Thu, 26/02/2009 - 07:27 by Rakhi Kaptiyal

Seattle -- A Seattle man claims in his suit against transit authorities that a toilet he was inspecting exploded as a result of work being performed on a light rail line.

Edmond Okolie said in his King County Superior Court suit that a toilet at an adult care facility exploded in November 2006 while he was inspecting it, knocking him to the ground and covering him in raw sewage, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported Wednesday.

The lawsuit claims the toilet explosion was caused by work being performed nearby on Sound Transit light rail line planned to connect Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and downtown Seattle. It claims the workers must have cut or blocked a sewer line, causing the line to pressurize and explode.

The suit is seeking unspecified compensation. Sound Transit has not yet filed a response.

St. Paul, Minn. -- A Minnesota woman said she has dropped a lawsuit against her ex-husband that alleged another woman was using voodoo to break up their marriage.

Mary Nabila Muma, a St. Paul resident who immigrated with her ex-husband, Marcellus Muma, from Cameroon, wrote a letter to U.S. Magistrate Judge Franklin Noel saying she was withdrawing her suit after going on a private retreat, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported Tuesday.

Muma wrote that praying while on the retreat helped her to forgive her ex-husband and she was further convinced to drop the case after she lost control of a rental car on a busy freeway.

"The police officers and all the people who saw the car and the scene of the accident instantly said that was divine intervention," she wrote in the Jan. 20 letter. "I feel that God wants me to withdraw the case and hand Marcellus over to him."
