The US has once again delayed the date set to put Iraqi authorities in control of their own freaking country. You know, because it's all still a mess.
But wait, maybe I'm judging this too harshly. Sometimes delays can be good things, right? Like when the train is running late and you never make it to work; or your watch says twelve o'clock so you get out of bed like a mad man, but turns out you still have four hours to sleep, even if your heart is racing; when a multimillion dollar film's release date is postponed, always a good sign; or when your teenage daughter's period is late. Best of lucks, Iraq.
Staying on the subject of the US and its military projects, they have a pain box now. They call it the Silent Guardian (because it's you the one screaming), and it causes unbearable pain to anybody within its... pain range, I guess. It's meant as a non-lethal way to make people run away.
So this is a legal thing, a machine created for the sole and express purpose of causing pain? I guess it makes sense, as long as prostitution and pot are still criminal offenses, of course.
Now, I'm not sure what they mean by non-lethal. After all, a pencil in the wrong hands and through the right part of a person's eye is very much lethal. And those things were designed for writing, not making people scream in agony. At the very least, if somebody drops that box on your head, you're dead.
Ok, I had heard about this. The owners of a dry cleaning shop lost a pair of pants and were sued for tens of millions of dollars. For pants. Trousers. That which covers the lower half of a body, and costs not nearly as much. Hell, what if somebody loses a car? Stocks will go down. Anyway, the guys had to close their shop.
The asshole; I'm sorry, plaintiff; said that the "satisfaction guaranteed" and "same day service" signs displayed where misleading. Well, none of them said "pants won't go missing", right? Perhaps the asshole; sorry, plaintiff; looked like a guy who'd be satisfied without pants, so they lost them. Probably in the same day.
Boomm. I know, I'm kinda pissed today.
