I'm going to have to take this one with a grain of (sea) salt. Because the A game level crazy this couple brings to every single thing, I think that would have been the FIRST thing they would have done, not the "wait til our fame card is way maxed out then spring!" last one.

welp, that ought to be enough facepalm to last the next 30 years (and yeah she'll still be around, she's full of more preservatives than a Twinkie landfill)

Been to a Carl's Jr once. Worst piece of meat ever between two pieces of alleged bread. That was like 10 years ago, have never been back.

unless of course you are allergic to it. Which I wasn't until surprise, suddenly after 40 years of ignorant bliss, I was. Pizza was top on my allergist's list of things not to even try to eat, even over Chinese food.

doing some research on the Opium wars and the development of Indian tea for a project, and I have a feeling the info in this paper will come in handy. Thanks for the link!

my favorite one from my information desk days: two older but not old ladies in the middle of this big casino; they reach my desk and ask where the restrooms are. I point out the direction to them and tell them which slot machines are between us and it for landmarks and the fact that you can just barely see the sign…

embarrassed to say, I learned about Hatshepsut because of the TV show "Mighty Isis" :-D

or better yet, steals the idea entirely for a "ripped from the headlines" episode of Law & Order?

Chai don't think so, Buckster.

apparently Alison's rebuttal has been flagged for removal. Any screencap you can post?

(for those playing at home: Kineada's icon is a troll doll.)

I just know that the real Black Widow would slap the willful naivete right off Johansson, with a heaping helping of "are you even listening to what you're saying" and "the hell is wrong with you?"

yep, thanks for the spoiler in this case, no way am I clicking the play button. No way nohow.

whoops, can't edit, did not see it was Westjet domestic (I've flown Westjet from the US so it didn't click). So for "Amtrak" substitute "Rail Canada" or even better just "a train" thanks.

I just did a three leg, 12 hour (including layovers and delays) trip across the US and the one female pilot we had was the only one who didn't bounce the damn plane on landing. If I wasn't in the middle of a line trying to push me out the door I'd have stopped and shaken her hand.

I'm reminded of my favorite line from Major League for some reason:

as demonstrated by the movie Airplane!

you're missing my point. I'm not saying that it's bad that there's a site profiting off her picture. I'm saying she doesn't own the picture: the PHOTOGRAPHER does. I'm also not saying it doesn't suck she doesn't have control of her own mugshot. But again, the photographer (the police) did that. A case against the…

This may be informative to people. Photographers own their photographs, not the subject. There are occasional privacy issues but most of those are trumped by First Amendment journalism rights. Of course it's different in other countries but this particular case is in Florida.

intellectual property what? Photos belong to the photographer. Normally the photographer would get a release signed to use it, but when you're getting your photo taken for FREE in the jail, yeah, you don't own jack of it.
