More Things to Worry About
Recurring Theme: A parent (actually, her insurance) has to pay $2.5m after two guys, 19 and 22, visited her daughters and drank beer, and the older guy then drove his pal home and lost control of the car, paralyzing the pal (but unlike other pay-out cases, this parent didn't serve the beer and didn't even know about it). Chicago Tribune
Editor's headline-mongering: OK, Leeuwarden, Netherlands, apparently did in fact lose its "pornography archive," as the AP reported, but, c'mon, it was just one box of stuff. (Bonus: There are jobs in the librarian profession for porn fanatics!) Associated Press via Charlotte Observer
The latest depressing Pentagon stat: From June 2004-June 2008, we lost track of 220,000 weapons sent to Afghanistan. BBC News
Allahmanamjad Barbel, 21, walked into the police station in Barnstable, Mass., Tuesday with a handcuff on, claiming it was part of some silly game, and would they get it off for him, and so they got it off, but then ran his name and found several outstanding warrants, and so they cuffed him. Associated Press via Yahoo
Thomas Teague, 26, used to be an assistant DA in Brownsville, Tex., so it was odd that he's the one they identified as leaving a deposit reflective of poor toilet-training on a bench in front of an IHOP, "in plain view of the customers." The Monitor (McAllen)
Recurring Theme: Once again, there was a solemn marriage in India for the purpose of bringing prosperity to a village, but it wasn't one of those, y'know, woman and a goat things but rather two trees (a male banyan and a female peepal, 'cause same-sex marriage would be an abomination). The Times of India

Insurance: The only thing I can figure is that the mom was home at the time. I hate it though. All of them were adults.
Porn Archive: That's it, I need to hit Tampa up to start one of these. I would be a great porn librarian!!!! I know a ridiculous amount about porn, especially old and ancient stuff.
IHOP: He resigned earlier in the day for personal reasons, then later that night did this. What on earth went wrong in his life???

Insurance Quoth the bard: First, kill all the lawyers". You can hardly blame the dude for riding the legal system that exists. Change the @#$#$@$ laws and life may just get cheaper.
