I'm hoping the NABS can get this. John Oliver has proven he's the true heir to John Stewart's throne - he actually made net neutrality funny:

Inmate Walks Free After Emailing Release Instructions to Prison Staff

Maddie Stone

An inmate who was in prison for multiple charges of fraud is apparently up to his old tricks. Posing as a senior court clerk, Neil Moore, 28, used an illicit mobile phone to email fake bail instructions to prison staff, who released him. Well, that's embarrassing.

Moore was being held at Wandsworth Prison in the UK for persuading organizations to give him nearly 3 million US dollars, by posing as staff from Barclays Bank, Lloyds Bank and Santander. In his most recent deception, which a trial judge describes as "ingenious," Moore set up a fake web domain closely resembling that of the court service's official address. He used it to email the prison's custody inbox with instructions for his release. The deception was uncovered three days later, when solicitors went to interview Moore, only to find him gone.

Apparently, Moore felt guilty about his latest, because he surrendered himself only three days after he was discovered missing. He'll be sentenced on April 20th for 8 counts of fraud and one count of escape. For his next trick, Moore will spend 20 years tunneling himself out with a rock hammer.

When I was teaching I'd occasionally have kids who were so ingenious in their wrong doing I had a hard time being mad at them. Rather wanted to pat them on the head.

I seem (touch wood) to have got over the knackered phase of the walking thingie and can now stomp up a hill without feeling that somebody nicked my leg bones and turned them into mush. Which is nice. Its getting easier by the day I can now go out twice a day for a long walk. I am sleeping much better and pooping better, and cant stop eating, but gone down two dress sizes. I think its the sea air.

You're ready to join a hobbit walking party!

You'll be pushing me and Lance up Kilimanjaro soon.

Wonderful!

The human body was a walking machine long before it was a sitting machine. That's why legs develop before butts.
I find if you give it the use it was built for it'll repay you many times over.

A corollary to that is the human body is more of a loping machine; the better to chase injured prey and overcome them by exhaustion. Though I'm willing to buy into the theory, I'm not willing to put it into practice. That's just too much work.

I can chase an injured Starbucks no probs.

is 15 degree gradient steep cos that's what I do every day? it seems like its vertical near the top.

Yes, it's steep. almost 1:3 ratio of up versus forward.

I wondered why my nose felt like it was touching the road
