Wow, lawyers

I got SIXTEEN pieces of mail from lawyers and chiropractors yesterday. Either Nationwide has an open db of claim information or the police do, and I don't think the police do.

Tomorrow I talk to the Nationwide...

26 and not any wiser.

... machine did all the work. Now I'm off to the Outlaws Thanksgiving Potluck at Gautam's house. And no, I'm definitely not any wiser, if you wondered how I feel being 26. I might be shedding wisdom, actually. * The faculty require us to take this Legal Aspects of Planning course because they want planners to be able to talk to lawyers and know when they are and aren't bullshitting. Seriously.

... Hat takes note of the ubiquity of Hungarians. Language Log's Mark Liberman really doesn't like the idea that differences in landscape necessarily translate into huge differences in language and meaning. Lawyers, Guns and Money's Sek rightly despairs for Camille Paglia's good sense. Erin's Lost & Found, heavy on art, features an excellent picture of me . Marginal Revolution hosts a ...

Holding the Law Hostage

... law of Liberia, or at least the physical version, is his intellectual property, and is refusing to let the government to which they pertain print any copies. Emails reveal that he and the team of lawyers who codified the property are willing to relinquish their copyright for a sum of money to pay their costs, somewhere between $150,000 and $360,000. The government of Liberia, at the moment, isn't...

.... I walked the length of Piccadilly past the eponymous circus and Leicester Square ([lʌɪstɚ], in my more American phonemes), eventually worming my way to High Holborn and Lincoln's Inn Fields, in search of the lawyers' office at 62 New Square in Lincoln's Inn. When I got there, Lincoln's Inn ended up being sort of like a Harvard-style (or John-Carroll-style) enclosed quad whose few entrances all ...

Don’t make me get the lawyers involved.” “Why stop now? You’ve been gunning after my salary for years.” Jordan squeezed her eyes shut tightly. “I’m still coming to get them this afternoon.

Irony and Gaming

... a paragraph about them. Everything gets converted to an ability. Not from a list, but just what it is. It relies on a mature freeform understanding of gaming and would be totally out of place with rules lawyers. You don't have a +2 sword that you got from killing shit. You instead, as part of your creation, say that you inherited a sword from your grandfather who was a great Priest of Orlanth and...

Oh lawyers! A stupid white man thinks it's appropriate to ask about women's vaginas, say they prepare food with cats and dogs, and also to do sexual pranks with cucumbers. People advertise for a law assistant...and nanny!
