My four sons are fairly embarrassed by it, and my three ex-wives all found me dull; not in the bedroom, but in every other part of the house. But I think women like dull men; when their husbands say they’re going to the shed to make a matchstick model of Winchester Cathedral, they don’t have to wonder if they’re actually up to something else.

Seems like a strong candidate for selection bias since the samples are submitted by members of the public, right? So there's a higher likelihood of samples being from people that were like "yo this ain't poo poo, send some in to get tested"

Channel 4 has bought a painting by Adolf Hitler and will allow a studio audience to decide whether Jimmy Carr should burn it with a flamethrower.

...

Ian Katz, Channel 4’s director of programming, confirmed that if the studio audience chose to save the painting by Hitler it would not hang in the Channel 4 boardroom but would be “appropriately” disposed of.

He suggested that if Channel 4 was privatised by the government, then a for-profit owner would be unlikely to take such risks: “This kind of programming is difficult and expensive. And probably not a rational, commercial approach.”

I've seen Doug Stanhope live a couple of times. The first time I saw him, he had a bit about how all drugs should be legalized.

Guessing this was ultimately unsuccessful from the headline.

quote:

"After the crash, the defendant ran away from the scene without providing information such as a driver's license, insurance, or vehicle registration," one of the responding deputies wrote in the official report. "The defendant was...described as having taken his clothes off and running away in just his underwear."

Search dogs were brought to the scene to search for the fleeing man. Eventually, he was located under strange conditions: hiding approximately one mile into a nearby swamp, wearing nothing but a blue pair of boxers. After he was found, the suspect cooperated with deputies, complied with his arrest, and was treated for minor injuries.
good ol' Florida Man.

Not inaccurate to think like he was avoiding Predators, I suppose.
