Is that the one where he's having the story written about his life? That was supposed to be funny I thought.
I hear he's supposed to star in "A Confederacy of Dunces" soon, which is still somewhat of a comic story but based on a very excellent novel.
Why do we celebrate St Patricks Day here? I have nothing against the irish, but why do we only celebrate the patron saint of one country?
People like booze.
Because 99% (something like that) of America is of Irish descent.
Actually, I agree with Vinny.
I don't get why people have favorite numbers. That makes no sense to me.
In sports or in general? What about lucky numbers (or do you consider those the same)?Quote:

Yeah, me either. I get the favorite number stuff for an athelete that wears it. I do remember having a favorite number in elementary school and I have no idea why kids did that.
Yes. If it was supposed to be funny... well... it wasn't, save for a few parts.Quote:

GALVESTON, Texas (AP) -- A jury has sentenced a young father to 25 years in prison for severely burning his infant daughter when he put her in a microwave and turned it on for up to 20 seconds.
Jurors deliberated for 6½ hours over two days before sentencing Joshua Mauldin Wednesday.
They also fined him $10,000.
The jury rejected Mauldin's claims he was insane when he stuffed his daughter Ana, then 2 months old, in the microwave and convicted him of felony injury to a child.
Prosecutors had asked for a life sentence.
Mauldin's attorney asked jurors to consider Mauldin's long history of mental illness and give him probation so he could be treated outside priso
On Tuesday, the jury convicted Mauldin, 20, of felony injury to a child, dismissing his claim he was having a psychotic episode when he put his then-2-month-old daughter in a Galveston hotel microwave in May 2007.

KPRC: Local coverage
Mauldin had pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. The conviction came after about four hours of deliberations, which began Monday afternoon.
Galveston County prosecutor Xochitl Vandiver asked jurors to give Mauldin a life sentence because Mauldin had given his daughter a life sentence as well -- one of physical and emotional scars.
Mauldin at first told police his daughter had been severely sunburned, later changing his story and saying he had accidentally spilled hot water on her while making coffee.
Ana suffered second- and third-degree burns to her left ear, cheek, hand and shoulder and required two skin grafts after being in the microwave. Part of her left ear had to be amputated.
"She will always for the rest of her life be reminded just by looking in a mirror," Vandiver said.
Prosecutors said Mauldin was angry that he was in a loveless marriage and took it out on his daughter. Just before putting her in the microwave, Mauldin had punched the baby and put her in the hotel-room safe and refrigerator.
They also said Mauldin had a history of violence and of lying about being mentally ill to get out of trouble.
But Mauldin's defense attorney, Sam Cammack III, said Mauldin has been wracked by mental illness since he was 10 years old. Cammack asked jurors to be merciful and give his client probation so he could continue receiving treatment.
Michael Fuller, a psychiatrist who examined Mauldin, earlier testified he could not conclude Mauldin was insane at the time of the crime. However, Fuller on Tuesday said Mauldin was not violent and would benefit from receiving treatment outside of prison.
"Let's give the kid the rest of his life in prison for hurting his child when we can't explain what happened? Don't do that," Cammack told jurors.
During the trial's punishment phase, Mauldin's mother, Joanie, pleaded for mercy.
"There is no way someone in their right mind would do something like that," Joanie Mauldin told jurors, crying.
Heather Croxton, Ana's foster mother, testified the little girl's wounds still need to be cleaned every day, and that she screams during the painful process. The little girl, who lives with Croxton and her family in College Station, has physical therapy five days a week.
Croxton said she hopes to adopt Ana, who turned 1 earlier this month. A trial to terminate the Mauldins' parental rights is scheduled for April
That's another article I wish I'd never read.
That's the type of person I wish they'd just throw out the "No cruel or unusual punishment" bill.
They should construct a large microwave and put him in it for 20 seconds and then up the time by 5 seconds each time until he dies. I'm dead serious.
I don't get how to position the concepts of "punishment", "cruel", and "unusual" in a way that makes sense a lot of the time.
Why Tyra Banks still has a show.
Her show sucks and she sucks my cock as well.
This is why I'm completely confused about what the justice system is supposed to do. Human beings are just not capable of coming up with a punishment appropriate to an act like that.
But at the same time, I think the way the media has trained us like dogs to react to articles like that is really frustrating. We're all supposed to go "he's a monster, he should be tortured...etc." It's kind of juvenile. Clearly things like this have happened and they're going to keep on happening, and getting self-righteous hasn't gotten us any closer to figuring out how to stop it.
I wouldn't say it's the media that has caused me to think he's a monster. I can see your point in other scenarios, but not this one. That guy is sick. That guy is worse than a monter. I wouldn't even call it being self-righteous. If self righteous is knowing the difference between right and hideously wrong, then I'm glad to be self-righteous.
You are right that we aren't close to figuring out how to deal with things like that, because this isn't even the worst thing that I've heard of. And that's sad.
I see a potential WTF debate topic...

How anyone ever came up with this...
Appendix removal via vagina.
That' just seems strange.
Historically, the way internal surgery worked was that you cut the shortest way to the injured part. This has the big problem of asking the body to heal from more than just the injured body part, leading to scars and complications. The less you cut, the less that can go wrong.
The field of laparoscopic surgery emerged, where the idea is to pump up the body with gas like a balloon, creating maximum separation and wiggle room between body parts. Then, make small incisions for instruments and cameras and such and worm your way through.
Of course, there's still extraneous cutting. And, kamming tools through small unnatural incisions has its limits. Research has focused on taking advantage of existing openings, like the mouth and the poopshoot. The vagina is yet another opening, one mostly exploited for "woman parts" surgeries and not generally.
Some hysterectomies are done through the Vag too nowadays.
I don't get the Beaumont hospital commecials at all. The ads seem designed to scare people from ever going near a hospital.
"Some"? "Nowadays"?Quote:

My dad had complications from an appendectomy. They had to go back in there two more times, once to clean out an infection, and another to get rid of some stitching that dissolved wrong and was causing problems.
I had an appendectomy in the 80s, it was definitely some major league hacking and sawing that had me off my feet for a bit.
David Eckstein.
It doesn't make sense that he's made it all the way to the majors. He looks like that kid on your Little League team that's too small, too frail and slightly retarded but out there because his dad wants him to be.
And somehow he gets hits and makes teams...

Wow, SDB posting about Guillen's move to third before it even happened. That's skill right there folks. Just goes to show, if you post enough, eventually something's going to come true.Quote:
