Husband Art Project: I predict in a month or two she'll be doing the "annulment art project"

Finding a Husband: That sounds an awful lot like the play/movie "The Shape of Things", where Rachel Weiss turns Paul Rudd into a stud for an art project.

Jury Duty: I'd say guilty, but he looks like Emo Philips.

Computer Thief Busted machines most likely will still have the hard drives in them and that is where all the personal and financial data is stored. This dude could be dumb like a fox.
What's Medicaid Could anyone give him a specific answer?
Jury Duty The guy looks doped up but is obviously guilty. Kennesaw, Ga, IIRC, is one of the cities in the US where it is law that every adult resident own and be trained how to use a gun and the crime rate is close to zero.

I worked in a computer shop a few years ago that got broken into one night. I had gutted a bunch of abandoned PCs (removed hard drives, Motherboards, Ram, etc.) and stacked the cases in a back stock room. That's what they took, every one of them.
