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.

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.

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.

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?
