The Chevy Lumina and it's Olds counterpart. I had one in college and loved it. However, I did have someone back into the sliding door once. The small fist sized hole necessitated the replacement of the whole panel.

I find it amusing that your post was modded "funny". My and my wife's wills do in fact have such language in them, as well as a sealed envelope that contains passwords, giving the other permission to access these type of accounts. If we both go at the same time, different people get different types of accounts. For example, my sister will get the social media passwords, but I have a friend that is a big reader that will get my Kindle and Amazon account (and subsequently access to the e-books). IIRC, it was the lawyer that suggested we do this.

LHC Forces Bookmaker To Lower Odds On the Existence of God 457

A UK bookmaker has lowered the odds on proving that god exists to just 4-1 to coincide with the switching on of the Large Hadron Collider. The chance that physicists might discover the elusive sub-atomic object called the "God particle" has forced the odds lower. Initially the odds that proof would be found of God's existence were 20-1, and they lengthened to 33-1 when the multi-billion pound atom smasher was shut down temporarily because of a magnetic failure. A spokesman for Paddy Power said, "The atheists' planned advertising campaign seems to have renewed the debate in pubs and around office water-coolers as to whether there is a God and we've seen some of that being transferred into bets. However we advise anyone still not sure of God's existence to maybe hedge their bets for now, just in case." He added that confirmation of God's existence would have to be verified by scientists and given by an independent authority before any payouts were made. Everyone getting a payout is encouraged to tithe at least ten percent.

Fifth Cable Cut To Middle East 676

You may have noticed a number of stories recently about undersea cables getting cut around the world. Apparently the total is now up to 5, but the scariest part of this is that Iran is now offline. You can also read Schneier's comments on this coincidence. Update: 02/06 17:42 GMT by Z : As a commenter notes, though the country of Iran is obviously experiencing some networking difficulties, it is not offline.
