That's to limit your speed in reverse, don't want to go 60 mph backwards

This may be outdated but still really scary

No, they literally testified to congress that it wasn't news but "entertainment"

So if a couple can have a baby in 9 months, 9 couples can have a baby in a month?

Lol, please tell me it was actually written and not printed.

Edit : even better was it actually on a page of paper or was it on like a napkin or back of a receipt?

I called 911 and went to hospital, unable to stand and uncontrollable vomiting black sludge with white specs in it, imagine over-used engine oil with seaseme seeds mixed in. Turns out my liver was leaking into my gi track. 43k bill from hospital, 1200 from ambulance to drive 1 mile, combined 3k from various doctors, 8k for all the tests they ran. Yes all separate bills. I was there for 3 days. That's about a total of 55k in bills for 3 days...

Even if the 25 dollar an hour minimum wage bill passed, and I worked full time for minimum wage with no other expenses(no food, no rent, no gas, no nothing) I still couldn't pay it in a year(yearly pay at 25 an hour is 52k a year).

In an apartment complex I used to live there were 2 "police incidents" which were way overkill. A week or two after I moved in I got home and there were easily over a dozen cop cars in the parking lot. Cops were walking around with assault rifles and body armor. Shortly after I got home I got an email from complex stating there was a emergency situation and everyone was to stay in their apartment if home or stay out if not home. After a few more hours everyone left. What was the cause? A homeless man broke into a empty apartment but with no power had no a or fans and died of heat stroke. When the apartment was rented, one of the maintenance people went in to "prep for move in" and found the body.

Second incident was worse. First 2 cop cars appeared, then atleast 6 more. The complex was on a corner of 2 roads and each of those were shut down by cops blocking them. There was 3 trucks with "swat" written on them. Then they started calling out on a PA system to come out with your hands up. This went on for 3 hours. Finally I hear/feel a shake/bang. Turns out they decided to use an explosive on one of the apartments to gain entry. The apartment was empty. I talked to some neighbors and found out some girl broke up with her boyfriend. She and another friend were home when he showed up and decided to beat her for breaking up with him. He didn't know the friend was there and the friend walked up behind him and hit him with a bottle. The two girls then ran out of the apartment. They ran to a gas station and called the police. It was about 10 minutes until the police showed up and about 30 minutes before they shut down the roads, the complex was less than a mile from a major interstate highway. In addition the apartment was a first floor and had a sliding glass door to a small patio area. This meant they could a. See in the apartment and b. Just break the glass instead of using explosive on the front door. C. Just ask the office for a key instead of using an explosive. Seriously this was such overkill over nothing, yes guy was asshole and beating people up is never right but since it was about 45 minutes before the cops blocked the roads he easily could got away and onto the highway....

It would be horrible in real life but I thought a funny intro to a post apocalyptic movie would be a person giving a tour of a bio lab to college interns and...

"through our studies we have learned to increase the transmission rate and the death rate of the small pox virus. The downside is we had to mix it with rabies so the infected tend to get aggressive and lose there ability to rationalize their thoughts. Don't worry though, there is only this one vial of it in the entire world... these gloves are quite slippery.. Oops"

As long as the child isn't actually hurt then typically you can distract then with something funny and they forget about the pain.

Obviously if they have a serious injury don't do this and contact medical professionals.

This is explainable from a boy who does this...

Common cold - I want to be allowed to rest and be taken care for(for example "I'm sick so can you cook me some soup and a sandwich for lunch?").

Life threatening illness - I don't want to make the person worry about me. I don't want them to force me to a hospital which I cant afford.

You're not going to worry or take me to the er for a cough but you would probably care for me and pamper me... That's the difference

All I'm going to say is I still remember "correcthorsebatterrystaple"....
