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

This is a really cool video: James May Takes Takes An "Emotional" Ride To The Edge Of Space In A U2 Spyplane

British Journalist James May takes a trip in a U2 spyplane to the edge of space. He narrates the journey, waxes philosophical, and eats lunch (he has a tube of "peaches" which reminds him of "baby food", the pilot has clam chowder).

"it does make me feel slightly emotional" May says, and looks out the window. "The sky looks just breathtaking. If indeed that is the sky. Most of the sky is below us. I think that might be a view of eternity." The pilot agrees. "Technically speaking you are correct."

Coding and Sleeping

It was a cool video, 'cept they forgot to yell, "Yeeee-haaaa!" And honk the horn that plays Dixie.

I really don't understand the appeal of NASCAR over WRC. They use real cars and do stuff besides turn left.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Because he was really born in Kenya?

Always Anti-fascist!

Yeah, didn't mean to say he is wrong, especially as I don't know the case, it could totally be that there is something up like that. But people don't like believing bad things about their loved ones, of course.

Yeah, and he has a Kenyan birth certificate that looks a lot like an Australian one.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I can't stop reading about the woman who caused that accident in NY that killed her, her kid, her nieces, and 3 people in another car. I really wonder what was going on there.

I thought she had the equivalent of 10 drinks in her system, plus pot.

eta: Oops, late to the discussion.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Punishingly Intricate

Yes, I understand that is the physical reason for the crash. I'm curious about the why behind it considering that she wasn't, for example, someone with a long history of DUIs.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

It wouldn't be the first brain tumor that's made a person crazy.

The Ballad of Charles Whitman by the frequently tasteless Kinky Friedman:

There was a rumor about a tumor
Nestled at the base of his brain.
He was sitting up there with his .36 Magnum
Laughing wildly as he bagged 'em.
Who are we to say the boy's insane?...

The doctors tore his poor brain down,
But not a snitch of illness could be found.
Most folks couldn't figure just why he did it
And them that could would not admit it,
There's still a lot of Eagle Scouts around.
