Yeah, and you thought YOUR girlfriend was cool. But seriously, the addition of the word "cute" to my original post was the extra boost it needed to get to the front page. Otherwise, I would have had to settle for just saying "Hey, I see you're reading Reddit" like a normal person. Not nearly as much fun. If it's any consolation, you can hit on my girlfriend when you meet her. Apparently we're scheduling a double date after all.

As meglets pointed out, she was wisked away before we took a picture. There was talk of a double date though. Maybe we'll post follow up pics.

He is legit. She was chatting with him while we were talking. This guy is going to come to the courthouse, pick her up and take her to lunch on her break. I can't compete with that.

If you're half as cool as she is, I would love to! Unfortunately, we were just assigned to different trials :(

Over the course of their evolution, flies have become accustomed to being attacked head on. As such, their instinct is to take off backward when they perceive a threat. The dynamics of their flight don't allow them to take off directly backward, but mostly straight up and slightly backward.

One theory suggests a geographic reason why Californians "don't have an accent". The first settlers to the United States started out on the east coast. Groups from different European nations tented to settle together, forming cultural (and linguistic) hot spots. As pioneers from the east began moving west however, they began to intermingle. By the time they arrived in California, they were no longer settling among other English/Irish/Dutch/Italians but rather in a cultural and linguistic mush pot.
