"Mary Shelley having writers block claims she was inspired by the moonlight to write Frankenstein.
Some have disputed her story about how she struggled for days to come with the story, saying that this was just a romanticized tale to hook her audience, but astronomers are now saying that she was probably not making it up.”
Astronomers from Texas State University conducted tests at the villa where she stayed that night: http://www.csmonitor.com/Science/2011/0928/Frankenstein-moon-Astronomers-vindicate-Mary-Shelley-s-account

At first it was speculation as all the sources for the release of the Super 8 screener had a paramount 2011 watermark at bottom and H. Stern in upper right.
JJ Abrams was on the Stern show and Howard of course badgered Abrams about getting a screener and moaned "How noone ever sends him screeners". So Abrams did and it seems that we know why no one sends Howie screeners.
screenshots from the Super 8 screener show the watermark
here is 3 untouched screenshots

Here is 1 screenshot brightened to make the watermark easily visible.

According to the source
"Studio insiders that Paramount indeed made a copy of Super 8 for the Stern show and that one was leaked. The studio has already conducted its own investigation. "
Will be interesting since Howard Stern show has been on vacation and only response from his camp is from his hair stylist Ralph on twitter claims he wasn't responsible.

Teens can easily verify their Second Life accounts as Adult Verified allowing them full access to Second Life's adult grid and adult areas. This bug has existed for years and Linden Labs has never fixed it. With the recent rumor of the Teen and Adult grids merging this could be a big problem. This site shows how teens can verify as adult. With Lindens recent talk of their filtering process being able to keep teens from entering adult oriented areas, this only proves that a long lasting bug that has been brought to Lindens time and time again and bug reports filed on and off for past 2 years has never been fixed and any teen can simply use this method mentioned here to bypass and easily verify their account as an adult.
