    This whole thing is a circus, but the reason that says she worked for two years and got tired? Really?? This is what she pays that lawyer for? I mean, who quits a job because they needed a break after 2 years?

    She also quit on a Friday right before a holiday weekend to minimize media exposure. That only saved her for a few days though. link

    Sarah Palin loves the spotlight, she somehow turned a political career into an entertainment career. When things excited her, when she got to wear nice things, spit out catchphrases and generally just flaunt her ignorance to the American people, things were fun for her, but people say that when it came to the tedious, number crunching side of politics she wasn't satisfied.

    I am quite frankly terrified at the thought of her running for President and unfortunately I don't trust my country enough not to vote for her.

    Famous celebrities always die in threes. This string of deaths is making it hard to tell who's next.

    We had Carradine, then McMahon, then Fawcett.
    Then MJ, and now Mays.

    Does that mean there's one more on the horizon?

    <@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs

    David Carradine
    Ed McMahon
    Farah Fawcett

    Does that help establish a pattern and the identity of the mysterious 3rd celeb in the second set?

    I was hanging out with a pal of mine over the weekend. His old lady called crying, "I can't believe Michael is dead."
    My pal replies, "bitch why are you crying for him? You hate child molesters; Your son was molested; Your brother is in jail for the rest of his life for child molestation. Why the fuck should you cry for Jackson? You should be glad he's burning right now."
    His old lady says, "I don't believe he's guilty. That was all invented by the media."
    My pal asks, "You really think that freak is innocent?"
    His old lady says, "Yes, just like O.J. is"
    She wasn't being sarcastic.

    I know "not guilty" doesn't mean "innocent" but I honestly think Michael wasn't the horrible pedophile most people made him out to be.

    The case where the family settled for 20 million dollars or whatever was already suspect because the father of the kid tried to extort money from Michael before even going to the police. Apparently there wasn't even enough evidence to support a criminal trial, so the family resorted to a civil suit, which was settled out of court with the 20 million. It wasn't hush-money, as many people seem to assume.

    And yeah, you can blame the outcome of the other trial on the prosecution or anything else, but Michael was still acquitted, so there you go...

    He was obviously a nut-job, and surrounded by people who leeched off him (like Uri Geller) and didn't try to help curb his eccentricities, but it just never really seemed like he was a child molester.

    <@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs

    I'm inclined to agree with xanbcoo, especially after this article:
    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...onths-ago.html

    Its kinda hard not to see MJ as a victim of his fame.

    If MJ wasn't a child molester, that is too bad. I questioned it slightly while watching dateline the other night but having grown in the 90's, all I knew of MJ was the child molestation accusations, one glove, and the moonwalk.

    That's really interesting, though I can't see why they're treating it as some sort of scientific revolution. What are the benefits of replacing silicon with graphene? Is it just cheaper to produce or what?

    And for today's gossip: http://www.scientificblogging.com/j_...ntity_disorder
    Am I seriously suggesting that Michael Jackson was a homosexual autohebephile whose erotic goals included resembling Peter Pan and having sex with pubescent boys? I sure am. If I am right, then somewhere there are images of Peter Pan that Michael Jackson brought to a plastic surgeon. There are also computer-generated images of the surgeon's plans for Jackson's face. But I am less certain that Peter Pan is the inspiration of Michael Jackson's plastic surgeon than about the general idea that Jackson was trying to be a pubescent male.
    Interesting little theory about MJ he's got going on here. Not totally unfounded, either.

    I'm guessing it's like when some guy said "Computers of the future would be as big as an entire room, and only the very rich could afford one", then along game microcircuits.

    The fact that it can be made to 1-atom thick means it's suddenly possible to produce much smaller chips and circuits than before. The fact it's so hardy yet flexible only enhances this. Then increase that performance by 100x.

    Current silicon circuit manufacturing technology might have its limits to how small they can etch or produce silicon circuits, as well as how well the silicon will stay intact in such small quantities.
