Sam Altman SPITROASTED by three men in a NYT restroom whilst FRYING HIS GIBLETS in their angry mouths.

(I thought I'd follow up, but worse - sorry)

okay, so build more batteries

The EU only validates the signatures once the petition is closed

Ah, makes sense - thanks for this

EU one requires an ID/passport, UK one doesn't -- I'd argue that the EU one is safe and the UK one should get more attention on the validitiy

So I was reading up about it a little, and apparently the lady did get some kind of spoken agreement from the priest that she could restore it:

"(The) priest knew it! He did! How could you do something like that without permission? He knew it!"

That being said, the piece is getting so much attention that the little church is raking in donations, and the woman is now sueing for a piece of the pie:

The story about "Carl Twinly" is a work of fiction. However, the mugshot shown above is real. It was taken in 2008 and shows a woman who was arrested in Middleton, Ohio. According to Fox 19, she had been hired to dress up as a cow to promote a local haunted trail. She was arrested on suspicion of disorderly conduct after she allegedly got drunk, chased some children, and interrupted traffic.

Fox 19 reported: "A Middletown woman is behind bars, charged with disorderly conduct after she was arrested while wearing a cow suit ... Police say Michelle Allen was getting in the way of traffic and chasing children while wearing her cow suit. She's also accused of urinating on a neighbor's front porch."
