    The Death of Kurt Cobain

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Kurt_Cobain

    Kurt Cobain was found dead at his home located at 171 Lake Washington Boulevard in Seattle, Washington, United States on April 8, 1994. Cobain, the lead singer of the American grunge band Nirvana, had checked out of a drug rehabilitation facility and been reported suicidal by his wife Courtney Love. The Seattle Police Department incident report states that Cobain was found with a shotgun across his body, had a visible head wound and there was a suicide note discovered nearby. The King County Medical Examiner noted that there were puncture wounds on the inside of both the right and left elbow.

    What are the chances of that fault running right down the middle of that yellow line? . .Bizarre.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 33,733 ✭✭✭✭Myrddin


    Could it have been painted or put there afterwards, to signify in hi-vis where the road ends, & certain death starts?

    I don't think this is the case, if you follow the yellow line you can see that it is proper street lines.

    When roads are resurfaced they're normally done one side at a time, to allow access, thereby creating a natural split. So when something like an earthquake occurs the break will happen between the points of least resistance.

    While not earth shattering, this dog that has been seen at nearly every demonstration in Athens over the last two years, made the news!

    But that wouldnt explain all the earth being split below it. I highly doubt all that earth was dug up to build a path.

    I am probably not explaining that right, but if it were due to road resurfacing wouldnt just the tarmac crack and not all the earth below it?

    Definitely shook American Politics, whether that was right or wrong is up to you.

    Bill Clinton hugs Monica Lewinksy.

    BillskyCNN1801_468x334.jpg

    This picture was taken on November 6, 1996, the day after Clinton’s re-election to office, by an unknown photographer. When the Bill Clinton-Monica Lewinksy (Monicagate) scandal broke in 1998 this picture became much more than just a casual embrace, but rather evidence of the relationship between the two.

    From wikipedia
    Lewinsky alleged nine sexual encounters with Bill Clinton:
    November 15, 1995, in the private study of the Oval Office
    November 17, 1995, while Bill Clinton was on the phone with a member of Congress
    December 31, 1995, in a White House study
    January 7, 1996, in the Oval Office
    January 21, 1996, in the hallway by the private study next to the Oval Office
    February 4, 1996, while Clinton was meeting in the Oval Office
    March 31, 1996, in the hallway near the study of the Oval Office
    February 28, 1997, near the Oval Office, when the blue dress stains were created
    March 29, 1997 (Clinton, however, denied that this day's encounter actually happened.)

    :eek:

    This is probably the saddest picture from the japanese tsunami that i've seen. :(

    It really shows the human cost of this tragedy.
