Jury duty is actually awesome (particularly Grand Jury duty). I think that every American should do it, preferably during the first decade of adulthood, because most of us don’t know enough about our justice system. I majored in US History, and there were still moments where it was like “Oh, so that’s how that works.”

I would think that even taking and posting pictures of potential jurors is a big no-no, not to mention that fact that a "famous person" might have a hard time getting on a jury for any number of reasons the attorneys could think of. (It's weird - someone I knew was dismissed during the selection phase because her kids…

Wait, since when have photos / videos been allowed to be taken in jury rooms? I’ve served on a jury before in IL, and camera phones were definitely verboten.

Then there was the group of Japanese teenagers who slid over the edge of the Canyon onto a small ledge, crouched down, and popped up for selfie/snapchats/videos. People are either…

I used to watch him a lot because we didn’t have cable, and this was back when we only had dial-up internet.

youd be wrong about my dad. he was cremated. fraud!

Imma just leave this here for anyone who might think that “psychics” are “real.”

I went to one and she was LEGIT. I know people think they’re full of shit but this one nailed the details for 4 of my friends. Like very specific, random things.

Out here ruining Miss Cleo’s legacy.

[very tangentially unrelated to the article but...] when i was young, like 7-ish, i was walking home with my babysitter from hebrew school and we saw a man jump off the roof (intentionally) and impale himself on a sign pole (presumably unintentionally)... i’ve always felt that killing yourself in that manner is just…

I went into work with a pair of Converse that hadn't been worn much and two or three people asked me if this was my first time wearing them because they looked so clean.
