Things to Worry About
The Worcester's buttonquail was supposed to be extinct, but a recent photo turned up of a live one in the Philippines, so it wasn't extinct (but now it is because that one was cluelessly sold for food at a poultry market). National Geographic
Update: Crazy ol' Jonathan Lee Riches, the federal inmate who is positively the looniest serial litigator in all of America's hoosegows, just filed again, claiming that many of his problems (which are legion) stem from his addiction to NASCAR (which is NASCAR's fault). Nashville City Paper /// Riches's Wikipedia entry
A gay Heathrow airport security guard won £62.5k ($89k) because his female boss constantly dissed his sexuality, why, once even shaking her breasts at him! Daily Mail
Least Competent Police: In Ireland, cops were quite alarmed about a scofflaw Polish motorist with about 50 accumulated tickets, until they realized that it was really several Polish motorists who were ticketed, and the reason the same name was reported is that Irish cops were copying "Prawo Jazdy" off the Polish license, thinking t was the guy's name, but it was just "driver's license" in Polish. Reuters via Yahoo
Hoax Alert: The reporter for that fabulous story in this space on Wednesday (about the Chinese guy with a wife and five gals on the side) got fired yesterday for plagiarism, having lifted the story from a magazine, and his editor is investigating whether it's a true plagiarized story or a made-up plagiarized story. People's Daily (Beijing)
Irony from a certain age: Years ago, Maytag appliances were advertised as extremely low-maintenance (The Maytag repairman was "the loneliest man in town"), so now comes Maytag repairman Darin French of Incline Village, Nev., convicted yesterday of a scheme of overbilling the company for warranty work on that low-maintenance stuff.

Worcester's buttonquail If only one existed then extinction was ensured unless the bird was parthenogenetic.
Security Guard Sounds a lot like titty envy to me. Maybe some of that socialized medicine should have given him triple Ks.
Prawo Jazdy Irish vs Pollack. There's a joke in there somewhere.
Hoax Alert Oh, please let it be true! There has to be some man out there that can pleasure 5 women enough to make one want to kill him for rejecting here. We need a real life hero!

Worchester buttonquail: Aren't the endangered or extinct species the best tasting? I thought that was why scientists were trying to clone wooly mammoths from fossil DNA.
Jonathan Lee Riches - NASCAR may be guilty of a lot of things, but not this guy's problems
Maytag Repairman - the real irony is that nobody caught wind of it until Maytag was bought out by Whirlpool, and the Whirlpool investigators were more suspicious of all the claims than the company the advertises as being low maintenance.

I wouldn't be whining about being single if I looked like that!
Posted by Jules in Connecticut on 02/20/09 at 01:46 PM
I googled (images) myself, nothing comes up, which is probably a good thing! 😊
Posted by Jules in Connecticut on 02/20/09 at 01:47 PM
Jules, you don't have to google yourself. I'd be happy to do that for you.

Yer link is busted, Expat. Don't tease us about pictures of Jules unless you can provide.

Y'all can make friends with me on facebook if you want to see, but I assure you it's nothing like what Expat found so don't get too dissapointed. Course it's not what I posted either so there's a plus 😊

Facebook's server is probably reaching maximum capacity right about now.
Posted by Madd Maxx on 02/20/09 at 02:15 PM
So instead of being slashdotted or farked, facebook's servers are being weirded?
Posted by Viceman48 on 02/20/09 at 04:57 PM
weirded universally :gulp:
