Some of the things that happened this weekend which didn't involve lipstick, hurricanes or bankruptcy:
...Not all Texas lawmen can be Walker, some are just crazy...
...It's official: Porn floats...
...To boldly go where several men have gone before...
Details/links after the jump...
I cannot imagine anything more terrifying that might actually happen (space zombie rape is pretty scary, but I am not losing sleep over it). Seven miles into the longest tunnel in the world, a fire broke out on a lorry ("lorry" is a girly way to say "truck"), trapping lots of folks under the English Channel. Sylvester Stallone made a documentary about something similar once (you can find it way in the back of many Blockbusters, ironically far away from Daylight). As a former NJ-Manhattan commuter, I can empathize. I like the ferry; if something goes wrong, I can get off anytime. (UPDATE: I am told that the "chunnel" is actually the second longest in the world, next to some tunnel in Japan.)
Speaking of maritime adventures... Google has announced plans to start its own navy of computer barges anchored off-shore. Arguably, tax-evasion and power/cooling options are the motivator, but I am going to guess they are just going to put all their porn there. If they are trying to save power, great, but if they are trying to dodge regulation, it seems futile. It is only a matter of convenience that the law currently focuses on the content's geography. Simple changes in the language of the law could make the user's location the focal point which legislatures are probably happy to do if properly motivated.
Speaking of proper motivations... Some crazy sheriff in Texas has declared that the "hills have eyes"! He claims there are soldiers running around the rural parts of his border-with-Mexico county (Jim Hogg County. Seriously). They are dressed in uniform and marching around, he claims. His deputy sheriff, Guadalupe Rodriguez, says they are foreign but not drug smugglers. Doubts have been raised that clandestine military operatives would be marching around during the day in full uniform. Which is probably exactly why they did it! To get in your head, man!
Speaking of men getting into each other... Sulu got married to his long-time partner at a ceremony attended by Chekov and Uhura at the Japanese American National Museum (which is either in Japan or America or Southern California). Kirk and Spock couldn't make it, I guess, or it was just for supporting characters.
