        And for a different opinion, I think that falling into a driving on autopilot basis is far more dangerous as there's just more things to... - JD Jun 22, 20:02
    - Well...something like that - JD Jun 22, 19:41

  - But you get to fly - JD Jun 22, 19:26 2
    - I just get the feeling that a lot of them think because they're really good at one thing (acting, music, business) that translates to being a pilot -- nm - jangles Jun 22, 19:31
    - I think this sums it up nicely -- (link) - Remlik Jun 22, 19:29 [youtube]

Unbelievable -- nm - Krusty Jun 22, 18:05
Interesting. Seems there's some consistency in the way the match is being called -- nm - JD Jun 22, 18:03
She did technically get ball first. -- nm - Reagen Jun 22, 18:03 2
- Did she? It didn't seem to change direction. -- nm - David Jun 22, 18:04 1
  - just by a hair. The red was totally justified, but it's amusing that by the absolute letter there's a justification for that being OK. -- nm - Reagen Jun 22, 18:06

    - yeah ...plus it will allow the Rock to flex some different acting muscles. -- nm - Remlik Jun 22, 18:20 1
      - I enjoyed him and think he'll do well. The serious scenes are where we'll find out if he can really act. -- nm* - Krusty Jun 22, 18:27
Diddy was arrested at UCLA today, possible for trying to assault someone with a kettleball? -- nm - ty97 Jun 22, 17:14 3
