Allyson, I'm glad you're all ethical 'an stuff... but you really should have found out if he was just bonkers or an eccentric rich guy you could have helped with very special equipment for reasonable compensation.
Also, I can kill you with my brain.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Seems unlikely but: has anyone been paying attention to this lonelygirl15 saga?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I haven't been following lonelygirl15 very closely, but I've seen this about her.

Was this the yourtube-possibly-an-actress-not-kid-diary thing? I sort of caught something on npr about it, but I wasn't paying close attention.

What is even happening?
Just now, I got a call from a man who was hit in the head with a laser and was implanted with a chip that reads his thoughts. And he wants to know if we know what kind of laser this is and how to remove the chip. I told him we don't have those kinds of lasers here, and wished him luck.
Was his name William, or any derivative thereof?
How could you lie to him so brazenly?
Because she's in service to them, Laura. I, for one, welcome our laser hoarding, chip-implanting overlords.
Even though I only use it once a month or so, I have the EZ-Pass, which means that I don't have to go fumbling around for change, and get to wave merrily at all the toll-payers in their long long slow lines as I carefully zip past through the EZ lane. It's like a TiVo for your car, sort of!
The Hampton, NH tolls are such a clusterfuck, if there is traffic, you don't get to the EZ-Pass lanes any quicker than you get to the cash lanes. You almost don't go through any more quickly once you get to them, and if you do, it's only after many attempts on your life by Mass. drivers who aren't yet used to the toll change, and get in the wrong damn lane, anyhow. When the traffic isn't bad, there's hardly any difference.

She's a video diarist on youtube whose production values and intriguing storylines have had a lot of people speculating that she's fake. I've been reading some of the metacommentary about it, though not really watching her diaries. I was wondering if anyone here had a take on it. Seems fake to me, but the mystery is interesting-- they've managed to make more compelling mystery than Lost, though YMMV.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
This year I was flabbergasted to find Memphis liquor stores closed on July 4th (along with a lot of restaurants). I wasn't aware that the Fourth had become a close-the-shops-and-roll-up-the-streets kind of holiday like Christmas. And I would have thought it to be a prime selling time for liquor stores—next they'll be closing on New Year's Eve!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. -- The owner of DataUSA Inc., a company that conducted political polls for the campaigns of President Bush, Sen. Joe Lieberman and other candidates, pleaded guilty to fraud for making up survey and poll results.
...
According to a federal indictment, Costin told employees to alter poll data, and managers at the company told employees to "talk to cats and dogs" when instructing them to fabricate the surveys.
