I am a night person and I still find E to W easier to adjust to. My night owl tendencies when I got W to E mean I will stay up waaaaay too late and get up late.
Mal: How come you didn't turn on me, Jayne? Jayne: Money wasn't good enough. Mal: What happens when it is? Jayne: Well... that'll be an interesting day.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I find E to W easier because that first morning W I can always just sleep until local time is getting up time no matter how early I might have gone to sleep the night before and after that I'm more or less acclimated.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
don't fuck with Scrabble Champions:
Chollapat Itthi-Aree of Thailand demanded that officials at this past weekend's World Scrabble Championships in Warsaw strip and search his opponent, Ed Martin of England. Itthi-Aree thought Martin had hidden a letter "G" somewhere.
The Scrabble authorities, though, "decided against the strip search, saying there wasn't enough evidence of cheating," CBS News reports.
Martin went on to with their match by one point.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Really, Catholic Church? Institutional baby trafficking?
Up to 300,000 Spanish babies were stolen from their parents and sold for adoption over a period of five decades, a new investigation reveals.
The children were trafficked by a secret network of doctors, nurses, priests and nuns in a widespread practice that began during General Franco’s dictatorship and continued until the early Nineties.
Hundreds of families who had babies taken from Spanish hospitals are now battling for an official government investigation into the scandal.
Several mothers say they were told their first-born children had died during or soon after they gave birth.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Well, the only solution for alleged Scrabble cheating is to have the players play naked.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
David,
that is really shocking. One of the comments on the article says not to blame the Catholic church, but it was the actions of its members that was at issue.
However, when we are talking about several thousand babies, nevermind 300,000 babies, I think that is an institutional failing and not one that can simply be attributed to a handful of nurses, doctors, priests and nuns.

To dissuade Scrabble players from hiding letters in body cavities, the letters could be made radioactive. Then each time a player puts down a letter, it would be checked for radioactivity.
