It was only 2 foot long. It wouldn't hurt that much ;)

Yeah, but it would sure piss you off if it landed near you during your back swing.

I like the explanation: we think a bird dropped it

SI

It does seem odd, but I am familiar with that area and even that course a little, and it's just nowhere near the ocean. You have to drive significant minutes to get to the ocean from there.

So how pissed do you think that bird was? I mean, it nabbed the shark from the ocean four miles away and maybe even further out, and is taking its unusual prey back to its nest somewhere in the hills to the east of San Juan Cap when somehow the shark shakes free.

I liken it to getting fast food, having to hit your brakes hard and watching the fries tumble out of the bag and all over the passenger seat and floorboard.

"Aw crap, I just dropped my coffee from that across town place I don't go to very often. I'm still not drinking it off the ground."

Police: Pastor of Fort Worth-area church killed

A pastor in suburban Fort Worth was killed Monday by an attacker who rammed a car into a church wall, chased the pastor and beat him with an electric guitar, police said.

And then the attacker died after being tased and put in the back of a squad car. This story is all kinds of f'd up. It is Texas, so the guy was going to get the needle anyway though so who cares.

Sounds like a fun Saturday night to me...

Syracuse-Area Brothers Charged in Plot to Steal $5 Million Lottery Payout - NYTimes.com

A lot of weird stories coming out of Syracuse lately. It's kind of the Florida of the northeast in that way. On one of my first days of college there I saw a sign in a park expressly proclaiming that lewd behavior was not permitted in the park. I knew then it was going to be a great 4 years.

Mark Suben, Cortland County District Attorney, Admits He Acted In Porn Films

Hardly ever a dull day here in the Classic City. Not even on a Monday afternoon downtown. ERROR: The requested URL could not be retrieved

A 44-year-old Athens man is facing criminal charges after he created a scene with a Taser on Monday at a bar downtown.

Meredith Grayson Watson, of Hiawassee Avenue, got into an argument with his wife at the Roadhouse on North Lumpkin Street, then went outside and held a Taser as if it were his penis and discharged it at passersby, Athens-Clarke police said.

A bartender called police at about 2:30 p.m. to report the man’s behavior.

She told officers that Watson’s wife was a good customer at the Roadhouse, but Monday was the first time she ever saw Watson, police said. They were arguing about him being intoxicated as they entered the bar.

The bartender overheard the couple arguing about Watson supposedly being high and that he was going to end up in jail, according to police.

The man’s wife left the bar and Watson went after her, but he quickly returned and resumed drinking, setting a Taser on the bar, police said.

Watson then began to use the device.

“(The bartender) stated he went outside and put the Taser down to his pants and was acting like it was his penis,” according to the arrest report.

“When people would walk by he would shock it at them and would come as close as arm’s reach from them and set the Taser off,” according to the report. “He scared a few girls so much they crossed the street to get away.”

The report did not mention anyone actually getting shocked by the Taser.

Watson was jailed on charges of public intoxication and disorderly conduct at 6:04 p.m. and released about four hours later after posting a bond of $1,000.

Casey Anthony detectives overlooked Google search

Great job by the prosecution. I would think this should have jumped off the page. Someone searching foolproof ways to suffocate someone from Casey's computer and then signing into Casey's myspace account on the same day that the daughter goes missing and then turns up dead from suffocation.

Not anymore apparently:

"Many Russians consider beer a soft drink - a light refreshment that can be guzzled on the way to work or downed in great quantities before a picnic and a swim in the river."

That sounds like it's a pretty big change, it won't be available everywhere like soda here, but it will be subject to time and place rules. I guess they'll just have to carry some booze in the coats. Or, carry more booze in their coats that usual.

Seems an odd case. It's more about trying to keep the language with a set of standards than anything.



Sure you can boil it down to "People should be able to name their kids whatever they want" but it's not that simple if we think a little harder about it.

We build certain institutions around assumptions we make. As stated above, basically because of the oddball spelling, everyone she runs across assumes she's a boy because it's a boy's spelling and that causes a whole other world of odd headaches for her.

Just to use a simple example, when people are double checking their work (i.e. at the DMV, for instance), they trust that the article and name matches up. I bet that unlike here, they have a near 0 instance of wrong gender on the driver's license. It's a silly thing but if you decide to change something for no reason or "self expression" or whatnot, there are actually some consequences that aren't thought about.

A light refreshment that can be guzzled on the way to work? :lol:

I think I tried that once..
