    - "I thinkwe have elves who like to paint" -- nm - Beaker Jul 23, 13:00
- Wait, if he had the key, was he painting the outside or the inside? -- nm - Max Jul 23, 12:56 4
  - Inside. That is what I am hoping will save us. Unless he got there and it was unlocked. - Spawn Jul 23, 12:58 3
    - which is what would have happened at my house. -- nm - fabulous squad Jul 23, 13:43

- C$789 -- nm - emoticripple Jul 23, 12:30
- $3,125.00 -- nm - Strongbad Jul 23, 12:30 7
  - you win! least expensive option right now is $2547. -- nm - Andie Jul 23, 12:35 6
    - It'd be cheaper to buy someone a plane ticket and have them bring it to you. -- nm - Baron Bing Bong Jul 23, 12:43 3
      - Throw me the statue. No time to argue! Throw me statue, I'll throw you the money! -- nm - Spawn Jul 23, 12:45
      - it's been discussed/ -- nm - Andie Jul 23, 12:43 1
        
        ...but its easier to smuggle national artifacts out by shipping them -- (edited) - decline Jul 23, 12:55
    - Suck it up! That's 1/3 of a cent per pound per mile. -- nm - Roger More Jul 23, 12:38 1
      - i can't believe you did that math. -- nm - Andie Jul 23, 12:39

- changing my answer: 1,809,500.00 -- (edited) - decline Jul 23, 12:29
Please sit down before you read this shocking news - jangles Jul 23, 12:27 2
- again? -- nm - Spawn Jul 23, 12:31 1
  - Yeah, I'm not so shocked this time. -- nm - Jim Jul 23, 12:34
So people really watch this Wendy Williams show? - jangles Jul 23, 12:23
heh -- (link) - Spawn Jul 23, 12:21
"Waller County, Texas, prosecutors confirm autopsy findings in Sandra Bland's death were consistent with suicide." -- nm - ML Jul 23, 12:19 22
- have they released the real traffic stop video yet? without the phantom cars and people appearing and disappearing... -- nm - Beaker Jul 23, 13:01 2
  - there wasn't any of that in what I watched yesterday afternoon. nm but: -- (link) - b. Jul 23, 13:09 [Backboard]
  - looks like it -- nm - ML Jul 23, 13:02
- Oh, so not a boating accident? -- nm - jangles Jul 23, 12:21
- Of course they were. -- nm - Spawn Jul 23, 12:20
- Wha?? -- nm - Jim Jul 23, 12:19 16
  - It's the same DA who has also put the officer under criminal investigation, FWIW. - ML Jul 23, 12:24 15
    - I hadn't really paid a lot of attention to this...I kinda just assumed she was like a Freddie Gray case -- nm - Jim Jul 23, 12:33 6
      - Nah. She died 3 days later--likely connected only by the fact that she was in jail as a result of what looks like an illegal arrest. - ML Jul 23, 12:35 5
        
        IM: although as I mentioned above, the officer could also be criminally liable for acts during the arrest - ML Jul 23, 12:38 3
        
        But he certainly can't be tried for murder or manslaughter or anything like that, right? -- (edited) - Jim Jul 23, 12:47 2
        
        Not as a result of the stop/arrest--there would have to be probable cause that he then separately murdered her at the jail. - ML Jul 23, 12:52 1
        
        Oh yeah...somebody getting paid for this. -- nm - Jim Jul 23, 12:53
        
        Didn't even have to give her the nickel ride - jangles Jul 23, 12:36
    - Is there any precedence for someone being held civilly or criminally responsible for someone else's suicide? -- nm - Inigo Jul 23, 12:30 7
      - There is one case in this area I'm aware of (nmbl) - Brian Jul 23, 13:22
      - Speaking only to this case, causation would be a massive hurdle. -- nm - ML Jul 23, 12:36 2
        
        If she during the booking interview that she was suicidal, it seems kind of negligent to put a trash bag in the cell, and not do the visual checks - mara Jul 23, 12:47 1
        
        depends on which form you believe. sounds like there are 3 different ones floating around and in 1 she seems fine and in another suicidal -- nm - Beaker Jul 23, 13:02
      - One of those Facebook bullying cases maybe? -- nm - jangles Jul 23, 12:31 2
        
        Yes or in this case where a false arrest would cause a rebound of depression which then causes suicide. - Inigo Jul 23, 12:38 1
        
        BTW, the above scenario would totally be on Ally McBeal. -- nm - Inigo Jul 23, 13:00
R - check your pulse. That sounds like you may be in hell. -- nm - rollo Jul 23, 12:18 1
- or on the phone with the government, so same diff -- nm - Reagen Jul 23, 12:19
Oh yeah...and Lou Ferigno played Secret Service Agent Banner. heh -- nm* - Jim Jul 23, 12:11 2
- Some NFL players were in it...Ryan Kerrigan, Marcellus Wiley, Brian Mitchell... - Will Hunting Jul 23, 12:12 1
  - Ochocinco was in there. Nascar was represented as well with Logano and Keselowski. -- nm - Jim Jul 23, 12:14
Jim -- nm - Word. Jul 23, 12:08 3
- Awesome. :-) -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jul 23, 12:15
- Damnit Professor, I'm a blogger, not a poet -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 23, 12:11
