Gatineau police say a passerby spotted the boy, who was wearing only shorts and a t-shirt, around 1:30 a.m.at a bus stop. The passerby then called 911.

It’s a drink that has been shared among Greek gods, Vikings, mythical dwarves and magical wizards.
Made using honey, water and yeast, the origins of mead have been traced back nearly 10,000 years, predating wine and beer. Its popularity has ebbed and flowed through time and throughout the world, popping up in places like ancient Greece, northern China and Ethiopia.
Now, Canadians are buzzing about mead — one of the world’s oldest alcoholic beverages. The so-called nectar of the gods has made a resurgence in Canada over the past decade, with meaderies multiplying across the country.
Vicky Rowe, owner of the U.S.-based Internet mead hub Gotmead.com, said she counted about four meaderies in Canada in the mid-2000s. That number has since grown to more than 30 meaderies from coast-to-coast.
“We started seeing more and more Canadian meaderies cropping up. I mean, just all over the place, like they were growing on trees,” said Rowe, who’s operated her website for about 20 years.

The parents of a three-year-old boy are relieved after
they were reunited with their son early Saturday morning, a couple hours
after the boy managed to escape his home.

We’re all going to die (hopefully not too soon). And
that means that someday, everyone currently on Facebook will be six feet
under (metaphorically speaking).
The blog What If? recently attempted to determine when (in ballpark figures) the number of dead people on Facebook will outnumber those who are alive.
It’s a morbidly fascinating question, and the unidentified blogger behind What If? is more than up to the challenge.
The conclusion: Depending on whether Facebook stays popular, the answer is either in the 2060s or the 2130s.
The blogger writes, “Based on the site’s growth rate, and the age breakdown of their users over time,there are probably 10 to 20 million people who created Facebook profiles who have since died.”
Looking down the road, the blogger writes, “About 290,000 US Facebook users will die (or have died) in 2013. The worldwide total for 2013 is likely several million. In just seven years, this death rate will double, and in seven more years it will double again.”
The question, the blogger argues, is whether or not Facebook will continue to add more young users “to outrun this tide of death for a while.”
If the social network can get young people to keep joining, the blogger estimates that the dead won’t outnumber the living on Facebook until around 2130.

This reminds me of an old story from the Middle East.
A man and his servant went from Damascus to a market
in Aleppo, when the servant turns around and sees ‘Death’ looking at him
and pointing.
The servant is afraid and says to his Master, “I saw ‘Death’ pointing at me, so please give me your horse that I might flee back home and escape him!”
The servant then rides away and a short time later the Master runs into ‘Death,’ and says to him, “My servant says you pointed to him not half an hour ago?”
‘Death’ says: “I was only surprised to see him here in Aleppo, when I have an appointment with him later today in Damascus!”
