Looks like one of those foam oblongs fell on the accelerator. Or pushed it on purpose! Filthy foam terrorists insinuating their way into our lives with their softness and ability to be moulded into a variety of shapes!

How dare they!

I don't understand.. Have they NEVER busted a grow house before? ever?

Seriously, it looks like a weed not pot.

"The leaves are oblong-elliptical to lanceolate, 5–10 cm long and 1.5–3 cm broad, thinly to densely tomentose, green to greyish-green above and white below....
Scent: "A peppermint-scented aroma"

white on underside of leaves, their hands reeked of peppermint...

Who could ever be this stupid? Not one single cop said... wait a minute I don't think this is weed, like I've seen on t-shirts, bumberstickers, my fucking cop training.

Who writes this shit?

California Assembly Bill HR 36 Relative to Pluto's planetary status

WHEREAS, Recent astronomical discoveries, including Pluto's oblong orbit and the sighting of a slightly larger Kuiper Belt object, have led astronomers to question the planetary status of Pluto; and

WHEREAS, The mean-spirited International Astronomical Union decided on August 24, 2006, to disrespect Pluto by stripping Pluto of its planetary status and reclassifying it as a lowly dwarf planet; and

WHEREAS, Pluto was discovered in 1930 by an American, Clyde Tombaugh, at the Lowell Observatory in Arizona, and this discovery resulted in millions of Californians being taught that Pluto was the ninth planet in the solar system; and

WHEREAS, Pluto, named after the Roman God of the underworld and affectionately sharing the name of California's most famous animated dog, has a special connection to California history and culture; and

WHEREAS, Downgrading Pluto's status will cause psychological harm to some Californians who question their place in the universe and worry about the instability of universal constants; and

WHEREAS, The deletion of Pluto as a planet renders millions of text books, museum displays, and children's refrigerator art projects obsolete, and represents a substantial unfunded mandate that must be paid by dwindling Proposition 98 education funds, thereby harming California's children and widening its budget deficits; and

WHEREAS, The deletion of Pluto as a planet is a hasty, ill-considered scientific heresy similar to questioning the Copernican theory, drawing maps of a round world, and proving the existence of the time and space continuum; and

WHEREAS, The downgrading of Pluto reduces the number of planets available for legislative leaders to hide redistricting legislation and other inconvenient political reform measures; and

WHEREAS, The California Legislature, in the closing days of the 2005-06 session, has been considering few matters important to the future of California, and the status of Pluto takes precedence and is worthy of this body's immediate attention; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Assembly of the State of California, That the Assembly hereby condemns the International Astronomical Union's decision to strip Pluto of its planetary status for its tremendous impact on the people of California and the state's long term fiscal health; and be it further

Resolved, That the Assembly Clerk shall send a copy of the resolution to the International Astronomical Union and to any Californian who, believing that his or her legislator is addressing the problems that threaten the future of the Golden State, requests a copy of the resolution.

I think it's Jesus come back in the form of an oblong blue sort of thing to mark the beginning of the rapture.


That's so stupid. Obviously God dropped a steak knife and punched a hole in the sky!

I think it's Jesus come back in the form of an oblong blue sort of thing to mark the beginning of the rapture.

I, for one, welcome our new black oblong overlords.

But seriously it's probably a solar balloon toy like this.

i'm also thinking: yes, yes it could stay on the small of her back while being vibrated...it's the stone in the bottle. it would probably work like the big ball in Taipei 101 until the beer was drained to less than half. not suggesting that stones float here... the guinness "stone" isn't a stone at all in those bottles, it's an oblong weighted piece of plastic.. so it *could* work as long as the lighter end of the oblong plastic was allowed to float. just sayin'.

I love your definition of him, you hit the nail on the head. Ahahaha @ oblong/rectangle thing...

5000 fps and it still didn't do justice to the propagation of the initial split of the balloon surface...

maybe 1.5 milliseconds? for the split to propagate the circumference of the balloon.

Maybe it's a 5" diameter baloon? The split is slightly oblong so perhaps a 17.5" circumference
Thats 0.000276199495 miles around the baloon... in 3 milliseconds..

That's 0.000276199495 * 333.333 * 60 * 60 for (miles per hour) = 332 miles per hour
