My friend got mugged, but she didn't have anything on her, so they took a handful of dirty kleenex and a cheap plastic bracelet. (They also mugged her friend who did have stuff worth stealing).

@Sheryl Nantus: In the bigger, more disastrous events, usually the person who was responsible ended up dying. When the problem was resolved, there was no one left to be held responsible.

@psychiccheese: Also: [hijinksensue.com]

I understood Inception. But this infographic? Not so much.

@FriedPeeps Can Kick A Stupid Shark's Ass: It's possible. But it does look slightly more comfortable, with the front being more "open". Also, less possibility for strangulation since they'll probably just get ripped off first.

@icecreamman: If you already know how to touch type, getting faster is just a matter of typing more. Getting a program might help, but probably isn't worth whatever it costs. So, if you want to learn to speed up your typing in your spare time, start by transcribing some text from another source.

@Schmeg Peg: The originals are still very impressive. But I do agree that the video looks better than the originals.

@FriedPeeps Can Kick A Stupid Shark's Ass: Having something wrapped around the front of your neck can be annoying and possibly dangerous.

@Donkler:

@Prairie Moon: That's good enough for me!

@Wwhat: My pen has both a spring and a barrel. And I could use it to vandalize the fold down trays!

@Architectin: I think the "secret" is magnets. But I have no idea how they work. Must be a miracle.

If you really want to know what it feels like, you'd have to interview Spacebat.

When I read that headline, I thought it meant that there was going to be a sequel (or a trilogy as M. Night had planned).

Just a note, Canadian provincial abbreviations don't work with this. You have to type in the full name.

My method:

@john166: How does that law apply to new products? Because (at least in Canada) there are many products introduced at the sale price, to get people to buy something that they might not have bought otherwise.

@geolemon: I think they protect the mattress from the metal bed frame.
