A post so nice, you put it up twice.

No, Mr. Poe -- you aren't seeing double from your alcoholic lunch...

Whew, that was close, Napoleon.

Yeah, um, we were talking about the SR-520 bridge sinking ...

When will they be running the Monorail down the Viaduct, again?

So comforting to know that the Fibbies are watching. (Note: Don't call them that, they hate it.) Really, though, you have nothing to worry about until your phone goes "click click click click" every time you pick it up. Hey, who knows, maybe they've even gotten better technology in the last 30 years that doesn't do that any more.

the mainframe informed them that there was a disturbance


or that "FBI" and "Pakistan" had appeared numerous times somewhere. DataMining is real.

Or, they were just returning your call. Announcing that the FBI reads is pretty self congratulatory for a coincidence.

Better kiss those fingernails good-bye, Napoleon XIV.

Grasping at straws, in other words.

Agree with 12. Great thinking asking them about the Madrid train bombings.

Gmail data-mines my e-mails, and tells me in advertisements that I'm in the market for condo property in North Carolina.

If this is the state of the technology, we're all screwed.

Agree with @13--No one expects the Spanish Inquisition.

I am glad that the FBI are out there looking for some intelligence. I hope they find some.
