You know very well that they didn't bother calling the NTSB for confirmation. This is 21st century journalism. :cmon:

Actually, the NTSB issued an apology (source: HuffPo) so that part of the story checks out. Still amazing that it got that far.

I thought the joke is that the sign is worded poorly so it seems like they're saying someone who WILL have diarrhea within 14 days of using the pool should not use the pool.

Yes you can. It reads "Keep Clear" if you're driving on the left. Therefore it's in the UK.

Yeah, that's what I got from the wording too.

Though I also think that "is having active diarrhea" also conjures up the image of someone trying to get into the pool while they're making GBS threads uncontrollably all over the deck.

Am I an idiot? The writing is upside down in the picture meaning if you were driving from where the picture is taken, toward the writing, on the left side of the road, the writing would still be upside down. It looks to me like any normal street in the states. Sorry for this terrible derail, but it's bugging me.

If you're driving on the left, and you're coming towards the camera on the same piece of road the KEEP CLEAR is on, it's the right way up. If you're on the left going the other way, well, obviously it's upside down. Also, that house is definitely UK council built.

e2: wait a minute what am I talking about? KEEP CLEAR is at the entrance of a driveway. You can't drive towards it on the left.

I think I would say to my daughters if they were to ask me this question... A shitpost is the greatest gift that you can give someone, the ultimate gift of giving and don't give it to someone lightly, that's what I would say.
From a recent Salon article about militant cops:

quote:

It can also be difficult to trace an IP address to a physical address, which can lead to yet more mistaken raids. An example of that problem manifested in one of the more bizarre botched raids in recent years. It took place in September 2006, when a SWAT team from the Bedford County sheriff’s department stormed the rural Virginia home of A. J. Nuckols, his wife, and their two children. Police had traced the IP address of someone trading child porn online to the Nuckols’ physical address. They had made a mistake. As if the shock of having his house invaded by a SWAT team wasn’t enough, Nuckols was in for another surprise. In a letter to the editor of the Chatham Star Review, he described the raid: “Men ran at me, dropped into shooting position, double-handed semi-automatic pistols pointed at me, and made me put my hands against my truck. I was held at gunpoint, searched, taunted, and led into the house. I had no idea what this was about. I was scared beyond description.”

He then looked up, and saw . . . former NBA star Shaquille O’Neal.

O’Neal, an aspiring lawman, had been made an “honorary deputy” with the department. Though he had no training as a SWAT officer, Shaq apparently had gone on several such raids with other police departments around the country. The thrill of bringing an untrained celebrity along apparently trumped the requirement that SWAT teams be staffed only with the most elite, most highly qualified and best-trained cops. According to Nuckols, O’Neal reached into Nuckols’s pickup, snatched up his (perfectly legal) rifle, and exclaimed, “We’ve got a gun!” O’Neal told Time that Nuckols’s description of the raid on his home was exaggerated. “It ain’t no story,” he said. “We did everything right, went to the judge, got a warrant. You know, they make it seem like we beat him up, and that never happened. We went in, talked to him, took some stuff, returned it—bada bam, bada bing.”

Incidentally, there have been other strange incidents of SWAT teams with star power. Matt Damon accompanied SWAT officers on several raids while preparing for the movie “The Departed.” And after police mistakenly shot and killed immigrant and father Ismael Mena on a raid in Denver in 1999, they revealed that Colorado Rockies first baseman Mike Lansing had gone along for the ride. Denver police added that it was fairly common to take sports stars on drug raids.
