Alright guys, here's the plan, I'm gonna go into a coma, and someone has to "notice" that I only respond to the name "jennifer connely". Let's make this happen.
"The professors and personnel here are the highest quality that can be found anywhere in the world, and I have learned from them the necessary skills I will need to effectively practice space law," Dodge said in a statement.
How could he have possibly obtained a space lawyer degree at any college other than Space College?
But in all seriousness, I'm very excited about people specializing in the legal matters of our future dealings in space. Beyond the Outer Space Treaty, almost no laws have really been established with this field in mind, and there have been very few court cases to establish any new laws or refinements to old ones to make them space relevant. Certainly territorial disputes will come into question (who owns an asteroid and all its resources? All nations? No nations? Me?); the Outer Space Treaty will be a good basis of establishing that sort of law, but it hasn't yet been brought up in a legal setting or formally challenged.
That said, I'm almost certain that existing maritime laws will mostly be easily applicable to aerospace law, but it's great that someone will be breaking new ground in establishing these conventions in the years to come.
A 13 year old from Texas who stole his Dad's credit card and ordered two hookers from an escort agency, has today been convicted of fraud and given a three year community order.
Ralph Hardy, a 13 year old from Newark, Texas confessed to ordering an extra credit card from his father's existing credit card company, and took his friends on a $30,000 spending spree, culminating in playing "Halo" on an Xbox with a couple of hookers in a Texas motel.
The credit card company involved said it was regular practice to send extra credit cards out as long as all security questions are answered.
The escort girls who were released without charge, told the arresting officers something was up when the kids said they would rather play Xbox than get down to business.
Police said they were alerted to the motel by a concerned delivery clerk, whom after delivering supplies of Dr Pepper, Fritos and Oreos had been asked by the kids where they could score some chicks and were willing to pay. They explained they had just made a big score at a "World of Warcraft" tournament and wanted to get some relaxation. On noting the boys age the delivery clerk informed the authorities.
When police arrived at the motel they found $3,000 in cash, numerous electronic gadgets, an Xbox video console with numerous games, and the two local escort girls.
Ralph had reportedly told police that his father wouldn't mind, as it was his birthday last week and he had forgot to get him a present. The father, a lawyer said he had been too busy, but would take him on a surprise trip to Disneyland instead.
Asked why he ordered two escorts, Ralph said he thought it was the thing to do when you win a "World of Warcraft" tournament. They told the suspicious working girls they were people of restricted growth working with a traveling circus, and as State law does not allow those with disabilities to be discriminated against they had no right to refuse them.
The $1,000 a night girls sensing something up played "Halo" on the Xbox with the kids, instead of selling their sexual services.
Ralph's ambition is to one day become a politician.
It's made more awesome by the fact that Ryan and I always joked about buying hookers to play video games with us. Because usually that's what it takes to get girls to play games with you. =D Great story.
Yeah, seriously. We've been joking for about a year now that for Andrew's bachelor party, I was going to get hookers, and we were just going to play Halo or other video games all night.
The problem I have with this is that it does not make it clear if it was their intention to hire them just to play video games. Also, the whole thievery bit darkens the awesomeness significantly for me.
Using honest money to hire hookers with the intention of just playing video games is certainly awesome, but effectively stealing a credit card to hire hookers and only playing video games with them because you are just a stupid kid and they don't buy your stupid story is not really really that awesome.
Nice attempt, but I'm not ready to call it more than mildly amusing without knowing intentions.
I'm reading Atlas Shrugged right now, and there's sort of a Science Alliance. They're part of the bad-guys though, so they're not a good representation.

It already spans at least 3 forums here on the Orange Belt.
Still, the guy's pretty much guaranteed himself a job.

That is SO AWESOME!

Wow. I fucking love that kid.

I didn't even know WoW tournaments existed. How does that work?
He stole the money from his dad, so he was lying about it and probably just made it up.
If it's the cops asking him that I'm not sure why he'd lie but I guess he could just be sticking to his story no matter what.
