... WTF...leaving American ...
Sen. Jeff Wilson from WA state. arrested bringing a gun in to Hong Kong.
He just forgot it was in his hand luggage.
"It was an honest mistake, and I expect the situation to be resolved shortly"
The arrogance of belittling gun issues over and over, when it comes from one demographic, and the "do the crime, do the time" and other rhetoric, when it's another.

Just read an interesting story on CNN. In a remote part of Nevada a Swiss couple on vacation stopped their car suddenly to allow a giant Tarantula to cross the road and was rear ended by a Canadian motorcyclist. I was surprised you could spot a Tarantula crossing the road but they can have leg spans up to 11 inches.

So, your boyfriend or girlfriend receives a nice inheritance. $30 million!! Nice!

Do you; (a) be really nice to them, or (b) give them so much antifreeze to drink, they die.

OK, so you choose to kill them. And expect to inherit half the money .. ? Really?

Further to this...

Warner Bros shelves completed $70m Coyote vs Acme movie
Warner Bros is reportedly shelving a completed $70m movie to take an estimated $30m tax write-down...

The writer-director Brian Duffield tweeted: “I have seen this movie and it is excellent. It also tested in the high 90s repeatedly. It also had interested buyers. The people working at Warner Bros are anti-art and I hope multiple anvils drop on their heads.”

You see, this is a great example of why everyone should study Logic at school.

That too.

Although how it's possible that anyone is left alive in that village, or would move there, is a mystery.

Property prices would be low. Affected not only by the murders themselves, but also constant availability due to same.

I thought about sticking this in the Funny Pictures thread, but I was flying on American Airlines, so I'll post it here. I was flying from CLT to LHR, but I have no idea what the mapping software was doing to come up with this gem. Spot the bizarre error!
