It's amazing how much information they put into the patches. It's hard to conceal something once it's in orbit and you can get a good idea of the mass of any given payload from Wikipedia, so while it remains classified there's a lot of detail in some of them that tells you exactly what they're launching.

I'm told that if one is wearing a dress, there aren't a lot of great places to hide it. If they are wearing a skirt or something belted, they can clip it back there. If not, there's a garter thing you use.
Generally if a woman is wearing a dress and needs a mic, you just clip it on the back of her dress and run the wire over her shoulder to her collar. You can get creative, but for live events it's just one of those things you have to do if you want people to be able to hear a presenter.

The theory I read on another site is that everyone involved in the story was really high. The store employees got super paranoid and hid, and then the customer spent 30 minutes wandering around the empty store looking for cheese. It starts to make sense in that context.

I made this mistake with a Miata once. I thought it would be funny if I was the one to drive it into the garage, so I hopped in. My chin was at the top of the windshield, and after discovering that I was stuck, my coworkers had to loop a rope around me while another gently pried the seat back with a broom to get me out.

Probably the Mecca time thing.

Also, which direction do Muslims in space pray?

Man arrested after altercation with 5-year-old at Shelton daycare

During the event, one of the children playfully took 33-year-old Lance Churchill’s card that he had received from his son and ran around the room with it, according to police.

Police say Churchill reacted by chasing the child and picking him up over his head. Officials say once the 6’4″, 270-pound man put the child down, he pinned the child to the ground and began to scream at him in front of the other children.

The incident was ended when daycare staff ripped the child away from Churchill and called the police.

Once police arrived, Churchill wanted the 5-year-old boy arrested.

Cast doubt on the integrity of public health system, and what are those same dumb, paranoid drug users going to do when they get a boil water alert? What are they going to do when the school sends home a notice that there is a meningitis outbreak and all the kids need to get an emergency vaccination?

It's weird how the buzz in the news about the missing CDC guy is all "I can't believe such a successful guy would just walk away like that" when all I can think is he died in an alleyway somewhere and there's going to be an ebola outbreak at a homeless shelter after someone nicked his wallet.

I mean maybe I'm the weird one but was no one worried he managed to catch something at his job?
It's a concern, but so many people are going quickly from healthy to dead from the flu this year that it would be my first guess.
