Topless Female Sunbathers: Register As Sex Offenders?
We've already had moral questions regarding topless sunbathing. What I didn't know is that there are growing legal issues on the subject that are affecting other legal issues such as Megan's Law. Surely grown-ups can do the right thing and work this out. I'd hate to see it turn into a cheap media toy that takes the focus off keeping children safe.

All Your Base Are Belong...
I don't usually make fun of people who are ESL, because I don't speak any other languages fluently. But I do believe that spam spewers are fair game because they interrupted my day with their drivel. So I loved this mix of ethnic expressions and bad grammar that appeared in my email box yesterday. (My snide comments are in red italics.)

Dear sir (You had a 50/50 chance, and you failed)There was more to the email, but I think the spammer and I have both had enough fun with each other for one day.
Top of the day to you, (Well, I am part Irish.)
My Names are Dr. Kevin Maxwell. (So, that's three names, right? Dr., Kevin and Maxwell?)
I want to solicit for your assistance to become (are you being paid by the word to write this?) my representative overseas. (I'd love to travel overseas. Please send round-trip tickets for myself and a traveling companion.) Payments will be made through you for the services i have rendered. (In God we trust. All others pay cash. My traveling companion will hold both your kneecaps as collateral in case you go back on the promise of payment you just made to me in this email.)
