YES, it can definitely happen, so be careful with that long hair! A girl in South Carolina got her hair sucked into the works (I guess she was bending down to get something) and was basically scalped.

But she's still Pink.

But... it's Oprah Magazine. I mean, it would be weird for other people to be on the cover, considering that Oprah built her empire on herself.

But... how are we supposed to talk about it if we can't see the video?

God, yes. I saw that episode when I was young and it FREAKED ME THE HELL OUT. Even now, I take a BIG step on and off escalators so that I am nowhere near the "teeth". I also compulsively check my shoes, hold my skirts up high, and if my hair is down and loose, I sometimes just say "fuck it" and find an elevator.

I can tell you've never driven in Florida.

If they truly did not want to scare anyone, I don't think they should have included that first one. It wasn't funny at all, it was terrifying! The whole time the girl was being dragged up the escalator I was having flashbacks to all those news reports of people getting their hair/clothes/shoes/body parts sucked into…

I'm trying to picture that, but nothing's coming to mind. How does that work?

You do realize that in most states, proper bicyclists who are obeying traffic laws are SUPPOSED to act like cars? In every state, bicycles are considered a vehicle and are allowed to take up the width of a lane. Saying that they should "stick to parks and low traffic areas" defeats the purpose of the bike as an…

Reading fail.

Soooo many reading problems in your statement.

The author gave three clear examples of men behaving in unacceptable manners—-three times where three men at three different venues had to be ESCORTED OUT by other people because their behavior was so out of line. How is that, in any way, comparable to "the author seems offended by anyone who disagrees with her"? …

It means he works at a college or university of some kind and teaches students.

I don't really believe that's true. I lived in Busan for two years, which is maybe 1/4 the size of Seoul, (although still the second largest city) and had no problem finding servers who were willing and able to speak English. Maybe not fluently, but definitely enough to order food from.

Consider that some sufferers of clinical depression attempt suicide on multiple occasions. Now does a brain implant seem "a bit extreme"?

Ah, thanks. I wasn't sure if it was federal or state law. :)

I have no idea. Seems like some sort of horrible weather phenomenon?

I won't speak to the laws in every state, but in most of the states in the US, if a company (or person) ships something to a person, with their name on their package, that thing becomes the property of the person on receipt of the package. For Kohl's to knowingly charge the woman for something she didn't purchase…

Well this clearly depends on the table. If tables were universally made of thin layers of plywood, then sure. But there are metal tables and heavy-slab-of-wood tables, etc. It also depends on the gun. Some handguns might not necessarily be stopped by the table, but depending on the gun and the material of the table,…

I am not sure about tea or coffee working "just as well". If you're drinking a diuretic, you're going to need more liquid to replace the liquid you're forcing out of your body. I mean, yes, technically, it's giving you water, but at the same time it's displacing water, (and depending on your reactions to caffeine,…
