"Heartwarming kitten found murdered -- Film at 11"

It just might have had something to do with being involved in a high speed chase, smashing into several other vehicles and then finally hitting a large metal pole sideways.

While some popular US vehicles might be able to drive away from that kind of collision, it seems that the Tesla model S isn't in the same league as far as survivability goes.

Just like /. posters are world famous for being able to remain on topic.

If by "some blogger" you mean "Kent Police Assistant Chief Constable Allyn Thomas" and by "wrote something" you mean "issued an official statement, which was reprinted in full at the bottom of the article", then yes, that is what happened. The rest of your claim doesn't seem to follow from that.

This is England. Being taller than a police officer is a crime there.

I don't see why not.

But on the other hand, it's a new and convenient place to keep pr0n.

How much is that in Volkswagens? And how fast is it travelling relative to imperial standard sheep? Can you measure the kinetic energy in terms of double-decker busses?

When I grow up, I'm going to Bovine University!

The problem is that you were interviewing him for a job working with "Clipper", which he had almost no experience in.

If you had asked about adjusting the settings on his "#3 Clipper", which allowed him to produce anything from centimetre long shag to a 1 mm buzz cut, then you would have been amazed at how much he knew.

I noticed that the guy who wrote their slideshow code wasn't on the list.

I hate to get in the way of a good rant, but the players in this little drama are all Canadian.

As you may know, Canadians are notorious for ignoring the US Constitution.

I'm pretty sure he was thinking of the sixty four year long legal battle between S-Cape Artists Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel and DC Comics over just who owned Superman, without which DC comics could write Superman comics and sell them as such without paying a dime to the original creators.
