Seventh Circuit Rules Dungeons & Dragons A Threat to Prison Security « Above the Law: A Legal Tabloid - News, Gossip, and Colorful Commentary on Law Firms and the Legal Profession Predictably, I used to play Dungeons & Dragons in high school. Just as predictably, I didn’t lose my virginity until I stopped. It’s an established fact that Dungeons & Dragons is a bigger threat to human reproduction than all the gay marriages in the world. But I did not know until this day that D&D could also pose a security risk. Why did the prison guards take away this guy’s D&D paraphernalia? Waupun’s long-serving Disruptive Group Coordinator, Captain Bruce Muraski, received an anonymous letter from an inmate. Singer sued the prison for violating his First Amendment rights. Does that mean we get to hear the Seventh Circuit argue that D&D is gang-like? Singer collected the affidavits of numerous prisoners and statements by three role-playing-game “experts” (i.e., eunuchs), who all stated that that Dungeons & Dragons is not a gang. Look, I know the title “dungeon master” sounds scary and important. But the Seventh Circuit bought Muraski’s logic: I guess that is our right. Singer v.

The proper answer to this, of course, is: “I’m sorry if I have been a bit distant my darling. I was just reflecting on what an amazing woman you are, and how lucky I am to have met you.” This response obviously bears no resemblance to the true answer, which most likely is one of the following: a. Nothing b. Football c. Perhaps the best response to this question was offered by Al Bundy, who once told Peg: “If I wanted you to know what I was thinking, I would be talking to you.” Question 2: Do you love me? The proper response is: “YES” or, if you feel a more detailed answer is necessary: “Yes, dear.” Inappropriate responses include: a. Question 3: Do I look fat? The correct answer: “Of course not!!” The incorrect answers are: a. Question 4: Do you think she is prettier than me? Once again, the proper response is: “Of course not!!” Incorrect responses include: a. Question 5: What would you do if I died? Hope this helped.
Emotion Fractal Given a rectangular area defined by two points, that of the upper left and lower right corners, place an arbitrarily sized word anywhere within it. Further subdivide the remaining area into rectangles and repeat the process for each. The result is a region of space completely filled with increasingly smaller type. The actual word placed is randomly determined, taken from a predefined list of English words. I particularly enjoy this algorithm.
Raymond Robinson (Green Man) Raymond "Ray" Robinson (October 29, 1910 – June 11, 1985) was a severely disfigured man whose years of nighttime walks made him into a figure of urban legend in western Pennsylvania. Robinson was so badly injured in a childhood electrical accident that he could not go out in public without fear of creating a panic, so he went for long walks at night. Local residents, who would drive along his road in hopes of meeting him, called him The Green Man or Charlie No-Face. They passed on tales about him to their children and grandchildren, and people raised on these tales are sometimes surprised to discover that he was a real person who was liked by his family and neighbors.[1] Robinson was eight years old when he was injured by an electrical line on the Morado Bridge, outside of Beaver Falls, while attempting to view a bird's nest. Robinson became a local myth in the Pittsburgh area, and his real story was obscured by urban legend.
