skyscrapers fucking hate cars. everyone knows that.

skyscrapers also hate airplanes piloted by terroists.

I thought it was the other way around?

I guess its mutual.

[Joe]

I would assume so. I asked the indian lady at the casino why there was only 3.2 beer, and she said the Chief wouldn't allow anything with more alcohol.

Alcoholism is a problem among Native Americans.

I can see why. that shit was more depressing than Kansas.

1. OBAMA ADMINISTRATION MAKING ITS CASE FOR MILITARY STRIKE
Kerry, Hagel and other top officials will appear before a Senate panel to argue for a response to last month's alleged gas attack outside Damascus.
I still say stay out of it. The problem is if Obama doesn't do anything about it his opponents will use that against him as well.

2. HOW MICROSOFT IS EXTENDING ITS SMARTPHONE REACH
The company - aiming to better compete with Apple and Google - is buying Nokia's line of smartphones.
Not significant. Windows only holds 8% of the market right now.

3. JAPAN PLEDGES MILLIONS TO STOP NUKE LEAKS
As Tokyo seeks an Olympic bid, the government says it will fund an underground ice wall aimed at halting radioactive water from escaping from Fukushima.
Bottled water companies should sponsor the Olympics if it winds up in Japan.

4. WHY DENNIS RODMAN'S BACK IN NORTH KOREA
He says he wants to hang out with Kim Jong Un and have a good time - but not be a diplomat.
This has very gay undertones.

5. THE 177,028-METER FREESTYLE
Sixty-four-year-old Diana Nyad becomes the first to swim from Cuba to Florida without a shark cage.
Sharks aren't into old chicks.

6. CBS, TIME WARNER MAKE PEACE
The agreement ends a blackout and allows the resumption of broadcasts of CBS and CBS-owned channels to millions of U.S. homes.
Sounds like Time Warner sucks more than Comcast

7. BEEFING UP THE ANTI-FLU FORCES
For the first time, certain vaccines will protect against four strains of flu instead of three.
I probably still won't get a shot.

8. STILL CASTING A GROOVY GLOW AT 50
Half a century after the Lava Lamp first hit shelves, millions of the hip home accessories have been sold worldwide.
Slow news day?

9. MEXICAN FILM A SURPRISE HIT AT THE BOX OFFICE
"Instructions Not Included" turns in the biggest Spanish-language opening ever over the holiday weekend in the U.S.
Mexicans have TVs?

10. WHO DIDN'T KEEP HIS END OF THE BARGAIN AT THE US OPEN
Roger Federer suffers an upset loss, meaning he won't meet Rafael Nadal in the quarterfinals. Their match had been highly anticipated.
No one cares about tennis.

skyscrapers fucking hate cars. everyone knows that.

[LeNeve]

don't Cubans swim from cuba to Florida all the time without shark cages?

[Joe]

don't Cubans swim from cuba to Florida all the time without shark cages?

Yeah, but it doesn't count because they aren't rich white chicks.

[Joe]

Why is it all of a sudden a horrible thing when a country uses chemical weapons on their people when they've been murdering them in a more traditional way for decades?

Oklahoma fun facts.
1. they don't sell beer at the liqour stores. when I asked the lady at the liqour store where to find beer, she told me to go to wal mart. Pennsylvania has beer stores and liquor stores

2. there are scorpions, and they get in the shower. Even at a really nice place.

3. there are alot of native Americans, that are not very smart.

4. indian casinos are lame as fuck. just a room full of penny slots, and 3.2% bud light. most casinos that I've been to are run by indians, and they are not lame

Have you ever been to Four Winds?
It's in Michigan, I think it's the 2nd exit coming from Chicago.
We did a lot of work on it.

London's Walkie Talkie Tower Blamed For Melting Car

LONDON (Reuters) - The developers of a London skyscraper that reflects sunlight at such intense levels that it warped panels and melted mirrors on a parked car will not need to break the bank to fix the problem, a project source told Reuters.

The Walkie Talkie tower in the city's insurance district, which is being developed by Canary Wharf Group and Land Securities, was blamed for damaging a nearby Jaguar car this week.

The architect was Uruguayan-born Rafael Vinoly and the building's concave design means developers can squeeze more money from its larger upper floors, where rents are higher.

But the shape acts as a lens that reflects intense beams of sunlight for about two hours a day during two to three weeks of the year and developers are "evaluating long-term solutions", they said in a statement on Monday.

A hotel in Vegas had that problem.
Only it directed the light straight down into the pool.

Sounds perfect. Less expensive to maintain giant hot tub.

It didn't melt a car, but it melted cups and burned hair.
