''wanted to lease the judges..." "wanted to something about her weight..."

The Saudis generally shoot for around the 12th century, no? Sort of late-medieval, but with air conditioning and the Mercedes AMG line thrown in.

A very plausible argument that would gain added force if the human population — and their brains — showed much ability to resist the temptation of cookies themselves.

Some fresh perspective on Hackers — from the comments to Leitch's review.

Haha - fair enough. (Saw the early reviews btw, and knew I was gonna get a big serving of crow Kinja-ed my way.)

"Bathing and cleanliness, like many other things in our country, are big business."

"But that's only because I try to run every day."

Erin seems to have assigned her that little piece on ass-eating earlier today.

You've got a laser-like ability to find the most banal take on nearly any issue — it's actually kind of impressive.

"Perceived culpability"? Always a tough one to defend against — ask a Salem witch.
