Don't swim in lakes or your brain will be the lunch of a brain-eating amoeba

It seems we don't need Star Trek to tell us horror stories of unknown species that will kill us in an unimaginable way. So, you wanna get your brain eaten by a Naegleria fowleri and die as a vegetable, huh? Go swim in Florida, Texas, Arizona or Australia lakes.

Mark Benton & Chris O'Dowd

I saw a commercial of Northern Lights on telly and I thought they'd have to be brothers at least. Well, they aren't. It's okay....someone else came to think of it, too. Read Jah Jah Dub's comment.
So, have you seen The IT Crowd? The series has now started its second season. Hilarious. Can't wait for the next episode. "Clicking, doubleclicking....mouse....keyboard....". Wait! I'll find the whole quote somewhere, I'm bad at remembering those. So here:

[Denholm is putting Jen in IT because she said on her CV that she had experience]

Jen: I did say that on my CV, yes. I have a lot of experience with the whole computer... thing. You know, e-mails, sending e-mails, receiving e-mails, deleting e-mails... I could go on.

Denholm: Do.

Jen: [after a pause] The Web. Using a mouse, mices, using mice. Clicking, double clicking. The computer screen, of course. The keyboard. The... bit that goes on the floor down there.

Denholm: The hard drive.

Jen: Correct.

Denholm: Well, you certainly seem to know your stuff! That's settled. I've got a good feeling about you Jen, and they need a new manager.

Jen: Fantastic! So, the people I'll be working with, what are they like?

Denholm: STANDARD NERDS!

Wrongfully charged and car impouded, The Erasmo Palacios Story

The story goes like this: Erasmo and Rocio Palacios were parked outside a Chicago restaurant when Rocio, the wife, saw a woman waving her hands. They thought she was in distress. Little did they know. The woman leaned in to the passenger side where Rocio was and offered Erasmo sex for various prices. The couple laughed at the matter and saw she wasn't in distress after all. No laughing matter it seems, suddenly police car came and cuffed Erasmo for solicitation of a prostitute. Erasmo spent 8 hours in custody and was then released. Charges were dropped weeks later. Police report, however, says that it was Erasmo who was looking to buy sex. There's no mention of his wife being there and daughter who . Also, officers impounded Palacios's car and threatened to arrest Rocio and their daughter if they tried to stop them. Unbelievable as it seems, the city wants 4700 dollars for towing and storage fees before they return the vehicle. Now, Erasmo is understandably suing the city and the officers involved. Hope he wins.
