Em and Kate are trouble squared
AMEN to that!
Mal: So we run. Nandi: I understand, Captain Reynolds. You have your people to think of, same as me. And this ain't your fight. Mal: Don't believe you do understand, Nandi. I said 'we run'. We.

No, false imprisonment is actual imprisonment without any right to do so under the law. The "false" part is not having the right to do so. Your example of lying to someone about whether or not they were imprisoned could constitute false imprisonment if it was reasonable that the "prisoner" would believe the door was locked.
Yes, well, I was making with the funny. Or, rather, the logical. Which is all too often the same thing.

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

Sorry. Your logic did make sense. Thinking about it, false imprisonment is a silly term-of-art for what is really wrongful imprisonment. I bet there's some back-story there but I'm too lazy to look it up.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Know any global warming skeptics? This might be useful.
What are some of the reasons why "climate sceptics" dispute the evidence that human activities such as industrial emissions of greenhouse gases and deforestation are bringing potentially dangerous changes to the Earth's climate?
As the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) finalises its landmark report for 2007, we look at 10 of the arguments most often made against the IPCC consensus, and some of the counter-arguments made by scientists who agree with the IPCC.

On NPR SciFriday, one of the climate scientists was pointing out that we base serious policy/personal decisions on conjectures all the time, whether it's what stocks will do, whether an oil field will turn out to be productive, or the point spread on a football game, so why are we so much more resistant to taking steps about climate change?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Just so you know, I've been earwormed with "Karma Chameleon" all day.
