Singapore Airlines would like to take this time to let you know that you should probably not have sex in one of its 12 private suites on its new, monstrous, A380 airplane. No, really. Apparently, it’s not soundproof, and they don’t want anyone to be offended by your manliness.

Dave Coustan is looking for suggestions for some thoughts, suggestions, or hate mail (okay, I added the hate mail idea) to what he’s calling the Hipster Domain Holding Page (that’s HDHP for short) – you know, the blank-ass parked page that you get from whatever domain registrar or host you’ve parked your domain at when you’ve been too lazy to put up something short and sweet in place of it. Yeah, that thing. So drop on by Dave’s and tell him what you think. Hell, it could be more fun that Custom 404 pages, right?
In what has to be one of the biggest misuses of the law I’ve seen in a really long time, Philadelphia judge Teresa Carr Deni decided that a rape case involving a prostitute should be bumped down to “theft of services,” since that’s the line of work that the young lady was involved in. Of course, that doesn’t appear to keep ind mind the fact that she was assaulted at gunpoint by four men after agreeing to have sex with two individuals for money.
Say what you want, but that’s just screwed up.
[Thanks, Alex!]
Apparently, there was an earthquake of some note in the San Francisco area just a few moments ago. Here’s what I saw on Twitterrific:
Hope everyone’s okay out there.
Eric Rice updates us with a link to the USGS, which notes it as a 5.6.
The Onion had this to say just a few days ago about the Boston Red Sox attempting to win the World Series this year (yeah, yeah, I know), and it’s probably the only positive I’m going to get to look at today when it comes to their sweep of the Colorado Rockies.
To all of those sports callers who were raving about how it had to be Don Mattingly as manager of the New York Yankees, looks like you were wrong, at least so far. Unless Joe Girardi turns down the Yankees’ offer.
Okay, well I already passed the screening by the TSA, and should be expecting my CLEAR card within the next week or two. I’m very psyched to be able to use it, but The Girlfriend thinks that I’m going to use it when we travel and leave her behind at the security gate. I’m not *that* mean, am I?
Absolutely thrilled with how Gmail IMAP works on my iPhone.
Thanks, JRL!
You can’t make this stuff up, can you?
