Huge space diamond nicknamed "Lucy" (http://www.neatorama.com/2008/02/07/the-largest-diamond-in-the-galaxy-10-billion-trillion-trillion-carats/)That is cool!

I wonder how long it will be until someone tries to mount that on a ring.

I don't think any of us heard about the environmental disaster in Tennessee a few days ago. I just read this blog post about it (http://labricoleuse.livejournal.com/90318.html?style=mine#cutid1). Eeep.

Brilliant Swedish Man Tries Self-Immolation To Impress Girlfriend (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,473324,00.html)

A Swedish man's attempt to impress his date went horribly awry Friday, as he ended up lighting himself on fire and going into shock.

Porn industry seeks own stimulus ... package
Adult industry titans say economy has made Americans ‘go limp’

Seems everyone is lining up for a government handout, but in the case of the porn industry, you may wonder where the hands have been

TMZ is reporting that Hustler's Larry Flynt and "Girls Gone Wild" creator Joe Francis are asking for a $5 billion federal bailout of adult entertainment because "the economy has made America's appetite for sex go limp."
The whole story (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28549145/).

Boy, these guys sound pretty hard-up!

[alphabassettgrrl]

At least porn provides a valuable product. Tangible.

But the WTF? Why do they make concept cars? Why not spend the money on making actual cool cars people will want to buy? (and can actually buy)

[Kevy Baby]

While Nirvanaman can answer the question much better than I, the answer I would give is that concept cars are the beginning of new cars for the future. Sort of like a big brainstorming session. Actual production models/features/designs evolve out of the concept cars.

It's the same idea as you see in fashion with those clothes that no one really actually wears. It isn't about the specific reality, but about the ideas. Trickle down creativity.

[Ghoulish Delight]

I don't believe you. They take cool cars and take one little element and put it on a lame car no one wants anyway.They take cool looking cars and take the ideas from them and turn then into practical cars. You know, ones that you can actually fit in, don't cost $200,000, have trunk space, and won't instantly crush you in an accident.

From what I heard, they added him. They figured it was a bureaucratic mix-up, that they should have been told about him. He said he was a transfer from another precinct, and apparently nobody called to check on it.

One of the reporters talking about it said it was amazing he fooled all the officers. Talking to officers, they generally know who is one of them, and who is not. Except here.

Newly discovered catfish species climbs rocks
Fish's pelvic fin decouples from body and moves backward and forward

A previously unknown species of climbing catfish has been discovered in remote Venezuela, and its strange traits are shaking the evolutionary tree for these fish.

The newfound catfish, Lithogenes wahari, shares traits with two different families of fish — Loricariidae (armored catfishes) and Astroblepidae (climbing catfishes). It has bony armor that protects its head and tail, and a grasping pelvic fin that helps it to climb vertical surfaces such as rocks.The whole story (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28799126/)

Boy, 3, filmed smoking, mother convicted (http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/europe/01/23/boy.three.smoking.britain/index.html?iref=newssearch)

What the hell is this lady thinking?

Prosecutor Jonathan Rees told the court: "The video demonstrates the boy placing a cigarette into his mouth, lighting it with a lighter and sucking, drawing smoke clearly into the lungs and he seems to do it with some accomplishment.

"It doesn't cause him any discomfort. He is sat on a chair close to the mother, who is talking on the phone.

"It is clear that the boy, at the age of three, knows what to do with a lighter and cigarette," Rees said.

Pocock is reported to have pleaded guilty on the basis that she hadn't seen her son smoking on that occasion, or ever before, PA reported.

[RStar]

What a large litter!

I suppose a good education might very well be out of the question. They'll need to take out a loan just to cover the diapers.

Oh, and any sarogates available for brest feeding?

Oh, and any sarogates available for brest feeding?
The term is 'wet nurse' :D and I heard that she WAS planning on breast feeding.

And from around here...
There was a murder of a 'popular bartender' in the Quarter on the 17th. Here's an article (http://www.nola.com/news/t-p/metro/index.ssf?/base/news-33/123260596547140.xml&coll=1) about two of the being remanded to adult court. (The third, a 14 year old, is jailed but there's a big difference in LA law between 14 and 15)
But the part that gets me:
Both teenagers were turned in by their mothers, who recognized them from police sketches, and both confessed to detectives their roles in the Saturday night shooting, New Orleans Police Department Superintendent Warren Riley said Tuesday.

Ok, good for the Mom's for turning them in, but now there's talk about them maybe getting the Crime Stoppers Reward (standing reward for turning in murders). Yea, you "raise" a kid who goes around in a group of 2 15 year olds and a 14 year old, with gun(s), planning to rob people in the Quarter, and you might be eligible for a reward? I think not.

(Fortunately, I did NOT hear that the Mother's were ASKING for the reward, but some people think they should be offered it)

OK, so it was revealed today that the mother of the octuplets already had 6 children - two of those are twins. She's 33 year old.

Who the HELL decided she needed fertility treatment? (I could really go on a rant right now, but I'll refrain.)

LA Times Story. (http://www.latimes.com/news/la-me-octuplets30-2009jan30,0,6314319.story?track=rss)

[Deebs]

Who the HELL decided she needed fertility treatment? (I could really go on a rant right now, but I'll refrain.)

Unbelievable. I'd rant, but I am at a loss for words.

[Disneyphile]

And, some organizations or private donors will "honor" her by supplying them with a big house and all the needs for the children, and some college will probably even grant them all scholarships. :rolleyes:

I know this is kinda fascist, but I don't think artificial fertility methods/drugs should be available until all unwanted children have been adopted. If nature wants you to have kids, then you would, but if you can't for some reason, then why not just adopt?

[Betty]

And she's living at home with her Mom - correct?

Is there any mention of a Dad?

Or is she now the single mom of 14?

[Kevy Baby]

And she's living at home with her Mom - correct?I am holding back on this detail as the LA Times story says "Neighbors said she and her six children ... live there with her mother." That could be that Mom lives with her and 'father of the children.'

Is there any mention of a Dad?

Or is she now the single mom of 14?Again from the story "... noting that her daughter's father is going back to Iraq, where neighbors said he worked as a contractor, to help support the expanded family."

But yeah, this story makes my blood boil.



ETA: in reading the story more closely, the person who said "... noting that her daughter's father is going back to Iraq..." is the new Mom's Mother: the new babies' Grandmother.

So who knows what the fvck is going on.

[Alex]

If she can care for the kids to a sufficient minimum level then I don't care one way or the other.

Is it less than ideal? Surely. But kids are raised in all kinds of less than ideal ways all the time (and many that would be well defended).

I'm curious why standard implantation methods for a woman her age weren't used, but it is just curiosity.

[SzczerbiakManiac]

[Alex]

I wonder if the ruptured implant really was "repaired" or if it was replaced. I'm only willing to rely on duct tape for so much.

[Betty]

Bewbies.

Tom Leykis was ranting about that guy yesterday... saying it was very wrong of him to do - but people should be careful how far they push others - everyone has a snapping point eventually. And then they come stab you and try to steal your tits.

[Drince88]

With the Mom of octuplets - they said that she received counseling about the risks of carrying 7 babies to term, and she refused selective abortion. I respect her right to make THAT decision, but WHAT fertility clinic implanted that many embryos in the FIRST place without going through extensive counseling. I was under the impression that they would implant fewer embryos if you weren't willing to go through selective abortion.

The fact that there's been NO mention of a fertility clinic makes me think they KNOW they messed up. I mean, what clinic doesn't make sure a mother gets prenatal care in her first trimester? (Or maybe they did, but it didn't come from the place that delivered the babies)

And where the heck is Daddy?!

[Ghoulish Delight]

With the Mom of octuplets - they said that she received counseling about the risks of carrying 7 babies to term, and she refused selective abortion. I respect her right to make THAT decision, but WHAT fertility clinic implanted that many embryos in the FIRST place without going through extensive counseling. I was under the impression that they would implant fewer embryos if you weren't willing to go through selective abortion. It's unlikely that they were implanted.

The deal with these super-multi-pregnancies is that it's generally people who do step 1 of fertility (hormone injections to promote follicle growth), but, for whatever reason, fail to stick to the rest of the procedure. It's impossible to predict exactly how much follicle growth will result from an injection, so you're supposed to get blood work done to monitor it. If too many follicles are detected, a responsible doctor will either tell them to hold off on trying to conceive until the next cycle when they can reduce the hormone dose, or they'll harvest eggs for invetro. But if they just got the hormone injection and went ahead and conceived without checking, or ignoring the advice to wait until next cycle....... (I read a good article yesterday).

[Drince88]

It's unlikely that they were implanted.

THAT makes sense. (Well, as much sense as a mother of 6 getting step one of the process can be)

[Not Afraid]

I don't understand WHY a 33 year old with 6 children already would NEED fertility treatments in the first place? Her most recent birth was twins that are only 2 years old. She obviously doesn't have a problem conceiving.

I wonder about her real motives. Publicity? Guiness Book? Charity? Or, maybe it's just stupidity.

[Betty]

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/01/30/earlyshow/health/main4764432.shtml

Apparently she's abandoned her home and applied for bankruptcy.

I read in another article she was implanted with 8 and they all "took".

[Disneyphile]

Greeeeeeat.

So, looks like our tax dollars will be helping her out after all. :rolleyes:

Although I would hate to see the babies suffer for her wrongs.

[Disneyphile]

Although I would hate to see the babies suffer for her wrongs.Then, I have no problem if they receive as much as orphaned or needy children... but nothing more than that.

[Alex]

But if she were judged a better person they would be deserving of more than orphaned and needy children?

[Disneyphile]

But if she were judged a better person they would be deserving of more than orphaned and needy children?In my opinion, still no. (Coincides with my earlier post about fertility treatments vs. adoption.)

[Strangler Lewis]

I think that before we can make a fully informed decision about the morality of the situation, we need to know her skin color.

[Alex]

In my opinion, still no. (Coincides with my earlier post about fertility treatments vs. adoption.)

Ok, that's fine. Was thrown off by the "then" in your post which implied that otherwise your view would be different.

I've never understood society's desire to help only those people they see on the news. (Whether women who whelp litters while the foster mom taking in 8 kids gets no extra help or a specific dog that survives a fire while dozens more go unwanted at the same shelter or providing food to the homeless on one single day a year.)

[cirquelover]

I don't care if she's purple! If you can't afford the children you bring into this world then I guess you shouldn't have had them. It's not like this was a surprise to her. She obviously delibrately intended on having this many children.

I feel for the grandfather who is going back to work just to support her children.

[Strangler Lewis]

The woman is only a little whelper if she's black. If she's white, she's Bristol Palin x 8: a brave single mom with a healthy respect for life.

[Capt Jack]

nice bong. better than those old beer bottle ones ...erm...I used to see :rolleyes:

[SzczerbiakManiac]

Okay, I'm gonna say it. Did any of my mo bros see the picture of Michael Phelps putting his lips on that cylindrical object and immediately imagine him putting his lips on "something else"? Cause I sure did.

Umm, No.

No, not really.

Wait, better take a look at the photo.

Nope. Still no. Especially since he has his mouth inside the opening.

[Not Afraid]

No. The only thought I had was trying to figure out just how many hundreds of years ago it was that I last took a bong hit.

[Capt Jack]

uh...he said mo-bro


none the less...no, but I have had heter-bro mental images for other inane, banal pictures...so except for that specific one, yeah...been there.

[MouseWife]

What I thought was 'he is really taking that hit in really deeply'....looks like his chest is completely full of...air.....I guess 'cause the tube part is so long? Makes for a long hit.

I mean, just cause it looks like it would be.........

[Ghoulish Delight]

And none of the people who responded fall into the category of ZSZsZCSXXXserbiac's "mo bros". Unless Moonie's got something to tell us...

[Alex]

Not in the category but no to me either. But then I've never had that image from a woman with a bong either. The general mechanics of the mouth just aren't the same (unless mo-bros do it differently).

Moonie's not entirely sure what a "mo-bro" is but none the less, I don't think any announcements along that line will be forthcoming.

It means your parents recently had another son.

[Ghoulish Delight]

I see "Person caught trying to smuggle [pick your animal] in their pants" stories so often that it leads me to believe that there must be a healthy amount of people who DON'T get caught.

[Alex]

Yes there are. Exotic animal smuggling is a fairly good black market business and the mortality rate is high. My parents were involved in bird breeding for a while and it was surprisingly easy to find illegal animals available.

[Ghoulish Delight]

Oh, I know exotic animal smuggling is big trade. It just surprises me that "down that pants" is a common, effective practice.

While I would also have a "main" number (as inevitably, one will be getting a lot of "Jenny" calls), it is a great hook to get people to remember your company in what is a highly competitive and saturated market.

The mobile DJ company that I worked for here in Orange County is called "Fly By Night (http://flybynightdjs.com/)." It is a funny name that people remember. They have been in business for over 30 years and are well known (and they also provide great service to their clients!).

It would be very weird if I were the DJ at your wedding. Do you remember who your DJ was? Oddly, I remember most of the weddings by the location: where was your reception?

Ya think! It was in Mission Viejo in my parents back yard...

I just find it so odd that I remember receptions by the location: I have no idea why this is.

BTW: if you have a picture of the DJ and send it to me, I may be able to tell you who it was. I trained many of the DJs around that time.

More to the point, was he wearing a dress and frilly panties?They wouldn't let me where a dress to the receptions, but I always had the panties on underneath my tux.

[Alex]

I think they should have said:

We at Comcast are deeply sorry for what happened and though we'll do everything we can to prevent a repeat in the future it does appear that this event was the result of an intentional circumvention of our processes.

Under normal operating conditions what was shown during the Super Bowl would have included an extra charge of $8.95 and as a sign of our regret over this unfortunate incident Comcast Arizona has magnanimously decided not to charge viewers.

As for parents calling us to tell weepy stories of how their children have been scarred or otherwise irrevocably damaged, please shut up. If your children are so emotionally weak that 30 seconds of a penis does them damage, it is best that you found out now so that you can provide proper padding on any nearby hard surfaces and sharp corners.

Again, we apologize for this event and assure you that this weekends Fright Night Marathon of slasher films on Spike TV and the College Corruption Marathon of stoner comedies on Comedy Central will proceed without any untoward interruption. Fun for the whole family.

13 year old may be the Dad... or it could be one of these 2 to 8 other boys. (http://www.livenews.com.au/Articles/2009/02/15/Teens_come_forward_to_claim_they_fathered_13yearol d_Alfies_daughter_)
* Who's her daddy? Boys come forward to claim paternity

Two teenagers have come forward to claim paternity for the baby girl fathered by 13-year-old Alfie Patten, amid reports the child's mother Chantelle Steadman was sleeping with as many as eight boys.

So she was the inverse of the Octomom?

Versus just said Team Astana had three of their bikes stolen last night, including Lance Armstrong's time-trial bike.

WTF? Have a little respect, people. You know it's going to show up on Ebay, so if they care, they can find who has it and prosecute them, but dude.

Need to find a link.

Or craigslist, don't forget that site....

Having recently watched Six Pack (Kenny Roger's shining screen achievement), I suggest Armstrong check if any of his fellow racers recently picked up an unusually young support crew.

[Not Afraid]

Armstrong's bike is one of a kind, so it's not like it's going to be easy to sell.

[Ghoulish Delight]

At least they know what the getaway vehicle looks like.

Founder of Islamic TV station accused of beheading wife (http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/02/16/buffalo.beheading/index.html)

[cirquelover]

Wow, just wow.

[SzczerbiakManiac]

from the CNN article, "The founder of an Islamic television station in upstate New York aimed at countering Muslim stereotypes..."

So how's that stereotype countering working out for ya Muzzammil?

I wonder if this will turn out to be an "honor killing".

[Alex]

Sounds like it was a good old-fashioned American-style divorce-slaying.

[Moonliner]

Sounds like it was a good old-fashioned American-style divorce-slaying.

It sounds more like a mixing pot of cultures. Good old-fashioned American divorce-slaying combined with radical Muslim thinking.

People seem to think the big deal in this story (http://www.nypost.com/seven/02152009/news/nationalnews/a_grand_old_time_with_boy_toy_155261.htm) is that Madonna is about the same age as her new beau's grandma.

But hold on just a moment...the "kid" is 22. Madonna is 51. His grandma is 51? Oh, and his mom is "14 years younger than Madonna" and is pissed.

Let's see, 51-14=37. 37-22=15.

So, lady, you had your boy at age 15. And grandma had you at around that same age. At least your son's an adult!

Our favorite detail, though, is that he won't stop going to Walmart, because "their prices are too good to shop elsewhere."

Armstrong's bike has been returned, and one of his teammates' was recovered as well. He will be riding it tomorrow in Solvang. Hurray! Now to find the other two bikes, and spank in an un-fun way the little bugger who stole 'em.

I don't know about you, but I think I've just resolved to be perfectly happy with whatever height my chairs are manufactured at and not care so much about adjustability:

Boy Killed anally when office chair explodes (http://i.gizmodo.com/5157354/boy-killed-anally-when-office-chair-explodes)

:eek:

[SzczerbiakManiac]

The grammatical awkwardness of the headline makes me suspicious as to the validity of that story. But I suppose it is plausible.

[Alex]

The article GD links too is also suspicious of the validity of the story.

The original headline Gizmodo got its story from is "Boy Killed By Anal Penetrating Chair." Not sure that is much better, grammatically.
