“He always said that the old men make the decisions that send the young men into war,” Adrian said.
“He used to say, if it was the other way around, and the old pollies were off fighting, then there would never be any wars.”

Police say Henderson was told to exit the race and get in a police car but he refused, running around an officer and continuing to run in the race. Eventually, Henderson was instructed to get in a car or he would be Tased. Henderson kept on running and an officer Tased him.
…
Henderson was not a registered participant in the Flying Pig, according to a race roster.
No point in registering if there’s no place to pin on the bib. Being naked and tased has to be one of the ultimate indignities.

baekdal.com: The Usability of Passwords
My websites got hacked over the weekend and the first thing that I did was to change all my passwords to something stronger. I have no idea if it was the passwords that were compromised, but at least it made me feel better doing something. After my flurry of password changes, I was facing passwords that I had to cut and paste to login like xBEP7xf19!M.

CNN.com: Easter reminder: Kinder Eggs banned in the United States
Kinder Eggs, a popular European chocolate egg that contains a toy inside, is banned from importation into the United States because it contains a “non-nutritive object embedded in it.”
I bought one of these eggs several years ago and I was immediately impressed with how high quality the toy is. Much better than the typical freebies that you get in cereal boxes here. That’s part of the reason why it’s developed a following for adults everywhere else in the world.
I think if the product is clearly labeled, not for under age 3, it should be sold in the United States.
