      No. He has shown up with dupe accounts at different times of the year before.

        Lol. No. It means they were hunting for some worms.

Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

            No, it means you live in North America.

              This guy's wife is missing and his search history shows he googled "How to dispose of 115 pounds woman's body". I'm no criminal mastermind, but I've watched enough Dateline to know that before you make that search you need to drive at least two states away, steal a laptop, find a library and use its wifi to make the search. Duh.

                And even more!!

                “Ten ways to dispose of a dead body if you really need to”
                “dismemberment and the best ways to dispose of a body”
                “can you be charged with murder without a body”
                “can you identify a body with broken teeth”

                It's a truly awful story, but I admit I laughed when I read "if you really need to". I guess as opposed to disposing a body if you just kind of feel like it?

                And "Ten ways"??

                  There was a time some of my internet searches probably raised some flags for the FEDs. Combat engineers like to research blowing things up. And when you're looking for ways to make the training interesting for the younger troops, certain key words are going to be used.

                        Ha! That's exactly what I was thinking. "Number 8 is going to surprise you!" or "You'll never guess what #7 is!"

                          This is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen.

                          Hetero couples of adopted and killed kids before. Better not let any hetero couples adopt kids.

                          Applying this rule to every situation - any demographic that has had a member do something horrible now has to be eliminated from participating in that thing? If a white dude has ever shot someone, no more white dudes owning guns. If a blond woman has ever driven drunk, no more blond women drinking alcohol or driving cars?

                          So dumb.

                            I am spoiled. Just picked up a prescription at the pharmacy and I hear them telling someone, "that'll be a $68.24 copay." I never pay a dime for mine.

                              How is it that in about every western I've seen, if there's ever a horse chase - the person chasing catches up. They just do. The most recent example is I've been watching 1883 - and I swear that every time there's a chase, the chasers catch up. Episode I saw yesterday has a group of good guys come across a group of bandits, then the bandits start shooting and give chase. The bandits look like they are easily 200 yards away or more when it starts - far enough that most of the good guys can run for a few seconds, then have time to pull up, hop off the their horses, pull out rifles, and get set up on the ground before the bandits appear and the shooting starts.

                              With the good guys is a girl on a fast horse - they've made a point that it's fast and she rides fast as earlier she beats an Indian in a horse race. So she's got a lead of maybe 200 yards or more. Bandits have someone shooting at them, the other good guys who stopped and got down to fight from the ground. She's on a fast horse. And - before you know it there's a group of 3 or 4 bandits who have caught up to her and are now only 15 yards or so behind her.

                              I'm going to start paying closer attention with other westerns when I watch them now to see how often the person being chased gets away. I remember one scene in Tombstone where the bad guys get away in a horse chase - but that's partially because the "cowboys" drop their red scarves and the good guys pull up on the chase.

                                Butch and Sundance get away in Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid. Trackers track them down over the long run, but they still get away, all the way to Bolivia.
