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

It's too bad that the word 'fiend' has fallen out of usage for the most part. 'Coke fiend' is such a cool phrase. I mean, you never hear about crack fiends.

Alright, but I'll have you know, I'm nobody's sidekick.

Eta: I'd be Chuck Norris' sidekick.

Librarian Warlord

Google plans to announce on Wednesday that it is offering a service that will permit Internet users to search through the archives of newspapers, magazines and other publications and uncover material that in some cases dates back more than 200 years.

As a librarian, here's the hurdle I'll have to get my patrons over: The Google service will tell them that the article is available for a price -- not that it's available to them for free because we already subscribe to all the services mentioned as partnering with Google.

But the partnering is very interesting, indeed, since Franklin Pierce did a beta test with the Google Search Appliance, [link]

Weird.

23 hours on train with dad's corpse

She said she didn't have the money to send her father's body home from Colorado after he died Sunday on an Amtrak train en route to Chicago. So a Grayslake woman waited as long as 23 hours to report the death, alerting authorities only after the train pulled into Union Station the next day, Chicago Police said.

The woman told police that her ailing father, 80-year-old Daniel Stepanovich of Hammond, Ind., died in their sleeper car around 6:30 p.m. Sunday, close to the time the eastbound California Zephyr pulled into Glenwood Springs, Colo., said Chicago Police spokeswoman Jo Ann Taylor.

However, it wasn't until the train, which left the San Francisco Bay area Saturday morning, got to Chicago's Union Station at 5:45 p.m. Monday that she notified train conductors of the death, Taylor and Amtrak said.

Always Anti-fascist!

On the Wire you do. In fact some of us in the fandom have gone from "Wireheads" to "Wire fiends" because we are so hung up we waited for a damn year and a half and who else but a junkie would do that?!
