Uh, I would like to think that if I go under the knife, my surgeon doesn’t need to be bribed into making sure I survive the operation. Obviously, the team of idiots who designed this scheme have never worked in a hospital.

Picking Criminals’ Brains For Evidence
This whole brain electrical oscilation signature thing makes me a wee bit, well no, a whole lot, nervous. They’re using it in India to convict people of murders and they *say* that it reveals whether or not you actually experienced something versus whether or not you just read about it. I just feel like there’s …
A Great Day For Broadcasting And Logic
‘Wardrobe malfunction’ fine dismissed for CBS The three-judge panel of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Federal Communications Commission “acted arbitrarily and capriciously” in issuing the fine for the fleeting image of nudity. The court found that the FCC deviated from its nearly 30-year practice of fining indecent broadcast programming only …
How Did He Walk Home?
Man Loses Prosthetic Leg While Skydiving A skydiver in upstate New York is hoping someone will find his lost leg. Scott Listemann was skydiving above Gardiner, N.Y., June 14 when his prosthetic leg came off. He has printed up posters to distribute around Gardiner, asking anyone who finds his leg to call him. But now, …
What A Nutcase!
What the hell is Robyn Lee’s issue? Why the hell would Shenna Ferguson be hanging around with her? People usually don’t go from nice neighbour/friend to completely deranged lunatic in a millisecond. At least I hope they don’t, or I’ll have to be on high alert for the rest of my life! Threatening someone who …
What? I Thought You Liked That!
The image of Chinese people grabbing American men’s hands and saying “Hey man, what’s up?” is a funny one. But that’s what people are trying to train the folks to do in Beijing. Why not let folks learn how it’s done in *your* culture? No, that would be too easy.
Blessed Be
Hmmm. I think Katherine Gunther is all out of good luck. I mean, you can’t have any good luck left if you go to plunge a sword into the ground as part of a wiccan ceremony designed to give thanks for good luck, miss the ground and hit your foot. Miss the ground? How in …
Mmm…Dead Skin
I don’t know about you, but for me, dunking my feet in a tank full of toothless carp so they can nibble off my dead skin does not sound like a cool way to be pampered. Maybe my feet would look nice after, but I don’t know how the rest of me would feel.
They Do Say The Guilty Always Sleep, But Isn’t That Supposed To Be After They Get Caught?
When I first saw this story, I didn’t care about it, but upon closer inspection, I can’t stop laughing. I laughed so hard that Steve wondered what was so goddamn funny. Well, what do you think of the image of a couple of drunken fools breaking into a store, stealing a bunch of patio furniture, …
DNA: Do Not Assume
Here’s a creepy thought. Next time a DNA match is used and the odds are something crazy like 1 in 150 billion or 1 in 3 trillion, don’t be so sure of those odds. What really sucks is the FBI doesn’t want to get to the bottom of this, in the hopes that we can …
