I used to have a crystal radio that worked perfectly without a battery. That's the miracle of crystal power.
I don't why crystal healing seems stupider when the patient's a computer.

Hmm.... We have two recent developments locally: pharmacists are permitted to give flu shots and there are a lot of halal restaurants. Stand by while I put two and two together...

And yet "British English" itself doesn't have universal pronunciation standards. "Mom" , pronounced "mawm" in the US, is often pronounced "mum" in Britain (and spelled that way too) but it can also be pronounced "Moom" (rhymes with "book"). "Book" can be pronounced "booook" (rhymes with the Canadian "tuque", which in the US is pronounced "hat". )
In British English they wouldn't be considered separate sounds.

I thought some of the errors were intentional ("Cliton", the wannabe "dicktator") until I came to "ankchous". Pretty intelligent of him to write in code instead of any language known to man. I don't think I could have written that. I like the "square pants".

As I understand it, the DNA evidence has exonerated every member of the Ramsey family. Is it illegal to murder your sister because she ate a piece of your pineapple snack? Apparently not if your last name is Ramsey and you live in Bolder CO. Or are you nominating yourself as Loony of the Week?

So somebody else touched JonBenet but the family is still suspect? Come on. That's like saying that evidence for evolution is not evidence against creationism.
That kind of evidence might implicate someone, but it is dubious as evidence to clear any particular person or persons.

We seem to be operating on completely different sets of facts. I would have said that the family theory doesn't pass the smell test and Burke had neither motive nor means. The family is still suspect because the intruder theory does not pass the smell test and just about all involved in the investigation believed it was contrived. But maybe you know something I don't know.

You could convince a grand jury to indict Napoleon for killing Jesus. The DA refused to prosecute because there was no case. ... the grand jury did in fact come back with a motion to indite them, yet the DA at the time refused to charge them. The whole thing reminds me of "Who shot JFK?" and "Did we really put a man on the moon?". It's just a rehash of the same old nonsense.

So there's no actual evidence, just suspicion. Classical conspiracy theory.
If this is not enough to warrant suspicion I don't know what is.

Yes, there's often a conspiracy to discredit conspiracy theorists. Funny how that works.
It seems to also be a common ploy to discredit someone with legitimate criticisms.

So the Boulder police are not mind-numbingly incompetent in every case? Good to know.
~1.6 does have a point in that the Ramseys were treated differently from the average case.

No doubt they will add the disclaimer, "If it be thy will," which not only makes the request redundant but also serves as an escape clause when the prayer isn't answered.
What specifically are they going to ask for?

I move that Loony of the Week be suspended for the next four years due to unfair competition.
