Poor young dink killed by falling tree she didn't hear since she had headphones on
Falling branch kills newcomer to city out jogging | Philadelphia Inquirer | 08/06/2009
"...Police say she was listening to an iPod while jogging and may not have heard the 30-foot-long branch crack and fall from a tulip tree, also known as a tulip poplar..."
As for myself, I don't own anything portable that I could listen to out of the house...well, technically I do own four ipods and various other portable gadgets but my kids are always using them. So add two more up-and-coming dinks to our count since they contantly have their buds on...today we'll try transferring my big one's musc downloads to his Blackberry since his ipod seems to be on the fritz and the Apple store can't diagnose it until tomorrow (pretty sure it's totally busted...again)
