    Love or loveless, 1.4million participant is heck lot of people.

    The tunnel or mouth of the tunnel that was the scene of the stampede should not have been saturated. Next time I see a situation like this, I would not enter the tunnel or even go near it.

    The Facebook Data Torrent Debacle

    It seems that some guy got the names and FB URLs (and maybe some other information) from 1/3 of the users on Facebook and made a torrent out of it.

    It looks like he's still wearing the same clothes from his previous size. You'd think someone with his fame and fortune would buy new clothes. And why do people make such drastic changes to their bodies/selves? Marie Osmond did the same thing, and they both look terrible, almost as bad as their chunky selves. What's wrong with a nice middle point??

Where the dreamer and his dream?”

    it might just be a really old picture, from the time he was much younger, but he looks so much better 'fat' than his new thin image.

    he's a cross between a zombie and a grandpa.

    Currently Watching: probably a show directed at 9 years old girls, lets be honest.

    You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.

    What she doesn't seem to realize is that Kim was famous before she made a sex tape. You have to do it in that order or it doesn't work.

    I don't see Formula 1 being cancelled for good after drivers died (and more than one have kicked the bucket). During World Rally Championships even audience members have been killed. Yet they are still as strong as ever.

    I guess as long as there's big money and business involved, a death is just an unfortunate accident, otherwise it's a catastrophe.

    I saw this on the news earlier but wasn't paying attention until I saw it again on the Colbert Report: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/nati...ts_down_e.html

    Male flight attendant of 28 years finally gets tired of moronic customers, swears at a woman over the intercom, grabs some beers, slides down the emergency chute, and drives home to have sex with his boyfriend.

    A goddamn American hero.

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

    A jetBlue co-worker who was on the flight called Slater a working-class hero.

    "It's something we all fantasize about," she said. "But we have kids and a mortgage or are just too chicken - or sane - to go through with [it]."
    yeah, screw the two weeks notice. that's quitting with style.

    The Hong Kong media's all over this at the moment, mainly focusing on how badly the situation was handled by the police.

    I have to agree, having been able to see it live. It was absolutely horrible. They missed numerous chances to detain or kill the hostage taker.

    The most hilarious part was when they used a tear gas grenade but didn't have gas masks. Having realized this mistake, they borrowed a surgical mask from the medical team on stand by. <sweat drop>

    The Commission of Human Rights will be bawwing if they did that. Plus, SOP dictates that you do not terminate the hostage taker unless he became a threat. He's still wasn't a threat when they had clear shots.

    Government too broke due to corruption. Heh, what's new?

    Another fine reason not to reveal you're a failipino in the net. Oh wait, too late.

    The BBC News had a pretty good breakdown on everything they did wrong, most of it due to inadequate training and experience in this sort of situation.

    "These are remarkable statistics. Even though heavy drinking is associated with higher risk for cirrhosis and several types of cancer (particularly cancers in the mouth and esophagus), heavy drinkers are less likely to die than people who have never drunk."

    When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments. Here was a machine of precision and balance for the convenience of man. And (unlike subsequent inventions for man's convenience) the more he used it, the fitter his body became. Here, for once, was a product of man's brain that was entirely beneficial to those who used it, and of no harm or irritation to others. Progress should have stopped when man invented the bicycle. ~Elizabeth West, Hovel in theHills
