And I'd like to do it alone in the jungle
So, not on camera then? Works for me.
Everybody plays each other. That's all anybody ever does. We play parts.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I hope he gets eaten. By a hippo. Underwater. And I want the hippo to say, "Hold your breath now, beeyotch."

American illusionist David Blaine, who failed to break the world record for holding his breath underwater last week, has announced his next stunt will be living among wild animals in the jungle.
Didn't he used to do magic tricks?

You know, you have to love that the defense for Jeff Skilling in the Enron trial is "no, really, he was just totally incompetent!"
He said the government's main charge against Skilling was that he masterminded a large-scale conspiracy to mislead Wall Street out of greed and a desire for stature.
"Stature?" Petrocelli asked incredulously. "He's antisocial! He loved building the business. He didn't like running the business and he wasn't very good at it. He made a lot of mistakes (but) a mistake is not a crime."

Punishingly Intricate
He made a lot of mistakes (but) a mistake is not a crime.
OMG A mistake is TOTALLY a crime if it's an illegal mistake! Like, accidently running someone down in your car is a mistake but you are still liable for it. Your intent may affect the sentence you get but it doesn't relieve you of the responsibility for having committed the illegal act! Right?

If you'd have been there / If you'd have seen it / how could you tell him that he was wrong?

Jessica, I blame you SO MUCH for the fact that I'm now mentally casting "Chicago" with Ken Lay and Jeff Skilling.

Ewww! And the worst part is that I've mentally cast Jeff's brother Tom (probably the most respected TV meteorologist in the US and a real teddy-bear of a guy) as Velma Kelly's sister.

I'm not a lawyer but I occassionally enjoy playing one on the Internet. I think there still has to be an element of fault - recklessness or carelessness, negligence something. If you are driving over the speed limit, drunk, haven't maintained your car adequately, or simply are not excercising reasonable care. On the other hand if you are driving legally at the speed limit, watching what you are doing, and and a pedestrian darts out from between two parked cars, so that there is no way you can seeTom Cruise in time to stop...
Ummm my mind wanders. Your information from real lawyers may vary.
