A JAG inquiry determined that Skywalker was 'on the pipe' at the time of the incident.

More likely he was wearing the blind training helmet & trying to use the force.

Sure. Phase 3 FDA testing of a new clot-busting drug they've been developing fell through and did not show the expected results. Instant downgrades by a bunch of people, all kinds of speculation = stock price down the tube.

However, if it had been successful, the distribution contract they had with Bayer could've brought in some pretty big-time bucks.

I only had a few K locked up in it, no funds or anything like that. My coworkers wife used to work there, lots of option stock. He lost $30K, most of it was upside though

You may WANT to bring yourself to take it down and very soon....that or at least cover it a few days. Word has it she is on her death bed with Colo-rectal cancer. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. Poor woman, no matter what.

I'd say the Nissan person. Cause both sides are smashed up. That means the Honda was there first and the Nissan person squeezed in. But it was probably a Woman driver. Let the flaming begin!

The tool in the Honda. The Nissan must have been talking to the attendent, maybe asking questions and prickhead Honda lost his load. All just a guess of course...

My vote says it was the end of a police chase.

It was a stunt to see if the fat guy in the Honda could get out of his car.
Guess not.

Farrah was definitely at the top of the list at one time.....

BTW, the original Charlie's Angels had it ALL OVER the newer versions. I mean Kate Jackson, the supposedly"ugly duckling" of the original group, is way, way sexier than Drew Barrymore.

A good reason to leave the poster just where it is, IMO...

Hi Ryan,

Heard she has decided to forego further chemotherapy and left the hospital for home. I hope it is bad info but I think it is accurate. She can't be more 60 at the absolutely latest. Probably younger than that.
