and there it is

Hehe. This put a smile on my face. It reminded me of Doofy from Scary Movie. Hilarious. Don't bother him when he's vacuuming his car. Speaking of movie references to stuff in the news, here's one that reminded me of Hot Shots! when Deadmeat ejected from his plane, survived but then was hit by the ambulance. That's what I thought the article was going to be about.

Not funny. Except for the end... "such a stiff sentence is unlikely." Really? You don't think that innuendo is bad in this case?

it's funny cuz it's true

While I applaud the idea of "thinking outside of the box" I feel that this is just a little too far out of said box. I'm sorry but I don't believe that Creationism is a science. I am just not firm believer that a scientist shouldn't disregard a theory just because it doesn't jive with the Holy Bible. I do believe that there is plenty of room in science for religion, but just not a whole lot of room in religion for science according to the Creationists.

Speaking of outside the box, I think this lady isn't just outside of the box she fell off the edge. Well, I'm not sure because I think the universe is spherical, or at least as spherical as an M-theory universe can be.

How bad does your life have to be to get help from Baldwin brothers, Stephen and Danny? I mean, seriously and it to be news? Isn't there anything better to report on in celebrity news? Anyone dying of some sort of brain injury? What? Too soon?

While it's related to the whole celebrity brain injury thing, helmets in this case don't save lives. Not in this instance. It doesn't do anything in skydiving either. To quote Jerry Seinfeld, "at that point, the helmet's wearing you..." Which I always found to be funny, not because of the personification of a helmet but it almost doesn't make sense. When we think skydiving accident, I'm sure that most of us think "chute didn't open." However, there's other injuries that occur too in which a helmet would save your life or prevent serious injury. We just can't help but think of the most extreme cases, which makes the joke funny. 

Hahaha. I like the comment at the end. "A small price to pay to say you have a "flying car." Air quotes are required whenever you do." I wonder who's going to be able to afford the "flying car" with the economy the way it is.

One could take from this article that NASA condones killing helpless bats. Sure they did a risk assessment, no harm to the orbiter. I thought they were out there to advance the knowledge of the planet. The whole planet, bats included. How can they continue to believe that when the road is paved over bats? I hope you sleep well tonight NASA. Too much?

playing doctor

Funniest thing this week. Made my day. Of course it adds new meaning to "wanna come over and play doctor?" For better or worse is yet to be determined.

common? sense

Crap. Here's the plot of the next National Treasure movie. Not that I'm opposed to them, just Nicolas Cage's receding hairline.

Not funny, but at least they didn't break the first rule of fight club. OK, it is kinda funny. But I'm thinking of tard strength, which is like the Hulk in most instances. You don't want to get into a fight with one, they have the strength of 10 men!

Another Nationwide commercial?

I'm just a student of criminal justice, but I'd have to say that he's most likely very connected to this case. At a minimum, he helped dispose of the body. Best case scenario, he killed her and then disposed of the body, went off his rocker and killed himself. Yay!

That's absurd. Don't these senators and representatives go to strip clubs themselves? If they don't, what's wrong with enjoying the show without a state imposed cover charge? Up next, the cover charge of fast food restaurants and a little extra to use the drive-thru. Bad government, don't impose taxes on patrons of private companies.

What I want to know about this "God spot" is if I surgically remove it from a believer would they instantly become a nonbeliever? Honestly, I'm just surprised they used the terms believer and nonbeliever in their article. I mean, what defines belief in God? Churchgoers don't necessarily believe in God, at the same time there are people that could be categorized as nonbelievers that do believe in God. As if believing in science precludes the notion of God. Blah, I'd talk for days about this subject.

Of course. Who wouldn't?

spreads like butter

OK, I'm not against assisted suicide, but I have to ask what did the husband have? Did he just want to die with his wife? That's cool, it's about choice I think. What confuses me is the Dignity in Dying charity organization saying that they'd still be alive if they had it in England. Uh, no. They'd still be dead. That's the point of the whole thing right? Unless they mucked it up and then they'd be alive, in a lot of pain but alive. Yeah, sure they could've put it off longer but they sounded motivated.

Environmentally friendly bullets? Really? You don't think that not having bullets would be more environmentally friendly? I'm not saying to stop war or any of that, but I do think that bullets do have a negative impact on the environment due to overhunting of certain species. I'm just saying, I think there'd be less hunting if we had to use a bow and arrow. It's a good idea I think, I spent 3 years purifying lead from water for drinking purposes.

It's stuff like this that pisses me off. Trying to be all PC. Maybe I am being all sexist when I'm saying firemen or mailmen, maybe it's just what I learned as a kid. I know, that's not right. I learned it wrong (or something) but sue me I'm comfortable with it. Do I want to spring for the sign that reads "Men, Women, and Transgender at Work?" No. The point isn't to identify what kind of people working on the side of the road, it's to POINT OUT THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE WORKING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I'd be fine with a "People at Work" sign as a compromise but not just to be inclusive of everyone. Besides, an 80's band called "People at Work" probably wouldn't have done as well.

I would've called her bluff. I bet you she would've found someone to take care of the kids really quick when you started issuing combat boots to them. Sure it would've been a public relations nightmare, but I think it would've gotten the point across to people. Now you've set a precedence. Husband travels for work? Not as much while she's deployed. If not, we would use a couple extra sets of eyes on convoy duty. Huh, look how a caretaker magically appears.

If I ever commit a crime I'm doing it in Canada. No, seriously. I mean, what's the deterrence there? Kill your kids? 3 years. Criminal negligence? One count? Um, there's at least two counts there, one for each kid. Oh, is counting different in Canada? And screw the Yellow Quill First Nation! Let's assume that their statement is true, that the deaths were an accident. Fine. Who was responsible for them? They were 1 and 3, not capable of making decisions like this on their own. He was responsible, thus negligence. What what what? He was drunk? That's not a get-out-of-jail-free card, in fact that should be an aggravating circumstance. On another note, by the time he's released from prison (if he serves his full sentence) the kid will be old enough for him to leave out in a blizzard. 

I can see their point, I mean locking him up to keep him from stealing their food. But from a criminal justice side I have to say: 40's is elderly? Couldn't they find something better to charge them with? Like criminal confinement, cuz I think she won't be found guilty of injury of an elderly person.

I guess there really isn't a statute of limitation on homicide. Chances are the person they're looking for is in prison already.

yes indeed

I'm not saying it's right or wrong. That's for the courts to decide. But anyone that's cutting people's heads off on a bus has to be mentally ill. That's not normal behavior, it's also not good at the dinner table. OK, maybe I'm being dramatic. It was only one person's head that was cut off. Oh, he's going to evaluated to see if he's a risk to himself or society? Um, let's see. He cut someone's head off, so I'm gonna to have to say that he could be a threat to society.

I don't know why I find this funny. I'm just trying to imagine how he managed to bodyslam him. In my mind there's walkers involved, clanking together. I'm impressed that he did it though, go on old man. Seriously though, they think that previous history is relevant in a Alzheimer's case? Although it should be noted that violence isn't a solution to a problem.

Extreme. Violence doesn't solve problems. I can see how she's plead not guilty to a count of aggravated assault, because it'd be hard to link being depressed about not being pregnant to biting someone's tongue off. Counterpoint: bitches are crazy. I guess he won't be slipping anyone the tongue ever again.
