Man, 81, kills himself with shot from 'suicide robot'

Wouldn't make it a homicide robot? Either way, let's not blame the Internet for everything. The man was losing it. If his family was really that concerned about his welfare, maybe they would have come to get him.

Asylum's renaming insults advocates

But, of course, when aren't advocates insulted?

They say words like "lunatic" and "retarded" have gone the way of "colored" and "Negro" - and should never be resurrected.

So black people can use it, and it's weird at best when a white person uses it -- horrendus at worst? Or can only crazy people use those terms, while the sane have talk around them or be PC?

"It's not just that I'm a liberal and I think it's not a good idea; it's seeing people physically hurt," he said. "That's about all I needed to know."

Uhh, ever heard "sticks and stones..."

I never understood tipping at Starbucks. It's like tipping at McDonald's.

Starbucks ordered to pay back tips

They may want to reconsider because if I was a manager and I didn't get to partake (even if I didn't earn it) I'm tripling garbage and bathroom duty. And I'd be sure to institute a public restroom policy.

Terrible fate by a magnificient creature.

Stingray kills woman on boat in Florida

As you may remember, Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin was killed when a sting ray punctured his heart. He'll definitely be missed, but how can you be sad for a man who died doing what he loved?

You don't understand tipping at Starbucks, huh? When I worked at there, one of my co-workers would use the cup he'd been slobbering on to make drinks for people like that. My smile was especially large each time I handed those customers their 160- degree-organic-milk-venti-two-pump sugar-free-rasberry-no-whip-mocha. Just so you know.
