"a pair of smart earrings"

It's a thine line between being creative and being delusional.

I'm not sure why this is either news or surprising to anyone living in the U.K. About 7 years ago I was fingerprinted in a police station in England using what was then the new (now commonplace) electronic system. As part of the fingerprinting process I was told that the prints (and DNA sample) would be stored in the U.S. Later, my lawyer tried to have the prints destroyed (I was never charged) but we were informed that that wasn't possible because they weren't the property of the police "service" to destroy.

There goes a man who's never in a hurry to get anywhere...

It's nonsense language like "a way to retool the essential impulse behind that platform point" that confirms what most of us know... this is going nowhere.

The story at the end of that link would be a hell of a more effective if it wasn't written in the Pakistani equivalent of 12-year-old Valley Girl speak.
