Now the driver of the Lamborghini claimed to police that he suffered a mechanical failure, and that his car was overheating prior to the crash. I guess he wasn't aware that there was another car with a dashcam right behind him, recording what actually took place? Ooh, bad luck, can't get away with excuses like that these days. He's been given a fine, for racing on the streets. :LMAO:

If anyone is ever playing Minesweeper for personal best times, make sure you don't have two or more windows of the app open at the same time. The statistics won't update.
Either that, or the app isn't programed to store values less than 50 seconds for the 40 mine Intermediate level. I completed a game in 49 seconds recently, but the stats didn't update:

I might have shaved a second or two off that 49 second time, if I hadn't been on the kush at the time.

I get the feeling that that off-duty police officer is a little too enthusiastically tackling that woman. It's like as if he's been waiting all of his life to take someone down and that was his chance. Might also explain the problem that the police in the States are having with their image, as being too trigger-happy.:don'twantto-see:/

That's not a shark, that's a submarine!
When your grandfather is Jacques-Yves Cousteau, and you spent your childhood on the fabled research vessel Calypso, perhaps it’s not surprising that you started scuba diving at age 4. Or that you piloted a 14-foot shark-shaped submarine of your own dreamt-up design, swimming among great whites for “Mind of the Demon,” a CBS television special. Or most recently, that you spent a month on the seafloor in the NOAA Aquarius Reef Base off Key Largo, Florida. This is the life of filmmaker and ocean explorer Fabien Cousteau.

Around 1:00 PM today, (January 2. '15), while waiting for the Dundas street car, I was propositioned by a transvestite hooker. I was just minding my own business, stepping out a bit into the parking lane, to see if I could see the car approaching Parliament. I hear clicking high heels, and turn my head. The conversation:
He: 'Hi!".
Me: "Hi.".
He: "Wanna date?".
Me: "I'm waiting for my street car.".
He: "Blow job?"
Me: "No."
He "Can I have ten bucks?".
Me: "No.".
He walked east.
If "He" was any of the guys on this board, feel free to post my physical description.

Bet it went more like this:
He: Hi!
bob: Hi!
He: "Wanna Date?"
bob: Did you know that dating as an institution is a relatively recent phenomenon which has mainly emerged in the last few centuries. From the standpoint of anthropology and sociology, dating is linked with other institutions such as marriage and the family which have also been changing rapidly and which have been subject to many forces, including advances in technology and medicine. As humans have evolved from hunter-gatherers into civilized societies and more recently into modern societies, there have been substantial changes in the relationship between men and women, with perhaps one of a few remaining biological constants being that both adult women and men must have sexual intercourse for human procreation to happen. Humans have been compared to other species in terms of sexual behavior. Neurobiologist Robert Sapolsky constructed a reproductive spectrum with opposite poles being tournament species, in which males compete fiercely for reproductive privileges with females, and pair bond arrangements, in which a male and female will bond for life. According to Sapolsky, humans are somewhat in the middle of this spectrum, in the sense that humans form pair bonds, but there is the possibility of cheating or changing partners.These species-particular behavior patterns provide a context for aspects of human reproduction, including dating. However, one particularity of the human species is that pair bonds are often formed without necessarily having the intention of reproduction. In modern times, emphasis on the institution of marriage, generally described as a male-female bond, has obscured pair bonds formed by same-sex and transsexual couples, and that many heterosexual couples also bond for life without offspring, or that often pairs that do have offspring separate. Thus, the concept of marriage is changing widely in many countries. Historically, marriages in most societies were arranged by parents and older relatives with the goal not being love but legacy and "economic stability and political alliances", according to anthropologists. Accordingly, there was little need for a temporary trial period such as dating before a permanent community-recognized union was formed between a man and a woman. While pair-bonds of varying forms were recognized by most societies as acceptable social arrangements, marriage was reserved for heterosexual pairings and had a transactional nature, where wives were in many cases a form of property being exchanged between father and husband, and who would have to serve the function of reproduction. Communities exerted pressure on people to form pair-bonds in places such as Europe; in China, society "demanded people get married before having a sexual relationship"and many societies found that some formally recognized bond between a man and a woman was the best way of rearing and educating children as well as helping to avoid conflicts and misunderstandings regarding competition for mates. Romeo and Juliet dated, but it did not end well. Generally, during much of recorded history of humans in civilization, and into the Middle Ages in Europe, weddings were seen as business arrangements between families, while romance was something that happened outside of marriage discreetly, such as covert meetings.The 12th-century book The Art of Courtly Love advised that "True love can have no place between husband and wife." According to one view, clandestine meetings between men and women, generally outside of marriage or before marriage, were the precursors to today's dating.From about 1700 a worldwide movement perhaps described as the "empowerment of the individual" took hold, leading to the emancipation of women and the equality of individuals. Men and women became more equal politically, financially, and socially in many nations. Women won the right to vote and own property and receive equal treatment by the law, and these changes had profound impacts on the relationships between men and women. Parental influence declined. In many societies, individuals could decide - on their own - whether they should marry, whom they should marry, and when they should marry. A few centuries ago, dating was sometimes described as a "courtship ritual where young women entertained gentleman callers, usually in the home, under the watchful eye of a chaperone" but increasingly, in many Western countries, it became a self-initiated activity with two young people going out as a couple in public together. Still, dating varies considerably by nation, custom, religious upbringing, technology, and social class, and important exceptions with regards to individual freedoms remain as many countries today still practice arranged marriages, request dowries, and forbid same-sex pairings. Although in many countries, movies, meals, and meeting in coffeehouses and other places is now popular, as are advice books suggesting various strategies for men and women, in other parts of the world, such as in South Asia and many parts of the Middle East, being alone in public as a couple with another person is not only frowned upon but can even lead to either person being socially ostracized. In the twentieth century, dating was sometimes seen as a precursor to marriage but it could also be considered as an end-in-itself, that is, an informal social activity akin to friendship. It generally happened in that portion of a person's life before the age of marriage but as marriage became less permanent with the advent of divorce, dating could happen at other times in peoples lives as well. People became more mobile. Rapidly developing technology played a huge role: new communication technology such as the telephone, internet, and text messaging enabled dates to be arranged without face-to-face contact. Cars extended the range of dating as well as enabled back-seat sexual exploration. In the mid-twentieth century, the advent of birth control as well as safer procedures for abortion changed the equation considerably, and there was less pressure to marry as a means for satisfying sexual urges. New types of relationships formed; it was possible for people to live together without marrying and without having to deal with children. Information about human sexuality grew, and with it an acceptance of all types of sexual orientations is becoming more common. Today, the institution of dating continues to evolve at a rapid rate with new possibilities and choices opening up. Social rules regarding dating vary considerably according to variables such as country, social class, religion, age, sexual orientation and gender. Behavior patterns are generally unwritten and constantly changing. There are considerable differences between social and personal values. Each culture has particular patterns which determine such choices as whether the man asks the woman out, where people might meet, whether kissing is acceptable on a first date, the substance of conversation, who should pay for meals or entertainment whether splitting expenses is allowed. Among the Karen people in Burma and Thailand, women are expected to write love poetry and give gifts to win over the man. Since dating can be a stressful situation, there is the possibility of humor to try to reduce tensions. For example, director Blake Edwards wanted to date singing star Julie Andrews, and he joked in parties about her persona by saying that her "endlessly cheerful governess" image from movies such as Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music gave her the image of possibly having "lilacs for pubic hair"; Andrews appreciated his humor, sent him lilacs, dated him and later married him, and the couple stayed together for 41 years until his death in 2010.

Another goldfish needed surgery - because it was constipated. :Thatwas-bad:
A goldfish lover from Norfolk paid hundreds of pounds in vets' fees when his pet became constipated.
The owner took his ailing fish to Toll Barn Veterinary Centre in North Walsham where vets told him it was constipated and an operation would cost about £300.
Vet Faye Bethell used anaesthetised water to knock out the goldfish before removing the blockages.
"At the end of the day they're all pets and everybody does have a commitment to their pet," Miss Bethell said.
"[The goldfish] was constipated because he had a lump blocking his bottom, rather than because of his diet or any other reason," she said.

How can you justify spending hundreds of dollars on a 99 cent pet? :unknw:
