My dentist does a small round of x-rays every visit (i.e. every six months.)

Pregnant women skew the numbers too, they can have anywhere from 3 to a dozen sonograms.

yabbut she is still more than "big".

MRI and sonograms do not involve radiation. Just saying.

But they are "imaging studies".

More weird news. Don't steal tips from waiters. Just don't.

And the cops arrested the robbery victims for defending themselves during the robbery.

Don't steal from bartenders either. I killed more than one person for such sneakiness, back in my day.

Thats what bothers me the most. That they got arrested defending themselves.

Lets see there is one less loser on the planet, no wasted money on prosecution, detention or trial (fuggetabout rehabilitation) and the people who provided this service have been arrested?
I'd say a thank you is in order, not arrest. . . oh and their tips too.

Yes, but this was in France. The waiters' proper response should have been, "but of course you may have our tips. allow me to provide directions to my home. please take what we have there as well'"

Several observations...

How can 7 people be arrested if the guy was killed with ONE knife? Unless the other 6 held the guy down...

I guess France has no right to personal self defense either. Sure, one could argue that they should have handed the money over, but who's to say he wouldn't have shot someone anyway. In this day and age, compliance doesn't equal safety.

I guess the robber never heard the old adage about bringing a gun to a knife fight. :D

lol - very good!

My great great grandmother used to kill squirrels and cook them up for my dad and his sisters. My dad said she was a great shot. I knew her when I was little, She was the toughest lady I ever met. She mowed her 4 acres on a hill with a push mower into her 80s. She had skin like leather.

My thoughts zachry. Delivered at 31 weeks was most likely for distress, for someone in the bunch. In that case delivery is within minutes of incision, for a good surgeon anyway. The part I don't get is the 40 something spectators.

Detectives are investigating the death of a 68-year-old man who was found beaten inside his Plano home this morning, Plano police said.
1100 block, Avenue I

Sherlock Holmes was found by a friend about 12:45 a.m. inside his home in the 1100 block of Avenue I, said Plano police spokesman Rick McDonald.

Police were interviewing neighbors and friends to determine a motive, McDonald said.

Holmes, a longtime resident of Plano, was a member of the city’s Douglass Community Center.

Well, no shit.....

Moriarty wanted for questioning.

Oh, and she already had 6 kids.

She "never expected to have eight more when she took fertility treatment, her mother said." WTF? You have six kids, and THEN you take fertility treatments??

And no husband (no information given about even a steady boyfriend, LTR, or details on the baby daddy/ies of the 6 kids she was already fertile enough to squirt out), lives with her parents. Is "Quite Young." Let me go out on a limb and guess that she is not employed, but is on welfare and every other kind of assistance out there.

Isn't there some kind of questionnaire at the clinic?

How did she pay for the fertility treatments? Are they covered under MediCal too?

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

Jane Austen's classic novel Pride and Prejudice is being updated as a zombie horror book and film.

A parody of the English novel is due to be published in April under the name Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, with Hollywood studios already bidding to turn the new book into a blockbuster movie.

The new book has been penned by Los Angeles-based TV comedy writer Seth Grahame-Smith, who has been able to update Austen's original tale because it is out of copyright.

Austen fans are in for a shock, with heroine Elizabeth Bennet and her four sisters becoming zombie slayers and taught how to fight like Japanese ninjas by Mr Darcy.

"It quickly became obvious that Jane (Austen) had laid down the blueprint for a zombie novel," The Sunday Times quoted Grahame-Smith as saying.

"Why else in the original should a regiment arrive on Lizzie Bennet's doorstep when they should have been off fighting Napoleon?

"It was to protect the family from an invasion of brain-eaters, obviously."

Grahame-Smith said about 85 per cent of his novel is Austen's original text.

"I hated her when I was forced to read Austen in school, but when I started re-reading I realised she was a brutal, but very funny, satirist," he said.

"I can only aspire to be as mean-spirited as she could be."

Oh it's a sacrilege! How could he???

Wow. I might vomit.

Not that anything is sacred.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies?

Already been done.

2001 Maniacs

At first, I was thinking, "Oh, it's just your standard bad fan fiction, nothing to look twice at," but then I read:

If you can shoehorn zombies into a text while maintaining an 85% integrity rate on the original... maybe there's more talent here than meets the eye. Or maybe Austen really was secretly writing about zombies.

Okay, I'd like to see this written into an Austen novel:

"I say, Mr Darcy, whatever is that?"
"Sadly, I know not, Miss Bennett, I have never seen the like before."
"To what use do you imagine it might be put, then, Mr Darcy?"

She deserved it. Fuck her, if she wanted out she should have packed up and left.

Sounds like about the same ick factor with cloth diapers. Which is moderate, but not unbearable. For pete's sake the baby can handle it.

But I will continue to kill trees one roll at a time, thankyouverymuch.

You don't have to kill trees, or launder wipers, just use paper made from recycled fiber.

You can't make this up:

Floridian called 911 three times over McDonald's chicken shortage

:lol2:

http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive...mcnugget1.html

And when the police showed up SHE got cited. Excellent.

What should she have done instead? If a customer took food from McDonalds without paying, you can be damn sure that McD's would call the cops on them. How is this any different?

She paid her money, and they refused to give her what she paid for. And they wouldn't return her money. They stole her money.

I'm with glatt. She ordered, she paid, then they said, "Nevermind, we don't have the thing you ordered and we won't give you your money back." Okay, calling 911 was maybe a little over the top, but I bet if she'd presented her side in a more coherent manner (i.e., "They are robbing me," rather than "My McNuggets are an emergency!") then she would not have been cited. Fuck that McDonald's.

Yeah, using 911 instead of a non-emergency police number was her mistake. "All sales are final"? It's not a sale if she didn't get what she paid for.

Exactly, call the cops but not on 911.

I agree with HM and Bruce. Too many people use the 911 system for Non-emergencies.

And if the customer stole a pack of McNuggets from McDonald's, should McDonald's call the non-emergency number too?

Who keeps the non emergency number memorized in their heads anyway? It varies by precinct. When you go out to a restaurant, do you know which precinct you happen to be closest to? If you called directory assistance, would you even be able to explain to them what number you were looking for? Directory assistance doesn't have the resources to look up what precinct is closest to your address. They aren't going to pull out a map.

It would have been better for her to use the non emergency number, but she should not be cited for calling 911. This was a matter for the police, and she called 911 to get the police. She did nothing wrong.

I'll admit I didn't listen to the tapes. If 911 provided her with the non-emergency number and told her to get lost, and she called again, then I'd have no problem with the citation. But if they were just ignoring a person who was calling to report a robbery in progress, like she was, then the 911 center screwed up.

Yes

I have the local one programmed in my cell phone.
That depends on if I'm in my local area or not.
Absolutely, and every operator knows exactly what you want as well. They are specifically trained on this stuff.

We disagree. She called 3 times on a line that is for emergencies only. The McDonalds wasn't going anywhere. They were not a flight risk. This was a non-emergency. This was NOT a life or death situation - not even close.

Perhaps that woman thought the number 911 is for calling the police?

No, they should just shoot them.

That does reduce repeat offenders

Eventually.
