Here’s a funny Free Republic thread about a diver’s ghost story. Keep an eye out for Tourist Guy.

And I don’t think it’s at all unexplainable why one might be apprehensive about a cave dive. You’d be kind of nuts not to be.

Nowak’s attorney says she wasn’t wearing diapers.

What difference does it make? I guess maybe there’s a tiny chance that this could put a jury over the edge, but it doesn’t seem very relevant to me. But maybe NASA PAO will be slightly relieved.

Maybe the theory is that if the diapers don’t fit, you must acquit.

That great philosopher, Hank Hill, once said something to the effect that “tattoos and piercings are a great societal advance. They let you know, at a glance, that some folks just aren’t right.”

Here’s an excellent example of his wisdom.

There seems to be a small epidemic of people driving in their birthday suits. You may or may not be astonished to learn that in at least one case, alcohol was involved.

Dang.

The breast-feeding fatwa has been withdrawn. No milk for me!

Thinking back over the years, I can think of some, in fact many women of which this would be a suitable condition of co-working with them. But not all of them, no, not all.

Just in case you thought that some tenets of Islam weren’t wacky enough. I should note though, that the story indicates that it’s a controversial issue, even within Islam.

Only semi-related, but LGF also has the story on the effects of Nancy’s excellent Damascus adventure on Syrian dissidents. Hint: it ain’t pretty:

Mr. al-Bunni is a slight, nervous-looking man, a tireless polymath who, aside from his work defending scores of political prisoners, has helped to found a center offering training in human rights, and has drafted a new constitution for Syria. Last year, he invited a handful of foreign reporters to his home to show them his proposed new constitution, and waved his hands excitedly as he outlined his ideas about what a democratic transition in Syria might look like, how potential power-sharing arguments among Syria

It’s not just military funerals any more. The excrement in human form who worship the vile Fred Phelps will be protesting Jerry Falwell’s funeral. Apparently he wasn’t hateful enough for them.

I sure wouldn’t protest their funerals. I’d celebrate them.

Why do Corner permalinks have such loooooonnnngggg URLs? Here’s the one for Derb’s latest “Darwinism” post:

Do you want to ensure uniqueness of them to the end of history? If so, that’s real farsightedness. By my count, with that “q=whatever” parameter, you can provide 62^43rd unique post IDs (upper/lower case plus the ten digits, with 43 characters). We know you Corner guys (and gals) can be prolific, but consider that this may be overkill. Unless there’s something going on that requires a unique fixed field length up front, it is possible to do it by simply going sequential (I’m only up to 9000 or so on my blog). I haven’t done the math, but I suspect that with your scheme, you could assign an ID to every particle in the known universe, with more than a few left over. The sun would start to dim long before you got out to even the twentieth field for your post IDs.
