Porn was a window into tolerance. :)

Julian Assange spearheads funding drive for life-size statue of himself:
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/julian-assange-spearheads-funding-drive-for-lifesize-statue-of-himself-9916496.html

I dislike Assange as much as anyone else here, but he didn't "spearhead" anything.

An italian artist started this drive for some ill-begotten "monument to courage" by having statues of Assange, Snowden and Manning".  Assange's involvement is to use the Wikileaks twitter account to retweet a link to the artists kickstarter fund.

Hey man, it's all about light and contrast.  I can dig it.

My wife and I are of the same race.  Except for small % of Irish she is.

Just ordered a pizza. Came to $16.
but there's a delivery charge of      $3.50
And a tax of $2.50

Bringint total to $22.

Should I tip on that $22.
On the $19.50 (pizza + delivery)
Or just on the $16.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Its delivery and $22 is a square number. No need to tip. :bowler:

Christ, Josq, I hope you fall into a river of chocolate.

Sadly, I think you have to tip on the $22.  The delivery fee does not customarily go to the driver.  It's fucking bullshit and if I worked for any pizza place that instituted one, I would quit on the spot.  It's essentially extra gross for the house, taken directly out of your pocket.
