Way to go NASA, you and your earth-shattering ability to name things couldn’t have at least called it Earth 2?

I approve this name change
As a fan of dinosaurs for all of my life, would I change my name to one akin to them? No, but then again, I’m not formerly Tyler Gold.
Now, all the man formerly known as Tyler Gold has to do is become an astronaut and he’s set.
Tattoo discrimination? In the Japan? I mean, in Japan?
In Japan, tattoos have long been associated with the Yakuza. Partly due to safety reasons, even today public places such as bathhouses and gyms have banned people bearing large tattoos from entering their premises. Now, tattooed city employees are also being subjected to new employment restrictions.
Osaka Major Toru Hashimoto, who has a long history of making controversial decisions, has ordered all public servants to fill out a form on which they must specify where in their bodies they have been tattooed. Employees with any visible marking could potentially be excluded from jobs where they will be in direct contact with the public.
Hashimoto claims that the new policy is part of strategy to safeguard the credibility of government services, but union officials are calling the move discriminatory. Some Japanese are concerned about the form being illegal and in violation of the employees’ human rights. About 38,000 city employees could be affected by the ordinance. We at SG, especially Rick Snee, call it A-OK.
When truck balls are illegal …
South Carolina has no balls–at least their trucks don’t. That’s because they’ve outlawed them. Those plastic testicle-looking things that some of our classier citizens hang on the back of their pick-up trucks to assure that their vehicle is no lady are illegal in the state. But one man is prepared to go balls-out against the police.
A man in South Carolina was ticketed for displaying truck genitals, and it’s the second time such a thing has happened in the state this year. It’s only a matter of time before police start cracking down on truck nuts statewide.
If drivers are so concerned about showing their trucks’ masculinity and heterosexuality, then why are so eager to hop inside them and take them for a ride?
