Olbermann Goes After Sarah Palin's Lies
Hopefully at that time she will disappear forever.

David Mitchell's Bread & Milk rant from QI
There are at least two known "Truths" which have appeared on The Unbelievable Truth which are in fact false. One is that you if remove the fleas from a hedgehog, then the hedgehog dies. The other is the cricket did not exist during Shakespeare's time. Both of these were corrected when David Mitchell appeared on an episode of QI.

Couple Arrested for Not Paying Tip
I've got to side with the business on this one. If you go to a restaurant that requires you tip, then don't act surprised and angry at the end of the meal when you get your bill.
That is the point. You should not (and in all likelihood *cannot*) be "required" to tip. They were surprised and angry by the service not the included tip, and the it should have been removed from the bill as soon as the customers complained. None of this "If you don't pay it I'll call the police" bullshit.
The saddest part is that they said they will pay the tip if the problem ever comes up again. Maybe they'll change their minds if they win the court case.
Edit: Check out the utter destruction on Yelp!
What if Earth had rings like Saturn?
Also keep in mind that the "shadow" would constantly be moving based on the time of year, so there would be no place on Earth where the eclipse was permanent.
I wish he had shown some images of the shadow that Earth would cast on the rings. The two cutoff points from the part of the rings that show brightly at night to the part that is in shadow would give a real good sense of what time it is.
And just how dark would night be at that point? There would be significantly more reflected light than what the moon gives us.

blankfist, she stated very clearly that the waitress "never came back". Waiting an hour for food, failure to receive utensils, and being ignored by waitstaff is unacceptable. I don't care how busy the place was.
In most situations, I agree that being nice to your server and tipping well is important. But bad service should never be rewarded, no matter how sucky their job is.
I hope we find out the resolution of this case.

"It was a circus, it was just, the media didn't zero in on the circus." What a moron. It's not a media circus without the media.

But I don't think it's fake. Watch it hit her. No flinching before the impact, and a genuine short screech of surprise. I think the door was just set in place for the video, and had been off the hinges for a while. She probably set it up herself, not thinking about how easy it would tip over.
COLBY, THE CHRISTIAN ROBOT!
The editing turned it into a laugh riot. I also appreciate how it emphasized the fact that all the faithful believers were robots, too.

I disagree. The locations you mention have quotations & images of philosophers, historical figures, poets, authors, actors, atheletes, and public figures of all kinds. Some (not all) of those displays have origins in religion. The historical role of religion in government and law is important. It is part of our culture. For a modern court or school to give a nod & pay homage to that role is not a slap in the face of any particular belief system, nor is it 'advocating' any particular religion.
When a library somewhere puts up a pithy quote from Frued, Nietzsche, or some other sectarian it isn't a big deal to me - even if I disagree with the overall senitment. It doesn't make me want to 'join' an organization that respects the subject. They are just tipping a hat to 'good advice' and great people & events from our shared history. To suggest that some images/quotes/events/displays should be banned because they happen to have their origins in religion is censorship of the worst kind - and people who claim to be 'open minded' should be ashamed to have any part of it.
If a courthouse had a display of a dozen different ancient law codes, and the ten commandments was one of them, I don't think it would be a problem for most atheists. The problem is when that is the ONLY one displayed, especially in the form of a "2.6-ton granite monument".
And if you take another look at the ten commandments, only two of them (murder and theft) are still against the law. Well, two and a half, since bearing false witness is sometimes illegal. If you want to "give a nod" to it, fine, but others try to claim it's the "foundation" of our legal system (as in the article). Twenty five percent congruity is not a foundation, and I doubt there is a religion or philosophy where those actions aren't condemned. So "give a nod" to all of the other ones, too.
And I also think it is highly unlikely that your local library would be able to post "God is dead." on the wall. But I'm glad to hear you would let it slide if they did.
