Is this news?

If you care to look at the ground beneath your feet with a microscope, you may observe that our immortal giant invisible overlords have been using this storage mechanism for 4 billion years already.

Unhappy

and in similar news

Can't remember how it came about but I did an innocent keyword search on Google and was intrigued by a link, which I followed and it took me to some site with a whole scene going on with rape video games. Sick, I thought.

a pox on you

I can laugh about it now, but once many years ago I emailed Google when I found a time-wasting website which wasn't what it purported to be, expecting them to remove it or something.

How hard could it be for Google to police their anti-virus search results so that poor users aren't suckered by all the lookalike scams?

Gary, if you're going underground, I'm sure plenty of folks would send you money every month for your food and false moustaches etc.

It's rude to take people's pictures if they don't want you to. Being a photographer just means you don't care about being rude, and therefore should get thumped regularly.

International manhunt tracks pedophile suspect to Thailand

David

@several

"I think you've missed the point about being a pedophile English teacher in Thailand; he's certainly teaching kids."

I think the point was that pedophiles aren't into child-abuse whilst paedophiles are.
