If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

nearly???

I'd probably just laugh. Then I'd call the phone company and ask if they could put me on a payment plan - maybe $1 trillion per month....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Listen to accents of the world. I don't like the Jamaican accent. It's surely accurate in intonation, but she's talking way too slowly. Plus, it's just one of our accents. But it's not like the rest of the Caribbean is better represented.

It wasn't clear whether the bill was a mistake, or if Yahaya's father's phone line was used illegally after after his death.

So, wait, they're accepting the possiblity that someone actually ran up a $218 trillion bill in two months?

2.4 billion dollars a minute is not a very good rate. I'd get a different phone company.

Y'know, if you ask Scott McClellan, he'll tell you that the deficit is mainly due to Jenna and Barbara blabbing away when home for Thanksgiving.

Man stabbed for laptop in SF Wifi hot spot:

"I looked up, and I saw this guy leaning into me as if he was asking a question,'' he said. "I leaned forward, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw someone fiddling with the computer cord. I tried to stand up, and as I stepped back, he stabbed me in the chest.''

The attack marked a violent turn in a wave of crime that has hit the city -- the "hot spots" frequented by wireless laptop users are becoming hot spots for laptop robberies.
