I don't know the full details of the story, but wouldn't that be circumstantial evidence? Is there any proof that the leech came from the perpetrator of the initial crime?

Sadly I am now on probation for self-medicating my Tourette's syndrome with cannabis. I'm willing to accept the fact that I'm being punished for breaking the law, but in quitting and paying my debt to society, my Tourette's syndrome has gotten much worse. I would move to a state that allows medical marijuana, but I'm not allowed to leave the state at the moment.

I'm glad that this boy is getting the help he needed in a manner that doesn't violate the law. I really think that the United States ought to seriously reconsider its laws regarding cannabis. I also really think it will be a very long time before this happens. Every success story such as this one reminds me even more how many people are ignoring a viable option of treatment because of the negative stigma placed on it due to a draconian law. Perhaps one day cannabis will be universally accepted as legitimate medicine once more, as it was a hundred years ago. I own a very old leather-bound copy of the USP-NF which lists cannabis as a useful drug for a number of conditions, and even recommends a company to purchase it from.

I'm not saying every drug used 100 years ago was valid, in fact far from it, but while most were discontinued or phased out by finding better alternatives, or through rigorous medical testing, cannabis was thrown out generally for racial and economic reasons.

All glory to the... hypno-gecko?

Good luck, whatever blog. Maybe I'm behind the times in not knowing this particular blog, but something tells me they are a far cry from rivaling 4chan's numbers or capability. If they can single handedly stop 4chan from breaking their little game into its component parts and crapping on them while laughing, great job -- I'll follow them to hell and back. Until then, keep dreaming. 4chan loves cats. They'll call an emergency Caturday.

Sorry, I just don't see this happening.

You make me sad. He's Bob frickin' Dylan. I don't even know what to say, except I'm sorry.

@32, Mim - I don't like you. One day, I hope you achieve something so great that people care enough to hate it.

I'll take two of those. And a chair.

He seems to only have one N64 game, Goldeneye. Where are Smash Bros. and Mario Kart 64?

The tethers are probably a combination of data feedback and power source. Once they get all the bugs out and develop a lightweight battery system for it, I'd imagine these are good to go. I'm sure they could coat one side of the snake in tiny solar cells, and then it could get on top of a building or a rock and "sun" itself like a real snake.

Very neat.

Do it, ted. Do it.

Vonskippy -- I'm not sure if you've ever driven across America. Or flown across. Or looked at a population density map. ITS A BIG PLACE. Huge, in fact. With most of the middle areas having extremely low population density. To say that Montana and the Dakotas are going to run out of space any time soon is absurd.

Also about that "myth" regarding our inability to save endangered species: nobody tell the bald eagle.

As it's perfectly clear that others have got the right answer, I'd just like to add that these are incredibly sturdy and made of a heavy hardwood. I keep one in my car just like that one. Just in case. Of black people.

I hope he gets to keep it. If someone took my missile from me, I'd be pissed.

I approve. You could form an entire squirrel army.

You fool, if you only catch the slow fish, Cid will die and Celes will try to kill herself.
