could make you succumb and pass out. Which is another surprise that room service didn't discover them the next day.

I don't remember was this a Villa or a Hotel room?
