machine. The message "He's lying" was placed in the copier, and police
pressed the copy button each time they thought the suspect wasn't

confessed.

It is TRUE.
Are you sure he read about it in the newspaper and not a tabloid/internet forum? - Snopes

True story here, as I was present at this one. My brother's girlfriend asked my brother to stick his hand out the window of their 70MPH cruising car to see which way the wind was blowing. Another time we were all sitting in the living room with the lights out just talking, and she said it was too light in the room and advised my brother that he needs to open the bathroom door to let some dark in...

Which just proves that someone as stupid as you can get a job writing copy for the WSJ.

Shut your mouth.
Choke on your food.

It's not broken. I went back one sub-catagory and heres what you get. Choose basement and it comes up blank. Choose the number of bedrooms and you will get something back.

Then I refer again to that which was posted by a "Longtime resident of FL" like yourself, and not some "foriener" (sic)

Rare != nonexistent.

'Suicide By Cops'

Since you're looking for a non-pathetic way to go. :roll:

No, I moved here from Pitsburgh 25 years ago. Where we had a basement.
