Oh, sorry -- I forgot. This was at Warwick Castle, UK. Sept 2006. The blurry shot shows the man running the hamster-wheel to wind the thing up (down). The guy standing alone was the announcer, to tell the crowd what was occurring.

Same principle, just newer materials.

LMAO at the Illinois governor who just got arrested for trying to SELL a senate seat. How corrupt and arrogant do you have to be as a governor to actually get arrested??

badgoodDeb · 12-09-2008, 04:09 PM

Just about exactly THAT corrupt. First sitting governor we've had arrested. The past gov is warming up a spot for him, in jail.

Not just a seat, but Obama's seat. Now I've heard that you can find change under seat cushions, but this is the first time I've seen a seat cushion auctioned for change.....

The final line of the BBC News website article is:

Quote:

Three of the state's governors have been jailed on corruption charges in the last 35 years.

Is this an unusually high number? Or is it just that the electorate are intelligent enough to elect the politicians stupid enough to get caught if they break the law?

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

And lest you think I'm picking on just one side.....my own governor is the new Homeland Security Chief.

Now you can be frickin' terrified.....

Those are some programs I use to design stuff for my GURPS game that don't seem to like Vista on a 64 bit environment. And I can't believe that I just said the phrase "Vista on a 64 bit environment."
