This actually happened to me once. I was climbing out of a girlfriend's bedroom window (she lived with her folks who didn't know) when a rookie cop trying to make it big jumps out of the bushes. He was scruffy, wearing plain clothes and had cotton gloves without fingers. He looked VERY sketchy! There were no police cars around and no other officers, nobody at all in fact. He did not have a radio. He approached me and told me he was arresting me for B&E.
He pulled his badge out and told me he was an officer. He told me to place my hands behind my back so he could handcuff me. Thoughts of being stuffed into the back of a windowless van and being but raped and tortured to death entered my mind. I told the guy "Fuck that" you are not a cop. He proceeded to beat me in the head with his magnum flashlight at which point I lost it and hit him with so many lefts he was begging for a right. I destroyed his face, two black eyes and a broken jaw! Quickly after subduing him, I ran back to the girl's house and pounded on the front door.
I called 911 and said there was someone impersonating an officer. About 20 minutes later the cop I beat up and his Sergeant were at the door. He told me "Sorry for my officer's misconduct." That asshole cop followed me around for weeks trying to bust me on some stupid traffic issues. I can only guess the shit he had to put up with in the office after this. I got away without any visible damage. Anyway let this be a lesson to you cops out there - don't think the badge is the be all and end all of power, and it definitely doesn't make you a tough guy.
In most places you don't need a license or permits of any kind for above ground pools, as they are seen as temporary structures. Just rent a hot tub for a day, do you need a permit for that? Only in ground pools require excavation, etc. so get an above ground pool and don't worry about it!
There are no robots down there. Robots use artificial intelligence to asses a situation and act accordingly. What we are using here are Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) controlled by a human. No robots. Sorry.
Actually I looked it up using 'TheSky' professional astronomy software which tells me that Betelgeuse is 427.47 ly or 131.0616 parsecs from Earth. Don't trust anything you read on the internet. Except this:)
This picture of the mouse-ear dates back to 2002 and nothing was done then - the current bill is based on fear caused by a Hollywood movie. Also James Cameron was called in from Hollywood by BP to fix the oil spill, a man with an 8th grade education. I would guess that these senators have an equal amount of education. Lets just fire all the scientists and head to Hollywood or better yet - the local high school to replace all these 'really important' people.

True, but it couldn't be an impact on Uranus since there was no dark debris coming from the impact site....

They could make handcuffs out of this, then my girlfriend will have a better reason to look for batteries in the dark...
a probe into it like we did with the moon today?
