There was also a petition on there to build a Death Star. The gub'mint said it would cost $850,000,000,000,000,000 to build, then followed that with "We're working hard to reduce the deficit, not expand it."

::)

Edit: Oh holy hell, That news story on Bieber said there were 104,700 signatures. One day later, it's at almost 200,000. I find it hilarious that this "State Department spokeswoman" (Spokeswoman? Really, NOW?) has to "check and see what the visa implications would be for anybody who is found of possibly violating the law" - of course she wouldn't know, why would she, working as a spokesperson for the State Department? It's not rocket science - if someone commits a serious enough crime, that can get their green card revoked and their ass deported. I hate Bieber almost as much as Manziel.

Not sure if this is particularly interesting to anyone or not. It definitely lends a certain morbid curiosity.

http://www.arcgis.com/apps/StorytellingTextLegend/index.html?appid=0d41baefd133497db0a10018af579b5a

This site is the e-collection of several deaths, accidental and otherwise, associated with the Grand Canyon. There is a book called Death in Grand Canyon that I own, which will shed light on exactly how deadly the Grand Canyon can be. The data on this site is largely derived from the research put into said book. Not just with falls, either.

QuoteOver 770 deaths have occurred in Grand Canyon from the first river exploration by John Wesley Powell and his crew of 1869 to tourists falling off the rim today.

Zoom in with your mouse wheel towards any hexagon with a number and eventually the hexes will turn into icons representing the accident or other unfortunate incident that occurred.

Then, click on an icon to get a pop-up window with a brief synopsis of that event.

Betty White was born in 1922, a full six years before the Chillicothe Baking Company sold the very first loaf of sliced bread on July 7, 1928.

Therefore, sliced bread is the best thing since Betty White.

Surprising how many airplane crashes apparently happen around and in the Grand Canyon.  Personally if someone told me "Hey we are going to fly into the largest hole on Earth.  It'll be awesome!", I'd walk away and feeling comforted that I missed that unique and awesome experience.

I didn't turn into stone when I looked at her but.... I do feel a sudden stiffening occurring.  :-"   Better try it again with a mirror this time.

No other good place to drop this, but I didn't want to start a new thread for it.

The divorced couple they're talking to were both former students of mine at WPU.  He had the class in the Spring, and she took it over the summer.  They got married in between.

They're also both pretty active in the local roller derby scene here, and I have friends whose kids were/are on the team coached by the guy, and other friends who are married to some of her old teammates from the Carolina Rollergirls.  Somehow, I have never been to a roller derby event.

I went to a roller derby event when I was a kid.  That would have been in the early to mid 1970s in San Diego.

One of my daughter's friends was a very competitive ice skater when she was young.  She's now about 29, and along the way she converted her ice skating skills into a spot on a roller derby team or something in NYC.  I was surprised to hear that roller derby was still a thing.

When I did fieldwork, one of the seasonal techs revealed she played on a derby team.. I asked her how she got into it. She told me there was a poster for tryouts at the tattoo parlour where she frequented....
