Dove? Nah. Ducks are about the only bird I'd want to shoot.

Lol, FiOS techs have been on hold for at least 30 minutes now.  I guess they don't get any preference by Verizon.  That's not a good sign.

Time Warner cable guy sat on hold for 30 minutes in my apartment as well.

I think if Jupiter exactly took the Moon's place, the gravity would pull us into it and we'd all die.

But that's what it would look like while the gravity was pulling us in and right before we died.

Maybe Jupiter would lose a lot of density and actually be lighter than the earth.  :hmm:
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

We'd be slightly closer than Io, so I think we'd just be turned into a molten hellhole devoid of all life.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

These BARBRI outlines are some of the most heinously edited things I've ever seen.  "A permanent injunction enjoying the enforcement"?  Are you fucking kidding me?

The facebook page of Washington Post gets spammed with identical commentaries to every post:

QuoteI am an Egyptian citizen...
I accuse the Obama administration for supporting an international terrorist group known as "Muslim Brotherhood" to rule Egypt and helping them to kill the Egyptian people and occupy the land of Egypt using lethal weapons and defrauding elections.

No to the rule of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt

It was light years from anywhere, the bars were seedy and the men were even more so; Deep Space 9 truly was the intergalactic New Jersey.

Police picked up a 33 year old Pole in a small shopping mall. An employee had noticed that the guy was moving around aimlessly and had blood on his face and his clothes. The guy said he was fine and that he was waiting for the bus. Police brought him to a hospital where the doctors found that his penis and balls had been cut off cleanly.

Police found the "missing bits", plus razor blades in a public toilet next to the mall. At this time it's not clear whether the Pole was the victim of a crime or inflicted the damage himself. The guy claims he doesn't remember anything.


It's been a while since we had a weird crime case in Vienna.
