    There's nothing wrong with the subject line unless Reeva Steenkamp has been proven to be a replicant, in which case, #freeoscar.

    But if you need a new one: "Is Mrs. YankeeFan hot enough to be Blade Runner's next target? (POLL) (PICS)"

    I missed this YankeeFan's wife thing.

    What happened?

    YF posted a pic of his smokin' hot wife on another thread and it almost shut the board down.

    Both YF and his wife are better looking than I would have guessed. :D

    I don't know about shutting down the board -- but it was a, um, sizable earthquake. :)

    This story did give us this lead:

    " JOHANNESBURG, South Africa -- As a 130,000-ton asteroid hurtled silently through the dark sea of space last week, teasing earth by slipping past its satellites, a fiery news meteor smashed into the heart of South Africa.

    Unlike the lump of rock spotted by astronomers in Spain a year ago, the story of Oscar Pistorius came without warning, burning through the atmosphere in the dead of night and exploding over the country's capital city.

    The dust storm of confusion it kicked up is beginning to settle, but the shock waves are still reverberating around the globe. South Africa -- a nation obsessed with sport and heroes, and especially sporting heroes -- is reeling."

    Oh, to be "special" to SI.com.

    Is Alex Eliseev the South African Steve Rushin?

    Less than a month after the fiery news comet of the O.J. Simpson murder case impacted on the Earth, Jupiter was blasted by the Shoemaker-Levy comet.

    Coincidence? I think not.

    They grant him bail.

    This will not end well.
     
  11. The magistrate took 1 hour and 45 minutes to explain his ruling before announcing what it was. The speed of justice in Commonwealth countries is sluggish at best.

    Just wow. Bail of $11k? For first degree murder? I bet one of his legs costs more.
