Scottish MP on trial for lying
Here's a fascinating case. A Member of Parliament actually being taken to court for lying - and in his defence, admitting that he lied, but arguing that's just something politicians do, so he shouldn't be held to account for it.

B.O.G. Memorial Game
Hilariously B.O.G. received the banhammer today. I vote we have a game in to celebrate his passing / mourn his loss / thank the Mods for purging him from our midsts.

@Octavious: I think he wanted two cows in principle, just never expected to actually get them for real. Possible case of (Michael) Foot & Mouth disease detected.

2ndWhiteLine CAPITALISM You have two cows. You promise one of them to an ally in return for one of theirs. Theirs arrives, you apologise for not having one to give him as you've promised it to neighbour 2. Meanwhile you've sold a cow to neighbour 2 in two years time in return for prepayment. You trouser the money, then your rustlers grab HIS cows and when two years is up, give him one of his back. Now you have four cows: when neighbour 1 complains you stampede them over the top of him taking his remaining cow. With 5 cows you tell neighbour 2 to give you his last cow or else...

CONSERVATISM: You have three cows. One is black, one is brown, and one is white. You chide your cows for taking handouts of hay. The black cow gets upset when you give it a brand, so you shoot it. The brown cow is eating some of the white cow's hay, so you build a fence to separate them. Then you give the white cow all the hay. When the white cow gets sick from eating too much hay, you refuse to call the vet. The cow gets better, but can no longer produce milk after the udder was removed due to an infection. You chide the cow for not working hard enough to overcome this disability. After your hay fields grow fallow due to a prolonged drought, you switch to feeding the cow grain. Luckily, you built a pyramid to store all your grain, so you have plenty to feed your cow with extra grain to spare. Meanwhile, the brown cow is very hungry, so it breaks through the fence to eat some grain and bring some back to its cow family on the other side of the fence. You return the cow to the other side of the fence, replace the fence with a wall, and hire a dozen mercenaries to patrol the wall carrying machine guns. Eventually, all your spending on defense means you can no longer afford to hire farm hands to help you grow grain, so your white cow has less to eat, so it produces less milk. This makes you angry, so you yell at the cow to make more milk while also lowering grain rations. When one of your calves is attacked and killed by a wolf, you angrily demand that the white cow turn over all its emails and you form a committee to investigate the death.

Why the college football Playoff committee should be fired
Biggest cause for concern I have in year 2 of this so called "system" is that for the first 4 weeks of these people sitting down to rank everyone they come up with even worse logic than the coaches and AP polls.
I realize you cant get everything right all the time, but this years first ranking feels more like a house of cards just begging to be knocked down.
