Two days of catchup
There is so much awesome in this linkspam that it can barely be contained.
Eyewitness Photos of Hudson River Plane Crash [Photo Gallery]; Hudson Plane Crash Survivor: 'Scary as Shit'; Passenger: 'It seemed like it lasted an eternity'; The Joy of a Disaster Averted.
Pilot’s 3-Day Run From Ruin Comes to an End; Mistakes unraveled fleeing Indiana pilot Marcus Schrenker's escape; Feds file two charges against fugitive pilot Marcus Schrenker; Runaway pilot awaits doctors' orders.
State of the Plagiarism: It's been a year since the Cassie Edwards plagiarism scandal, and somehow people still want to punish the whistleblowers rather than the wrongdoer (including the logically specious statement, "Isn’t it enough that you people set out to destroy her career and almost caused her death?"). In response, NORA ROBERTS RIDES AGAIN.
From caitlen: The best line in the worst comic ever. Beats "I'm the goddamn Batman" with one hand behind its back. Warning: Is not safe for work or life or brains.
yuki_onna: Clean your damn apartments, guys: "Batman does not live in an apartment with a broken futon and a dusty TV, guys. None of the greats do. This is your lair. Treat it with respect."
nihilistic_kid: Every "Extreme horror" story ever written and Every "Quiet Horror" Story Ever Written (" 'The Horror Of Horrorville' by F. Streetname Whitebread"). I have to admit, I was totally guilty of a "Sometimes the branches look like hands to me" line with "The Hot Door."
If you're going to NY Comic-Con, I suggest you try to pick up the exclusive "Forging Excalibur" Lara Croft doll at the Tonner booth. (I don't actually have a page link for it.) Someone's going to asshat-resell them; it might as well be you.
