While looking through a bunch of antique 2D photographs Boba Fett was pleased to find this image of one of his ancestors.

Adding my good wishes to those above for both Tersea and Patrick.

Jesus Wept!

I've got family members who work in Law Enforcement. I *know* what good, competent police work is. I even started down the road of becoming a police officer myself, until my red/green color deficiency put the kibosh on that.

I only hope that the work His Honor Mayor Calvo is doing with the Internal Affairs Division pays off and the person(s) responsible for this cluster-f&(k get handed their heads!

Tekna2007@#10: Agreed.
Cheye Calvo for President?

Monstrinho@#11:

Forget the Ghost Busters.... We need to get T.A.P.S. in on this one!

(T.A.P.S. = The Atlantic Paranormal Society. They debunk stuff like this all the time.)

Squalor@27:

BUDDY66 @26:

Nope, can't say that I ever have... felt Water Bears that is!

LGAGNON @43:

I haven't studied child psychology yet my two children were raised along the lines proposed by Artbot@28 and Svenski@23.

Both of my kids turned out OK. My daughter is now a reporter with a southern California newspaper and my son is currently attending school in pursuit of a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. Neither one has every exhibited a lack of spontaneity and/or conscience.

Before we all run off and start a "my kid is better than your kid" type of argument lets remember:
"There are ten thousand ways to sing the lays and every one of them is correct"
(Can't remember where I read that...)

Neat collection!

The minutes I saw the last picture in the set (the mattress-thingy) I was instantly reminded of this from Percy Bysshe Shelley:

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings: Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!

Cool! If I didn't have a trip planned to Washington DC that I can't get out of I would have been going to this.

Xeni: In your next to last paragraph I read "...loading guys buzzed around" as "loaded guys...". Shows where my heads at today.

Anon @#3: No it's not you. I'm finding them harder as well. Especially when they throw weird shades of red in there.... makes my color vision go squonk!

Thanks Cory!

Great site. This one's going in my bookmarks as I've already found two of her posts to be of great value.

THELIFEOFBRYAN@#8: I dunno man, I'm kind of leaning toward the limo antenna myself...:)

JOSHHAGLUND@#9: California also has a helmet law for bicycles.

Hmm... "Acoustic System Phase Corrector"...
and "blurring of the phase coherency"...

Sounds a little like telling someone they've got to change the fluid in their muffler bearing... :)

When I first read this I noticed that the attorney's last name was Springer and immediately thought of Jerry Springer :).

Had to click through to the actual article to find out his real name (Colby Springer). Figured it wasn't Jerry to begin with, but still had to click through to set my mind at ease.

toybreaker313: No need to apologize man!

I stand in awe of the creativity and gumption required to not only conceive of this idea but to actually implement it.

OK.... is anybody besides me hearing the theme music from Rawhide?

Just askin....

Speaking of Alice in Wonderland. I just ran across a re-telling of the Wonderland story by Frank Beddor. There are a series of books starting with
The Looking Glass Wars which then moves on to
Seeing Redd (The Looking Glass Wars) and a few others as well that fill in the back-story.

So far I've only picked up "Seeing Redd" but now I want to get the others too.

On my wishlist as well.

These all look great! Especially the shots in Byron, CA (hee-hee).

Xeni@2:
Just saw the URL that Adam@1 mentions in the credits for the segment.

That was amazing!
What *is* that music? I love it!

STRDER_MT2K@10:Agreed!

Joel, when's the book coming out?

Hopefully that works. Some posters mentioned a link in the Hot Bookmarks section but I don't see it there now. Must have been bumped off or something...

"Suburban man is the only member of his species who will plant a crop, water it, weed it, lavish it with tender loving care and never harvest it."

Can't remember where I heard that or who said it...

Oh WOW!

DOOM at angels 30!

I'm hyped on one hand and kinda bummed on the other.
Hyped because this looks so neat and would definitely be an airline I'd want to fly.

Bummed because I don't normally fly to anywhere Virgin Air goes. Guess I'll just have to plan a trip to London or something.

Xeni/Derek, I didn't see this as an ad at all. I saw this with the same sense of excitement and awe that you guys must have felt. Keep 'em coming!

The top picture (at the link) plus the other two long shots further down look to me like something M.C. Escher would do.

Nature immitating art???

BMJAMES @ #5:

Maker video please?

kthx

I think your thinking of "The Roads Must Roll" by Heinlein.

@spokehedz:

... and his hair was.... Perfect!

The free ice cream is a lie. :-)

Takuan @72: In Like Flint! Definitely!

Arghhh!!!

The first word should have been "Am"....

I'm I the only one who read the title as
"Homeless people *disgusted* as stranded tourists sleep on Heathrow's benches."

I thought it was another story about the mess in the new terminal. :-)
