    They said no. And they told me to tell you to stop giving their number out.

    On September 12, 2008, a Metrolink commuter train collided head-on with a Union Pacific freight train in the Chatsworth area of Los Angeles. The engineer of the Metrolink train was considered at fault, because it looked like he was sending a text message at the time of the crash. The crash was the worst in the history of the Metrolink—25 died, and another 135 people were injured.

    One of the people who lost their lives was 49-year-old Charles Peck, who was in Los Angeles for a job interview with the Van Nuys Airport. Peck wanted to move to California, because his fiance lived there. He was apparently killed almost instantly, because he was close to the spot of the impact and was one of the last people to be pulled out of the wreckage.

    What is really mysterious is that, throughout the night and up until his body was discovered, Peck’s phone called a number of people, including his sons, his fiance, and his brother. All the calls were a few seconds of silence before hanging up. While nobody’s sure how the calls were made, there are some people who believe it was Peck’s spirit calling his loved ones to say goodbye.

    8The Disappearance Of Dale Williams
    please log in to view this image


    Dale Williams, 42, owned a body shop in Nucla, Colorado. On May 27, 1999, a stranded motorist called for help. Williams’s friend, who was at the shop, thought that the caller was female from the way Williams was talking. Williams seemed to be in a normal mood when he left, but the weird thing was that Williams wasn’t a mechanic, so he didn’t usually go out on many calls. Yet, he left in the company truck, and that was the last confirmed sighting of him. Five weeks later, the truck was found where the San Miguel River and the Dolores River meet. The truck was in gear, and the ignition was on. Also, the window was half-open, which his wife thought was strange, because he always drove with the window all the way down.

    One suspect was a former friend of Williams’s. Williams and his wife had helped the former friend’s wife move, and they refused to tell him where they had moved her. Evidence that pointed to this former friend included torn-up pictures of Williams and the former friend’s family. They also found .22 caliber bullets around the shop. Williams’s wife ran a video store, and someone had dropped off a .22 caliber gun in the video return box after Williams had gone missing. Both the pictures and the gun had come from Williams’s shop. The police interviewed the former friend, but he denied any involvement. Williams has never been found, and no one has ever been arrested in connection with the crime. The identity of the caller also remains a mystery.

    From what I gather it was slang that started from the hippies that literally means a 'draw' on a joint. People then started using it in sentences such as 'can you get me some draw?' - Basically lazy stoned people spoke in very lazy terms, and it stuck.

    Good question though.

    If you mean draw as in: win, lose or draw - It comes from 'withdrawn contest'. When combatants / competitors / armies could continue indefinately without either coming out on top there would be a mutual agreement to withdraw.

    You can scrap ovens and washing machines but refrigerators have gas canisters in so harder to dispose of.
