Interestingly, he used the word frustration instead of despair. I would have thought the latter to be more dominant, but that might also suggest he had it in him to believe he may one day "wake up".

I wonder how long it took him to accept his situation. 2 years? 5 years? 10 years?

In other, more positive* news:
Large Hadron Collider makes first collisions
Geneva, 23 November 2009. Today the LHC circulated two beams simultaneously for the first time, allowing the operators to test the synchronization of the beams and giving the experiments their first chance to look for proton-proton collisions. With just one bunch of particles circulating in each direction, the beams can be made to cross in up to two places in the ring.
*proton pun

Discontent Seeps Into Japan's Anime Studios
It's kind of depressing. I have to wonder if international distributors like Madman or Funimation simply buy the distribution rights, or if they pay the Japanese studios royalty on their sales. Then again, the issue highlighted here was domestic DVD sales, which isn't something we can do anything about..
The issue isn't necessarily limited to anime workers neither. Japan's high cost of living is a killer. Same with house prices in Australia.

And people wondered how queen's blade could get such a good cast of VA's lolol.
Though seriously, I think most of us knew the anime industry was a pretty harsh one to work in, this should really change.
Students too fat to graduate

"They call it 'The American Dream' because you have to be asleep to believe it" - George Carlin
Welp! Nevermind. Turns out this story is almost completely bullshit. I feel dumb for buying into it so easily because in hindsight it was pretty sensationalist.
All the testimony coming from this guy was received using facilitated communication: http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2..._conscious.php
His parents also treated him as if he were conscious, so they spent those 23 years looking after him at home, talking to him, and taking him out socially. So even if he were conscious and aware, he certainly wasn't doing nothing. Most likely scenario seems to be that he's been taking a 23 year-long nap, and now his helpers are either intentionally or unintentionally making everything up.

That's the first time I've heard of facilitated communication. I so don't buy that.

Guy eats evidence while being searched.

Lol he looked so happy when he ate it without the cops noticing.
ty psj for this sig
Cop on the right looks like a dumb rookie. He'll probably get reprimanded for shoddy police work for letting the crook eat the evidence.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
This belongs in the funny vids thread buddy.

That's pretty damn funny. I hope he gets away with it because he ate the note.

You can't be serious. This dirtbag is a bank robber. He probably robs/burglarizes other businesses/homes too. He should be shot dead and his body thrown in a ditch.

Innocent until proven guilty.

Guilty until proven innocent would help clean up the streets. Considering you live in a place founded by penal colonists, you might consider towing a harder line.

Would you like to extend that line of thinking into science, and say that phenomena should be deemed true and existent until disproved?
Guilty until proven innocent increases the likelihood that crooks are caught, but at the price that a significant number of innocent people will also be wronged and needlessly suffer.
I could hit my head on some wall on the way home and blame some poor guy nearby for attacking me. Under "guilty until proven innocent", if he can't prove he didn't hit me, he'd be in for some trouble.

Look, there's obviously evidence that he ate the note (raising suspicion against him) because we saw the recording from the cruiser. So I highly doubt that justice was not correctly served in this case.
But that doesn't make it any less awesome. It was a very slick and clever move, since they didn't even notice.
The article says they found bags of money in his car, and the money got tagged by the ink grenade things that bankers usually slip into the bags as well. Plus the gun he had with him was found under the drivers seat. Why would a note be the only piece of evidence for a bank robbery?

Sure why not extend it into every other non-related topic as well.

Like what?
"Guilty until proven innocent" is simply the thought of "Something (accusation) is right until proven wrong" put into a legal context. It is much harder to prove definitively that something is definitely incorrect in general, as opposed to prove with near certainty that something is likely to exist.
Not to mention the practicalities in a real life setting. Police go around making accusations while lawyers and the defendant have to scour around for evidence proving their innocence?
The idea is stupid to begin with.
