Your logic is flawed. Fans will buy more than one album from a given group and even multiples of the same album for gifts.
CDs actually make sense for us "old farts". I'll cruise the local Best Buy from time to time looking for a "Greatest Hits" CD from some group I like, find one, buy it, and take it home to rip to my Zune. Then the Zune is plugged into my car so I can drive around without annoying commercials interrupting my music. (The Sirius/XM people were seriously bummed when I told them I didn't need their subscription service.) If anything ever happens to my Zune or computer, the CDs are still there for reload. And best of all, Apple gets NONE of my money.

Dangled your participle, JT. The way this reads, the passerby called the suspects.
You've been watching too many anime and superhero movies, punk. People die from getting kicked in the face, and you added a 20 pound or so bicycle to the head damage. I can't believe you DIDN'T think you would kill him!

I might understand no records of meetings during the first few days while posts were getting filled, but no records AT ALL!? That's a fail.

I would LOVE to visit Japan as a tourist, but the cost of airfare alone is prohibitive unless I go in the Winter time. Those rumblings of 10000 round trip tickets were a brief light in the tunnel, but that plan appears to have fallen by the wayside as the costs of the Fukushima reactors incident became clearer. The government's going to need every yen they can scrape-up in order to start making a dent in the problems the earthquake/tsunami caused. Ah well. Maybe if I win the lottery....

The majority of Russia (land-wise) is in Asia, so it's not surprising that he would consider Russia an Asian country. Especially when you consider most of the Russians he's probably met were from Vladivostok or thereabouts (Asia).
As for me, I got all my heavy drinking out of my system when I was in the navy. The final straw was attending a wedding reception, then picking up a six-pack and deciding to make a three hour drive up to the parent's house for the weekend. I woke up the next morning with the car parked on the side of the interstate and puke on my suit. Battery was dead. Apparently I had pulled over, turned off the engine, but left the lights on. Called a tow truck and after getting my bearings right (for some reason I had been driving BACK in the direction I had come from) he took me back to his shop and gave the battery a full charge. As I backed out of his lot, I realize the left front wheel rim is canted by 20 degrees or so. To this day I have no idea how that happened. Now days, you'll be lucky if you see me drink four pints of beer in a night. Having a large span of memories wiped from your brain is a sobering (literally) consequence.

Never mind, the mother was the 62 year old. She had him at age 40.

Wow. Really?! You see family members murdered all the time?!
MODS: there has to be a typo in the article somewhere because if not, the mother had this guy when she was 9 or 10 years old.

The comments of women here are just "sour grapes" because they can't aim. ;-D
Personally, I don't see myself going to a bar just to play a urination game against a bunch of drunks. If I'm at a bar, I'm trying to impress girls, not other guys. If you're competing in the toilet, you've obviously already failed as "real men".

They've had that at KFCs in America for a few years, now. You have the option of original recipe or grilled. Grilled is the healthier of the two, though you're STILL getting a ton of calories.

Seriously? You want a news organization to NOT report the news just because you wanted to watch the game sometime later at your leisure and wanted it to be a "surprise"? That's about as selfish as a person can get.

The cries of "Don't Stop Now!!!" coming from the men's room are going to have a completely different meaning from now on.

Joe did the bare minimum necessary to absolve himself of the incident. The reason he didn't do more was to protect "The Program" from adverse publicity. He felt it was more important to protect his damned Program than to protect the kids under Sandusky's care. He's an accessory after the fact and gets no sympathy from me.

I thought the whole point of the increase was to help cover the costs of the Tohoku reconstruction?

I think Anonymous may have gone a bit too far this time. The stuff they were doing before was nickle and dime, but now they're attempting extortion on the U.S. Congress. You don't threaten to attack the Congressman's campaign donors IF the Congressman supports the SOPA. That's extortion. I think "Anonymous" is going to find out just how false their name really is.

YAY! The U.S. will not negotiate with terrorists, But extortion by internet companies and hackers is A-OK! Way to get on your hands and knees and take it where the Sun doesn't shine, Congress!

Don't tell me, tell the author. "Invisible" steam isn't going to blur a camera picture. And you said it yourself: "we all call (it) steam". If everybody is using the term, then it belongs in the definition, ね?

Hmmm. If it WAS a suicide, I would bet the penis went first, followed by the stabbings in case he didn't bleed to death just from the castration. (Puts on amateur psychologist hat) A rapist trying to repent for his past sin(s)? (Takes off amateur psychologist hat) Just plain crazy.

Should be easy to find the corium. Turn off the endoscope's light and "follow the glow".
