"So what's there more of in Louisiana than people?"

I found a photo of myself on Flickr that I didn't know about. That's the only real revelation.

@Magnakai Haaskivi: According to the sheriff and the prosecutor in the Michigan case, yes, you are. Livingston County is being crazy heavy-handed with this case. Here's what they've said:

@pleppy: I'm curious: How many were "WTF?" messages, and how many were "Aha! I knew it all along!" messages?

I spent an hour last night wondering what Stella's dress reminded me of. Looking at these photos, it finally hit me: Logan's Run! If there's ever a re-make, she could totally do the costumes. I bet they'd even let her dress up the fascist future cops in tons of "leatha."

@limoniastrum: @AKAtude02: Your "gypsies" are probably Irish travelers.

My Facebook photo is bad self-portrait with hair-combed-to-hide-a-receding-hairline.

Everybody needs to calm down and remember that shipping luggage is a situational strategy. Just because it doesn't work all the time doesn't mean it won't work sometimes.

@treecut...will cut a beech: You're thinking too small — if the fetus is a separate human being, women should be able to rename "abortion" to "eviction for non-payment of rent," and then take the 10-week old fetus to small claims court. That's about as logical as anything the South Dakota legislature is saying.

@CreoleSugar: That's not really a mature way to debate science. UC Irvine looked at 911 people, you looked at 2, and you're complaining that UC Irvine is the one who doesn't take sample diversity into account? What?

Sex for a gas card is not a good deal. With the price of gas going up faster than inflation, that gas card loses buying power more quickly than $100 cash would.

@Triphena: I doubt the 100 people are all locals. They're probably out-of-town perverts invited by the local perverts. The locals could have advertised on child porn websites and chat rooms

@Monsterdog: Before calling something an urban legend, you could at least check Snopes.com. They say it's not an urban legend. It is, however, mostly British. But the Los Angeles Fire Department is an example of an American agency that sorta supports it, too.

I lost a T-Mobile phone at a gas station in Detroit a couple of weeks ago. Damn, that was stressful. Tried calling and texting the phone (offered a reward in the text message), but all calls went to voicemail, and I don't think the text messages went through, either. (Judging by my account balance, nobody used the…

Daisy's customer service stories are disturbing. Who the hell was she working customer service for, the KKK?

@Charity Froggenhall: Having a wife doesn't excuse anything. There are lots of sexist morons who love their wives.

They aren't that secret. According to John M. Riddle (a history prof at North Carolina State), herbal abortifacient 'recipes' appear in classical and medieval texts, often with strange euphemisms like "menstrual purgative."

Everybody who's pointing out the violation of child labor laws is half-correct: In Texas, children under 14 aren't supposed to have jobs (except in special circumstances, like paper-routes and kids who work with their parents). What everyone is missing is that labor laws are enforced by states, not cities. The…

@haga2000: The United Sates is good with technology in theory. In practice, nothing cool gets implemented until the corporations can figure out how to charge extra for it. We nickel-and-dime progress to a halt around here.

@biminitwst: Well, if you're having sex missionary-style, the dog is probably thinking "They're doing it wrong, again."
