In Class With Floyd — Humanities

I’ve just put in my book order for Summer school and as the Spring semester is about to begin its slow descent towards graduation in about 5 weeks I’m already thinking a head a bit to Summer session. I’ve got 5 courses this summer which is more than usual but whatever allows my wife to [...]

I Am Intentionally Avoiding the Obvious Vodka Reference

Mike tried this with cotton balls in his nose and damn near suffocated. It seems German teens are more idiotic innovative:

Police in the Baden-Württemburg city of Tuttlingen responded Tuesday to growing online chatter among teenagers that they could become intoxicated using the vodka tampons without having alcohol on their breath.

This is not [...]

It Was 30 Years Ago Today…

30 years ago today Secret Service Agent Tim McCarthy (far right, striped tie) used his body to stop an assassin’s bullet and save President Ronald Reagan’s life… Here’s a nice piece on McCarthy from The Los Angeles Times:

And on that day, McCarthy became the most famous Secret Service agent alive.

It’s People! Pepsi Is Made Out Of People!

UPDATE: Ok… apparently K.Lo was wrong (and thus me to a much much lesser extent because I mostly went for the cheap laugh) …. here’s the link to a report on the science between this and the link Mr. Bishop’s comment to her original post. All that being said… I love the Soylent Green title [...]

From the TV Trailer Park: Breaking In

One of these days, Christian Slater’s gonna get a show which stays on the air for more than a season. With cautious optimism, hope this is it. If the “Happy Madison Production” scares you off, get back to me when Adam Sandler has yet another movie top $100 million and you don’t.

I’m Not Quite Dead!

I ran across a great article this morning in the Spring edition of Stanford Medicine. In my criminal law class we discuss a case from New York in the 1980s called People v. Eulo in which the New York court held that death occurs when the brain irreversibly ceases to function. The old common [...]

Better Late Than Never

XBradTC reminds everyone that yesterday was the 100th Anniversary of the US Army’s adoption of the 1911 Colt…where would America be without Colt Firearms?

BTW Colt Firearms celebrated it’s 175th Anniversary on 5 MAR 11. Yeah, that was all over the news wasn’t it?

Jethro Tull — agriculturist — was born in Basilden, England this date in 1674. Yeah… he wasn’t hard rock either.

Sleeping With the Enemy

From tomorrow’s UK Daily Telegraph:

Abdel-Hakim al-Hasidi, the Libyan rebel leader, has said jihadists who fought against allied troops in Iraq are on the front lines of the battle against Muammar Gaddafi’s regime.

In an interview with the Italian newspaper Il Sole 24 Ore, Mr al-Hasidi admitted that he had recruited “around 25″ men [...]

From the Trailer Park — The Big Bang

Not a red band trailer but slightly NSFW. This could either blow big chunks or be exceedingly cool. Great cast… Antonio Banderas, William Fichtner, Sam Elliott and Delroy Lindo (and we have a James Van Der Beek sighting and Snoop Dogg). It’s trippy to be sure.
