The NYPD then proceded to tazer the drone and beat it with clubs until it was dead, saying, "Grunk saw bird. Grunk say bird is good food. But, bird too boney. Not enough to go around."

Just think that if you were part of the Deaf community they would be up in arms and complaining that there was nothing wrong with you etc.

Did Insurance cover the cost of all this?

This is actually the Eustachian tube, which connects the middle ear space to the nasopharynx and helps the middle ear correct for pressure changes in the environment. (When your ears "pop" in an airplane or when going up a mountain, it's this tube opening.)

Anyone else loving that sponsored airbrushed story about Verizon with all the flak they're taking now? It's appearing as the article above this one right now. I especially love that the discussion is "closed" (which is why I post here), probably because people would bring up the PR debacle with Netflix they're trying…

Gizmodo posted this yesterday, so I figured I'd help avoid the "I hate video post" comments. If any of these sound interesting, watch the video. Note that these are described as "debunked myths," but the items in the list are the truth, not the myth.

+1. I clicked on the article just to see who would post this.

"We're not dead yet... "

Public figure. Satirical. No case.

Unfortunately, public figures like Clinton usually don't have any legal recourse when it comes to use of their image. Especially in anything that could be considered satirical, even if it's scummy stuff like this.

I tried giving this another chance, but noooo. This is dumb. Not fun dumb. Dumb. The "acting"? And Giles' accent? Costner's in Robin Hood is alllll balanced out now. I hope the angels slaughter all the humans. I've been all over the world and ingested some interesting substances , but Meredith, whatever you're taking…

More accurately, it's basically a jack stand used for hangar maintenance on the nose gear. They get placed under the aircraft, then raised on hydraulic stands to take the load off of the gear to allow retracting of the gear or replacement. Not strictly designed for this purpose, but it's hardly a stretch to use one…
