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

Cephalopod madness!

What is even happening?

Huh. When I posted about the mistaken identity stuff in Bitches last night, there wasn't a single response. I guess I should keep story links that freak me out for Natter. Or maybe actually say something more about the story than just Scary Story!

I didn't see it last night, Nicole. I was in the middle of going insane.

How lame am I that I am driving to my lunch appointment (and spending $7 to park, plus gas) when I could take the train for $4 just becuase it's too hot to walk to the train?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Wait--I thought TDS was repeats this week. It's new? AND I MISSED MY BELOVED JOHN HODGMAN? Oh the humanity.

I wonder if they put it up on their website. It was so freakin' good.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it was a re-run - it was just a re-run with Hodgman. I remember him being on not long ago (I know they re-ran the Dennis Leary one on Monday or Tuesday).

Also, sort of a surprise. If there were any question, wouldn't they have hauled out the genetic testing to be sure? I wonder what (or who) made them so positive as to the live girl's identity that they didn't question it at all.

In college, a sorority sister of mine was beaten so badly that she was in a coma for 8 weeks. At the time, the doctors were sure she'd been raped, too, because of the injury patterns, but they actually couldn't do a pelvic exam, use a rape kit etc., because of the extent of her injuries. I would assume that the same kind of thing happened here w/r/t checking dental records -- everyone seemed to think they knew who this was, so the doctors couldn't or wouldn't check because of the extraordinary injuries.

And with that, I definitely need to go to the TDS web site and lose my thoughts in some of the video snippets.
