Go get 2 big mirrors.
Put them opposite one another.
Stand between them and look into one.
Seems to go on forever, right?
That's sort of the feeling I get when I read articles like this.

Nature doesn't play favorites.
Some Dinosaur saw something like this once, but a lot bigger:
This was a meteor in Edmonton, Ontario. I hear they're looking for pieces of it now.
It's a really big universe out there. Full of all sorts of things. Sleep tight.
(hat tip to Ace.)

This here, is what you call a Freudian slip.
Yup, just keep talking. It's most instructive.
"My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. I don't understand it," she said, dismissing calls to drop out.

Clever lads.
If this isn't proof that the UK is overrun with surveillance cameras, I don't know what is.
What's also telling is that all those cameras don't seem to be doing anything to reduce the crime rate, either. At least somebody has found a use for the things.

One of the most difficult things for a DIY label to do is to create an engaging music video on a shoestring budget. The Get Out Clause has found a novel way around this problem using a combination of Manchester’s state of the art CCTV system and a little knowledge of the Freedom of Information & Data Protection Act. The Get Out Clause set up at various locations around Manchester city centre where they knew there would be CCTV coverage and performed their new single Paper. The footage was then requested under the Freedom of Information & Data Protection Acts and a video was cut together in their home studio.

LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!!
Pretty much has to be seen to be believed. I think its a joke, but YMMV.

UPDATE:
So, it appears that video was not a joke, but is a guy. A guy named Chris Cocker. I am not making this up. These are the sorts of things you simply can't make up.
Anyway, Seth Green says to LEAVE CHRIS COCKER ALONE!! That definitely is a joke. Heh. Points for the product placement.

Your tax dollars at work:
What is Applied Research Laboratories doing, and why do they need $928 million dollars to do it with?
I'm just curious. Very curious.
When I get round to it, I'm going to put together a database of all these contracts, and what companies and where they are, and what congressional district they're in, and what contributions are being given by who to whom.
I want to see who is connected to who. I'm just curious, that's all.
