Not to mention a bit of DVT. Of course all things should be in moderation (except the DVT) and that is why adjustable standing desks (something like this) are a lot better IMHO. At regular intervals just switch from sitting to standing at the touch of a button and carry on working - problem solved!
when you threaten someone at gunpoint (which is what an arrest is)
Not quite. Maybe in the US but in the UK the police do not usually carry guns so an arrest is not at all like that.. it is more a polite request to accompany the officers to the station for a nice cup of tea. If you don't resist you may also get biscuits. For dramatic effect the officers may sometimes say things like "You're nicked, sunshine" which typically elicits the response "It's a fair cop" from the cooperative arrestee.
Israel bombed Iranian nuclear facilities twice in the open. See operation Opera [wikipedia.org] for a start..
That was Iraq which was bombed and from that article it was even done with cooperation from Iran. Israel hasn't officially bombed Iran.. yet.
Are you implying that defense pacts are evil?
Not at all, just that such pacts and Iran's well documented past and present activities as regards proxy war makes the subject of this particular news item not exactly far fetched and in fact quite likely. Whether or not it is actually true is anyone's guess.
Anyway the whole situation with Syria/Iran and the whole region is dangerously close to spiralling out of control now and there seems to be no viable way out of it.
When? There were a few mysterious explosions and assassinations but I don't recall anything other than that.. Syria on the other hand was bombed, as was Iraq.
What I have not seen in this time is Iran retaliate, start a war, or massacre their allegedly sworn enemies.
Then you've been looking the wrong way - Iran has for a long time waged war through its proxies, Hezbollah for example being the main Iranian weapon which it has used many times to bomb Israel and Israeli/Jewish civilians around the world on numerous occasions. There is nothing innocent about Iran, they have plenty of blood on their hands and the extreme islamist regime there is plenty evil without any help from the west.
As for this allegedly intercepted message.. I don't know how true it is but it certainly does not surprise me since for a start it follows their usual method of getting their proxies to do the dirty work and secondly, perhaps more importantly - Iran and Syria have a number of widely publicised mutualself-defencepacts for just such a situation so Iran is now obligated to join the fight with Syria if/when the US attacks.
Fortunately not all countries in the region are that batshit crazy.. Turkish authorities recently cleared a bird suspected of spying for Israel.. such a shame the bird in question wasn't a Turkey as that would have made for some great headlines - "Turkey spies for Israel!" followed by "Turkey clears Turkey!" etc.
The general idea I think is that the police would post it on their official facebook page, assuming french police have one. I've (unfortunately) had experience with exactly this.. being on facebook didn't work though and the person is still missing. I found that most people just don't pay attention to such things, there are just too many faces in the crowds we all walk through every day.
Does indeed sound like it could be a blast.. not that I've ever tried LARPing but still, if they have dragons AND women (not bearded men in a medieval dress) then I am there.. maybe.
I downloaded the first few episodes of firefly back in the day after seeing it mentioned here many times and not finding it on any tv channel I had access to.. I liked the show and proceeded to buy the entire series and the movie on dvd from amazon. I will likely do the same with GoT eventually..
In other Game of Thrones news the residents of Tristan da Cunha (a very remote island in the south atlantic) have apparently adopted Dothraki as an official language and are big into GoT LARPing.. they also don't have HBO.
I guess the time to stage a coup without looking like total traitors would be a couple of months after this blows over.
Maybe that's the plan all along.. someone (or some group) somewhere is pushing young kim to make a fool of himself and his country so that he can then be deposed and NK can finally be rid of the old dynasty..
Seems like the obvious solution would involve herding them into the right place and then have a portly Texan setup a BBQ in front.. or maybe that bengal tiger from Life of Pi would do the trick.

Sitting just causes a fat butt

Free rent, pizza and hot fbi chicks to interrogate him.. beats the proverbial parents basement.
Glacier would seem to be the appropriate technology.. ;)
Don't go giving him any ideas like that! Also don't suggest banking..

Does he still count as "underground"?
Not since the duet with Kylie Minogue..
I will have to do one in celebration! As soon as I get back from my weekly meeting of the Peoples Front of Judea.. or was it the Peoples Judean Front?
and he'll have all the best lines!

Lockdown!
is the only tool real geeks need to write multi format documents.. and bbcode of course. ;)

On more than one occasion Israel has bombed Iran

It would keep him occupied for hours if I was going out - he'd still be sitting there watching the fish going back and forth
That's what he wanted you to think.. probably just heard you returning with his super canine ears and quickly stopped whatever mischief he was up to..

Or maybe they are all just nuts.
Does this mean there are actually females of the Jedi persuasion as well?! The mind boggles.
It's hard.
It would have to be..

Just a few days ago the new TV series "Vikings" started and they happened to feature a sunstone.. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2306299/
Well timed I'd say!
In case you missed it I'm sure it can be found at a certain viking torrent site.. ;) [which I don't condone of course]
A database of excellent pick up lines, and examples, preferably video demos, would be a plus
I would expect nothing less than pickup lines and test cases written only in the purest Perl.
Seems like the obvious solution would involve herding them into the right place and then have a portly Texan setup a BBQ in front.. or maybe that bengal tiger from Life of Pi would do the trick.
Not sure how it would affect milk yields though.
