Add some lemon juice to the melted butter. The combination makes lobster even more incredible.

And as for introducing a new person to tomalley, try spreading a bit on a small piece of toast. You'd be surprised at how quickly a person can go from "Ewwww..." to scraping the entire thoracic cavity obsessively in order to get every last bit of that ambrosia.

Actually, a fault exists where there was movement. Depending on the causes of said movement, there may indeed be the potential for future activity. Or, as is often the case with shallow normal faults in sedimentary rock, the fault could have been caused by the sediment shifting along the plane of bedrock, leaving it in a more stable position than before.

Actually, the retrofitting was supposed to be minimal. People don't realise just how much of the shuttle was removed between normal operations, so installing the missing components would actually have cost much less than converting STA-099 into Challenger.

What happened were design changes during the construction of Columbia, many of them prompted by data from Enterprise's flight tests. These changes resulted in a much lighter orbiter, and would have required a serious rebuilding of Enterprise instead of the intended basic retrofit.

"I made this half-pony/half-monkey monster to please you.
But I get the feeling that you don't like it.
What's with all the screaming?
You like monkeys; you like ponies.
Maybe you don't like monsters so much.
Maybe I used too many monkeys.
Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you?"

Submission + - Disabled People Refused Service in Massachusetts (cbslocal.com)

Unfortunately, the restaurant refused to seat them because six of the group had disabilities and used service dogs to help them get around. Despite the restaurant being in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (a federal law), as well as Massachusetts criminal law, local police refused to assist and supported the restaurant's actions."

who will prosecute the suspects? A criminal trial is expensive and ends up importing criminals to whichever nation chooses to prosecute. That's the reason that the Somali pirates get turned loose. A similar situation would arise for trans-border cyber crime. Everyone would hope that someone else would prosecute.
