Late night open thread
Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey:
"When I was a kid, my favorite relative was Uncle Caveman. After school we'd all go play in his cave, and every once in awhile he would eat one of us. It wasn't until later that I found out that Uncle Caveman was a bear."

Long ago the dreamers and schemers had plans for New York City
The New York Times has a short but darned interesting look at plans the movers and shakers of their day had for NYC. One idea? Drain and dam the East River replacing it with "a five-mile-long network of vehicular and train tunnels topped by boulevards and promenades." Another visionary saw 250 story skyscrapers.
It's worth a look on a sunny Sunday morning.

A state police report says there is plenty of gang activity to go around here in the Garden State
An in-depth report by the New Jersey State Police says that there are active gangs in no less than half the municipalities and ALL 21 counties in New Jersey. The report breaks down 9 active gangs in Jersey City, 6 in Hoboken, 5 in both Weehawken and Bayonne while our friends in Union City come out on top with 18 gangs.
Luckily, New Jersey residents can fight back. Beginning in 2011 the legal bag limit on gang members is now 3, up from 2 last year. So feel free to pop an extra Latin Kings or MS-13 or Bloods or Crips or Hot Girls member but just make sure they are properly tagged and field dressed and brought to your local city hall. Just don't go over your limit of 3 gang members or they might cry.

Johnny's neighbor pulled him aside tonight and asked if he'd heard about yet another possible snowstorm on Tuesday night into Wednesday. Johnny decided against choking him to death.
