'Zombie-like' virus killing raccoons in NYC's Central Park - crash davis Jul 24, 14:14 13

    - I'm not going to bat for everything. The one bit is real though. -- nm - Reagen Jul 24, 14:03 2
      - I think the mountain lion left because it was worried she would break out the crystals next -- nm* - crash davis Jul 24, 14:05 1
        
        It would not be my first line of defence against a mountain lion, I'll say that. -- nm - Reagen Jul 24, 14:05

        "1:28 PM PT -- Law enforcement sources tell us Demi was treated with Narcan -- an emergency treatment for narcotic overdoses -- at her home." - David Jul 24, 13:37 4

If Elon Musk really wanted to make the world a better place he'd arrange for a widescreen remaster of Babylon 5... -- nm - Ender Jul 24, 13:27 2
- when I looked at the wide screen versions 10 years ago, they trimmed the top & bottom off the original version to give the widescreen image losing 30% of the show. -- nm* - peglegpete Jul 24, 13:36 1
  - Right. The problem is that they filmed the people in widescreen, but only made the vfx in 4:3. -- nm - Ender Jul 24, 13:40

Hot Cheetos and Takis under fire after snacking teen needs gallbladder removal - crash davis Jul 24, 13:23 21
- Ha, two times in the first four paragraphs they dismiss the connection between the snacks and gallbladder problems. Way to torpedo your own headline. - Baron Starr Jul 24, 13:56 2
  - not the spicy part anyway, but I wonder about the fat. - b. Jul 24, 14:05 1
    - I am sure I shared this before, an ex GF was on atkins for like 6 months, and she blew her gall bladder out. -- nm - groiny Jul 24, 14:07
- that's an odd inclusion for the particular story. the girl with the gallbladder issue isn't obese, per other versions. nm but: -- (link) - b. Jul 24, 13:37 7
  - It's almost like they're being intentionally sensationalistic to get more clicks. -- nm - Ender Jul 24, 13:44 1
    - they really don't have to do that, putting Cheetos in the headline guarantees that I'll repost it -- nm - crash davis Jul 24, 13:53
  - Yeah it is tangential and odd, but I think they were struggling to link Cheetos and the gallbladder. -- nm - crash davis Jul 24, 13:40 4
    - right - I think it would have been ok to include that part, just not in a paragraph about her. -- nm - b. Jul 24, 13:54 1
      - yeah, I'll agree with that -- nm - crash davis Jul 24, 13:55
    - takis are gross, but flaming hot Cheetos are wonderful -- nm - groiny Jul 24, 13:45 1
      - I'm down with that. -- nm - crash davis Jul 24, 13:49
- I thought it was Trump and George Takei in trouble -- nm - Amoxy Jul 24, 13:33 1
  - you're confusing flavors, that is Dumbass Cheeto -- nm - crash davis Jul 24, 13:34
- *opens my trenchcoat to show 50 bags of takis* -- nm - groiny Jul 24, 13:25
- How bout this, lady. How bout you be a parent and not buy your kid four big bags of spicy chips to eat each week. - IrishStephen Jul 24, 13:25 4
  - !ding! -- nm - Epiphany Jul 24, 13:40
  - Hot Cheetos and Takis are part of a balanced diet. -- nm - Frito Lay si Jul 24, 13:38
  - I do admire her guts in blaming Frito-Lay rather than herself. Also, I like spicy Cheetos. I've done one bag a month before. 4/wk blows me away. -- nm - crash davis Jul 24, 13:30 1
    - They're a little too spicy for my taste, though I do like the Lay's Jalapeno Kettle Chips. -- nm - IrishStephen Jul 24, 14:05
- "That sparked a black market at some schools, with Takis becoming an underground currency." -- nm - crash davis Jul 24, 13:25 1

  - I'm just saying, sex cult with ties to whiskey and superheroes means that story hit a triple. -- nm - crash davis Jul 24, 13:22 4
    - Let's not devalue Superheroes by invoking Tom Welling. -- nm - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Jul 24, 13:34 3
