The organisers of the Boston Marathon are confident next years race will be remembered for the right reasons.........Yeah, probably be in the Guinness Book of Recors for the most people running 26 miles along the centre white line

Saying that this years event was also a first when people started out running the race switched mid race to the wheelchair event. They ran out of medals in that category.

One such competitor Tom from Arkansas said "It was a real blast in the end" He clocked a time of 3*55 when his left foot crossed the line. He finished third in the wheelchair category when crossing the line ten minutes later himself.

Shopkeepers said trade was very quiet despite the significant footfall

Two Americans go into a supermarket today. The first one goes to the gun section and happily buys a machine gun for his 15 year old son. He drives home. The other guy goes to the kitchenware section and sees pressure cookers on offer and decides to cash in and buy two.... as you do. He leaves the shop to be surrounded by Homeland Security. ..............He's being buried Monday
