1 I immediately knew what you were talking about as soon as I clicked the link without reading any of the text.

The innertubes have ruined me forever.

2 I hope you don't mind, Alice, but I stole that for a header pic at The Hostages.

3 Yup, knew immediately what it was.  Oh the internets.  How you spoiled my poor virgin soul.  

4 Sean, the only thing that upsets me about that is that you didn't resize it properly.  You must respect the idolatry. 

Lemme know what dimensions it's supposed to be and I'll snag a copy and resize it/add sides to it so it's not all blurry.

5 Hahahaha. I cracked up when I saw that at the H2 this morning. Credit  ... if you can call it that ... goes to Alice H.

6 Barack Obama's administration urged Edinburgh to base the release of Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset al-Megrahi on compassionate grounds, it has emerged.

Newspapers had quoted a letter from Richard LeBaron, deputy head of the US Embassy in London, to Scottish first minister Alex Salmond.

It read: "If Scottish authorities come to the conclusion that Megrahi must be released from custody, the US position is that conditional release on compassionate grounds would be a far preferable alternative to prisoner transfer."

7 Alice, I had to resize it that way because Wordpress was being a butthole and wouldn't let me post it in its original dimensions.
