I am honestly amazed that there aren’t more accidents involving the paparazzi. Given the lengths they go to get compromising pictures, I’m surprised there isn’t an incident a week. They’re dangerous not just for the celebrities but for the random people who happen to be around.

It’d be amazing. It would be the plot of Jaws, but, in place of the scene where they argue how to kill it, there’d be a scene where people debate whether or not it’s worth the effort.

Hey now, I watched the Shining towards the end of my 7 month stay in a hotel and found it incredibly cathartic.

My mother is a medical examiner. She has been a medical examiner for 25 years. She still has to prove herself to the old boys network of cops, prosecutors, defense attorneys, and other medical examiners.

My dad, holder of an MBA and degrees in zoology and engineering, wants to work at Home Depot when he retires. He likes the idea of helping people with their home improvement projects on the weekend. Moral of the story: Never assume :)

I don’t know, but it sounds like they need to be on multiple no-fly lists after this debacle.

I can see it. A lot of truly horrific people are superficially charming. Look at Ted Bundy.

Aethelred,Tostig, Ealdgyth. Anglo-Saxon names used to be so cool. Then the Conquest happened.

Come on, Catherine, we all know the time is ripe to bring back Aelfgifu.

Related: I had a guy come up to me while I was sitting on a bench grabbing a quick bite in between museums (art historian. I try to hit multiple museums when I get a free day to keep up on new shows. I digress).

The looks I gave every time some asked me at the candle store if we sold candles....I want to shake people who do this and yell "YOU ARE NEITHER FUNNY NOR ORIGINAL! GO SIT AND THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU'VE DONE!"

I lived in Washington for most of my adult life. 15-20% is the standard. I think outside of the service industry, most people are unaware about the differences between tipped-sub minimum wage and minimum wage. I honestly had no idea it was a thing until relatively recently. Even now, after I've learned of it's…

It's a shame the rest of it is so awful because "just bring me a pizza" is a message I feel that everyone—regardless of race, gender or creed—can get behind.

The wild animal trade and specifically the private ownership of big cats is one of those areas where it's 100% black and white. It's pretty damned unethical.

We aren't domesticating them. Full stop.

Signed. DST is stupid, it's dangerous, and, at time when fluorescent lighting exists and is basically everywhere, is completely pointless.

I had a bad reaction to a vaccine (encephalitis) and I get vaccinated against everything, with the exception of pertussis. I have 0 patience for people who chose not to vaccinate.

I suspect that you're right about that. He's never struck me as one who was super gung-ho about the military. Looking at his roles over the past few years, it seems like he is trying to take on meatier acting challenges, which I can't fault him for.

My favorite part of this is that those two are sitting together and their reaction is basically identical. I really hope they're friends outside of forced award show interactions because that would make me incredibly happy.
