Haha, they released tips to help people avoid driving into post offices. Awesome. They coulda done something like... "If you see this in front of you..."  "...do not drive forward."

The simpler solution is more strident testing of aging drivers. They have an easier time getting licenses than teenagers.

This is going on right now in downtown Pittsburgh
Man claiming to have a bomb and a gun takes hostage in Gateway Center suite - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette That alone isn't such a strange story. However, a guy I worked with found out he's got 3 mutual Facebook friends with the guy...and that he's updating statuses during the standoff!

You would think that would work and would be as simple as that. I never knew that having to park or drive by a post office in Florida caused so much confusion. I mean, is there big neon blinking signs that say "DRIVE THRU" that are too close to the entrances to post offices there?

Mind-reading tail lets you wag when you're happy, just like a dog - latimes.com Meet Shippo, the furry clip-on tail that wags when you're happy or excited and droops in a neutral position when you're calm and meditative. Shippo was created by Neurowear, a company that uses the same technology doctors use to detect seizures and measure brain activity to make products that are more fun and frivilous and play with different ways of expressing our emotions and moods. |

They have cat ears that respond to your emotional state as well.
I heard it was hilarious to watch the ears' reactions when people walked into the eroge and hentai section of booths during one of the cons.

Love it: "It is unclear whether the reference to two cushions meant that the couch was, in fact, a love seat."

Haha. I like how this was covered in a facetious legal Q&A blog I go to sometimes: 1) Question: The U.S. Postal Service Office down in Central Florida just issued a press release urging me and my Florida neighbors to not drive our cars through post office buildings. Huh? They have drive-through post offices now, but they don't want us to use them? Answer: No, the Postal Service wants you to literally not drive through their buildings. As in, do not crash through the brick, mortar and glass structures that house the Post Offices in Central Florida, as eight other vehicles have already done this year. (U.S.P.S.

Kentucky restaurant shut down after roadkill found in kitchen | The Sideshow - Yahoo! News
Ok, I'll give you a little slack depending on how long you have been here in this country and not knowing if it is ok. However, dragging a dead deer carcass that you found along the road has GOT to make you think (no matter what country you're from) that maybe, just maybe, that's something you don't want your patrons to see while they are eating.

They may have been calculating the exact amount he had actually "lost it."
Variables such as continuing to wear socks and the amound of genitalia exposed below his drooping belly (aka the "Peter Griffin" effect) can make the equasions difficult, particularly during an ongoing event. The $1 removed from the walled acted as a turning point, showing once and for all that the it had been lost. |

Best part of this story isn't the headline ([i]California won't extradite armed robbery suspect), it's in the details. Long story short: suspect calls sister to pick up her kids after arrest, cops won't let sister have them because she didn't have enough car seats. Couple of hours later, security calls the cops ... the sister had stolen a car seat from a car in the same Kohl's parking lot where her shoplifting sister was arrested. She was arrested for illegally entering a vehicle when she showed up at the S.O. to get her sister's kids.

In a new study, scientists at the University of Newcastle tested 74 different sounds to determine which ones humans find most unpleasant. According to the study the most annoying noise is...the sound of a sharp knife on a glass bottle.
What I find MOST interesting about this is that scientists at the University of Newcastle tested 74 different sounds. Shouldn't they be out "scientificating" something else ? |

I've stayed at the Flamingo in Vegas and have seen the random exotic birds in the wildlife habitat there....it never crossed my mind to jump in and decapitate one for kicks. It did for two Cal-Berkley law students though.
Fowl play: Police arrest Cal law students in killing of exotic bird at Flamingo habitat - Las Vegas Sun News I hope the felonies stick and the prosecutors don't plead them down (which they may because these guys probably don't have priors are are "upstanding members of the community"), but either way, at least their legal careers are over before they got started.

They said it was 9:30 in the morning so I am now doubting my initial thought that "lots of alcohol was involved". They may just be assholes

9:30 AM might have still be late night for them there, I'd bet they were under the influence of booze and maybe more. It's like with Mel Gibson though, if THAT'S the place you go when you're really boozed up (anti-Semitic rants, decapitating birds), it ain't just the booze. You have a dark place that booze just helps you find. |
