Post a news story, entertain me!
Tuesday, April 24th, 2007 - 3:12am
Well, we've had quite a few of these lately, so I figured we might want another aggregate thread. Sometimes a news story just doesn't warrant a whole thread. It's unlikely to spawn a meaningful discussion, and it's not very important. These can be funny, sad, morbid or just interesting. On the off chance that one of these sparks a real discussion of decent length, a new thread could be made. I'll start the bidding:
One woman's global warming conspiracy theory. Link.
Georgia Highschool has first multi-racial prom... in 2007. Link.
11 year-old stops speeding car, saves family. Link.
Famous mountaineer hurt from a fall at his house. Link.

What's most amusing about this story is that this nutter did it in a restraunt called Zizzi... which is the French equivalent of "willy".

Clerk prints extra lottery ticket. Can't sell it. Buys it herself. Guess what.
I wish it were time for Cheers. But it's not. It's time for vengeance!
That one's funny, especially where it took a while to realise that the ticket she accidently duplicated would also be a winner...

I think you pasted that wrong, Malkiel. That link goes to Mapquest. And no way a recent tinyurl would have just the number "6".

Regina Lynn is pretty amusing, all in all.
Beating WoW
I found it highly interesting, in that LoTRO has little chance due to being largely viewed as a poor WoW clone, despite the huge built in support. Conan, while it will likely be pretty awesome, also cuts out a huge chunk of potential subs by going after the 24+ male demographic, virtually ignoring others. SWG, as we all know, has been dead for a while. I don't think another revamp is going to help matters.
