Really? I thought all suicides negated an insurance payoff. But that could just be from watching too many TV shows.
It depends on the policy. I once worked at an insurance company - some policies had a "suicide clause" and some didn't.
I like pancakes 'cause they're stackable. Ooo, and waffles 'cause you can put things in the little holes if you wanted to.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

OK, I haven't felt spiritually inadequate since Mother Teresa died, but the Amish are doing me in with the "I'm not worthy" thing. We should send them on tour of the big corporate churches, but that's kind of counter-intuitive and cruel to the Amish.

"They were amazing," Rhoads said, "absolutely amazing. There was a tremendous amount of calm and courage in that schoolroom."
Understatement of the century. Holy crap that's something.

I really shouldn't find anything about this funny, but that's funny. Sad, but funny.

The sound produced by the kitty messing with the turntable is either fake or off, but still damn funny....

It is nice to hear about vocally religious Christians who are actually striving to be Christ-like for a change, isn't it?

Day-for-Night, an hommage to Paco Rabanne and a celebration of the beauty of electronics, is a modular, reconfigurable dress comprised of more than 400 white circuit boards (the number changes as the dress can get longer or shorter). The circuit boards are tied together with metal rings, individually addressable and linked to a central control unit at the back of the dress. Solar cells are embedded on some of the tiles: they charge the dress during the day, and make it change colors in dimly lit surroundings.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My life has become ridiculous. I just had to reschedule a dentist appointment I have for next Thursday, and the next time that was good for me and the dentist was in November! Granted, he's only at that office two days a week, but still.

Brenda, that's sad, but funny.
A driver has been left stunned after returning to his parked car to find yellow lines painted underneath it and a ticket on the windscreen.
So unfair!!
