OK, here is how you prevent this from happening to you. If you are a part of an office pool you buy the group tickets and take pics of the tickets or photocopy them or whatever and share them with everyone in the group before the drawing. That will give them a list of what numbers belong to the group. If you buy your own tickets then they will not be on the list. If you win on your own you can show the group that their tickets lost but your personal ticket won. I am sure there will still be some people who would sue anyway but if you cover yourself at the beginning then it makes it very hard for them to get very far with it. I am quite sure this handy dandy advice will be very useful to the thousands of Neatorama readers who are involved in officer lottery pools and have personal winning numbers coming up in the next year or two. Kudos on that by the way.
I have been putting some thought to this since watching the Walking Dead.
I say find the nearest slaughter house that is geared up for cattle. With a little bit of work you can create a system to get the zoms into the holding pens. These are designed and built to hold angry/scared cattle, each of which weigh over 1500 pounds or so. Those pens could easily handle zombies. You may have to extend the height of the pens to keep the climbers at bay. If you get a horde of zombies show up you lure them into the holding pens. Those pens will be strong enough to hold them.
Next up, you have bolt guns that are ran off of compresses air. If you can get a way to keep the compressor going then you can use these bolt guns to kill zombies. Direct zombies into the regular killing chutes. Of course some modification would have to happen to get these killing zones zombie ready. Zombies are smaller than cattle but it can be done. Isolate them one at a time and use the bolt gun on them one at a time. Pull the bodies out and burn them in some other part of your new compound.
A slaughter house will have many different pens and holding areas. Some of these can be used to contain bonfires. Some can be used for gardening. Heck, you may even be able to raise a few cows in there. The rest of the slaughter house, fortified of course, can house many people.
All of this presupposes you have the time, materials, and know-how to get the place up to zombie-ready conditions.
I have seen dead snakes still biting. It is a reflex action and can happen for minutes after they have died. I have heard of dogs being bit by dead snakes and I always heard stories of people being bit by dead ones but this is the first time I have seen an actual news story about it.
I agree with you Cuculine. The mother bear would not like a mountain lion anywhere near her cub. Heck, she was probably not too happy to have a human near her cub. However, that mountain lion let the mother bear know exactly where it was at by attacking and now she could chase him off proper. The human was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Worked out pretty well for the mother bear though.
Well, this has never worked for me on any of the versions I played. In fact I did it the other way around. I would move right up to power pellet and stop and wait until the ghosts were right on top of me. Then I get the pellet and go after ghosts. I never had an issue with them not coming after me when I stopped moving.
I was thinking about this video on the way to work this morning. Pay attention to the person's legs at the 38 second mark. They are hanging down. There does not appear to be any kind of support or harness for them. However, starting at about the 38 second mark he pulls his legs back like he was in a hang glider. Then he maintains that for the rest of this flight. That takes some solid abs to keep your legs pulled back if you are being suspended with straps on your torso. Keeping those legs up while putting energy into flapping would be extremely hard. It seems unlikely he would have pulled his legs up if this were real. If there had been some sort of harness or support for them that would be one thing but to pull them back while you are supposed to be putting effort into the flapping and trying to stear and just paying attention to what you are doing does not make sense.
Levi's is not obligated to include obese women. However, their ad comes across as trying to market to women who are not models. This is where Levi's is either just plain ignorant as to what constitutes "all shapes and sizes" or they are trying to tell certain women that Levi's is not the choice for them. Either way it is insulting.
Levi's would have done better to just stick with a normal ad than to pull a stunt like this. This one will alienate quite a few people and not just people who are obese. There are plenty of people who are fuller figure who are not fat. There are plenty of people who may be in athletic shape or are super thin models who would be offended by the message in the ad and decide to just not buy Levi's.
In the end, no good can come from an ad like this.
I remember in Lethal Weapon 4 they showed counterfeiters taking the funny money they had just created and shoving it into a dryer with a bunch of poker chips. This took their crisp bills and made them look more worn so people would not be as suspicious of them. Now, I bet the police in this case would have figured out if the money was fake so I am not exactly sure what this guy was up to.
When I was in college in 94 I went into the dorm TV room and I was the only one there. Turned on the TV and found MASH. Woohoo. Started watching. Soon a group of people show up and start complaining about it being on. "Why are we watching this?", they asked. I told them I would give it back to them after the show was over. They grumbled but were ok with that. Well, we watched the show and guess what there was another MASH on after it. The group said to leave it on. After that we all would meet up in the TV room every night to watch MASH. What is funny is every now and then someone new would show up and ask "Why are we watching this?".
