Overnight Open Thread (4-2-2014)Another Random Act of Bill Murray-ness In recent years a whole genre of stories of Bill Murray's random acts of friendliness has sprung up on the internet. Apparently Bill just enjoys making people's days and giving them a thrill as well as a good story to tell others. Assuming anyone will ever believe it. Some of these stories go back to the 70s and 80s so this seems to be part of his nature rather than anything new. Because you never know when Bill might show up and join your kickball game, serve drinks at a random bar, do your dishes after a party, or sing karaoke with you for four hours. And this weekend he helped give a wounded Marine a night he won't forget: Over the weekend, we traveled to St. Augustine, Florida, for Bill's annual Murray Bros. Caddyshack Charity Golf Tournament when I noticed a Random Act of Murray happen right in front of me. Oh and here are some more interesting facts about Bill Murray. He never had an agent or manager, and he still doesn't today. You track down Bill on the phone, or his friend's answering machine, and forge a type of 'gentleman's agreement'. Then you cross your fingers that he shows up. In the case of Meatballs, nobody knew if he'd show up or not. Bill arrived on the first day of filming with an entire wardrobe of Hawaiian shirts (all of which he owned). These shirts would become his wardrobe for the entire movie. Bill Murray paid for the helicopter scene in Rushmore. How the helicopter scene in Max's Vietnam War-themed play cost $25,000, I have no idea, but it did and Disney didn't want to front the cost for it. Bill knew it was important to the script. Being the awesome human being that he is, Murray wrote Anderson a check to cover the costs. This story gets even more awesome when you find out Bill Murray was only paid $9,000 for doing the entire film. Bill basically paid $16,000 to be in the film.
So When Were US Military Bases Disarmed? According to Snopes it was a Department of Defense directive in February 1992 that limited who could carry firearms on a military base. Most likely this was due to the spate of post office and workplace shootings around this time. A change in U.S. Army regulations issued in March 1993 (just two months after President Clinton assumed office) did affect the issue of personnel carrying firearms on military bases, but that change in regulations was issued by the Department of the Army and was not implemented by President Clinton via an executive order. Moreover, that change in regulations came about in response to a U.S. Department of Defense directive issued in February 1992, during the presidency of George H.W. Bush, and not at the sole behest of President Clinton. Over 600 People Walk by Two Lost Girls: Can You Blame Them? Well given that the article did not include the video of people actually walking by I'm not going to criticize the passer-bys too much since body language and the overall situation can make a big difference in whether someone sees it as a serious situation or not. And I'm willing to cut the guys slack given how insanely paranoid Britain has become about pedophiles. When your entire life could be permanently ruined by approaching an unrelated child, it's asking a bit much for men to jump in when there's no clear immanent risk to life. But the women and couples didn't have this excuse. The Three Religions of the West: Judaism, Christianity, and Environmentalism Though radical environmentalism is still a young religion - a successor to the fascism of the first half of the 20th century and the romanticism of the 19th century, it bears another trait with other religions in their early days: a desire to shout death and imprisonment to the non-believers, Jonah Goldberg adds today in USA Today. Will State ObamaCare Programs Be Just an Extension of the Democratic Party? Of course they will. A local couple called 10News concerned after they received an envelope from the state's Obamacare website, Covered California. Inside was a letter discussing voter registration and a registration card pre-marked with an "x" in the box next to Democratic Party. Also: California to Open DMV Facilities for Illegals Only Tip for Teens: Don't Assault Someone With a Deadly Weapon or They Might Shoot Back With a Deadlier Weapon When the RPG-29 round hits, its first warhead of the tandem pair initiates on the rear of the engine deck, and the main shaped charge fires seemingly instantaneously. The Vampir's warhead has over double the penetration of the common PG-7V round for the RPG-7. The crew? They stand no chance as the round ignites the tank's ready ammunition. The temperature and pressure inside the fighting compartment (and the driver's compartment, which is not isolated from it) are instantly more like the inside of a gun barrel than a shirtsleeve environment.
