@tsarstepan,
I seen that. I suppose there will be more follow up by interested parties -
@edgarblythe,
heh. If she had just acted casual about it, woulda been no big thing.
The actual hair rubbing could of just looked friendly. Her response tipped it off.
At 68 he plans another Rocky and another Rambo.
A group of tourists spent hours Saturday night looking for a missing woman near Iceland's Eldgja canyon, only to find her among the search party.
The group was travelling through Iceland on a tour bus and stopped near the volcanic canyon in the southern highlands Saturday afternoon, reports the Icelandic news organization mbl.is.
One of the women on the bus left to change her clothes and freshen up. When she came back, her busmates didn't recognize her.
Soon, there was word of a missing passenger. The woman didn't recognize the description of herself, and joined in the search.
About 50 people searched the terrain by vehicles and on foot. The coast guard was even readying a helicopter to help.
But the search was called off at about 3 a.m., when it became clear the missing woman was, in fact, accounted for and searching for herself.
@edgarblythe,
It's alway nice to find yourself.
Gives new meaning to the words, "I was lost but now I'm found."
No humor -
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (Reuters) - A New Mexico man who thought he hit the jackpot with a scratch-off instant lottery ticket will not be getting the $500,000 he believed he had won, after officials determined that matches were due to a printing malfunction, a lottery official said on Tuesday.
New Mexico Lottery spokeswoman Linda Hamlin said the ticket John Wines bought for $20 at a gas station in Roswell, New Mexico, in December was defective. Wines thought he won $500,000, but a scan of the image's barcode said the card, for the Ruby 7s game, was not a winner.
In that game, a player scratches two winning numbers at the top of an 8-inch long card, Hamlin said. The player then has 25 boxes to find a match to one of the winning numbers and learn how much it is worth.
Hamlin said a blocked ink jet caused one digit of a number to be obscured on Wines' card, leading him to erroneously believe he had won.
“Nowhere in the play area did any of the winning numbers come up,” Hamlin said, adding that lottery security agents reviewed the ticket and compared it with the original image at the printer and determined there was no match.
Wines, who could not immediately be reached for comment, has expressed disappointment with the decision not to pay him what he believed he had won.
“I mean, if you thought you won $500,000 and somebody tells you that you didn’t, and you can prove to them you did, it’s pretty stressful for somebody to say, ‘No you’re not getting your money,’” Wines told local television station KOB, an NBC affiliate.
Hamlin said if the New Mexico Lottery is presented with a winning ticket the agency pays it.
“Last week we had a woman come in with the bottom of a ticket torn off thinking she had won $1,000,” Hamlin said. “Our security staff checked the imprint at the printer, just as what had been done for Mr. Wines, and we discovered she had actually won a $50,000 prize and we wrote her a check right there.”
Did you see the look on that goats face? He's not even sorry!
I love the little girl next to the birthday boy. She's like WTH's wrong with you? Oh look, cupcakes.
Re the corndog, I can identify with this kids horror. I had my first one when I was in my 40's. Wally and I were at a mall, and on a whim, he bought us both one. I'm happily nibbling away, walking along, and suddenly I said "Holy ****, there's a hot dog in here!" I hate hot dogs.
I never gave any thought why they were called corn dogs. I'm stupid that way.
@chai2,
I think the kid on the left with a knitted hat deserves his own meme.
