GORGEOUS!
(IoTD maybe?)

I've always loved pigs and always wanted to eat them - no dichotomy for me.
As I get older however I am less fond of me - it's so much more apparently flesh to me.

Or maybe that's the anti-depressants.

That'd make a good County Fair food: Pig on a Stick.

sorry undertoad. I don't know how to search to make sure something hasn't been used before.


Fantasy art . The images are quite good and I am not really into the stuff but these are a little unique.

Nice pictures...I kept a few as fodder for my random wallpaper generator. I just wish they were captioned in english so I know what I'm looking at.

I'm glad you liked those. I noticed too I couldn't read them either Brian.

Free Criminal Background Checks

I found this after reading an article. This free site ties together public information on everything from traffic violations to assaults from every state.

Not everything is on there, but I have found one person I know and one Cellarite on the database.

www.criminalsearches.com


I tried some celebrity arrests.

Kenneth Lay's federal conviction did not show, but some other violations did.
Mike Tyson only had three offenses.
Britney Spears has no arrests.

I did find this one from Texas, but the birth date is off by 7 months.

Man, don't go searching in that database lightly. I just found a friend on there, on charges I knew nothing about. That turned my evening rather uncomfortable...

I'm not in there, despite several traffic tickets over my life.

There are several entries under my name but different race/age/location for offenses ranging from fishing w/o a license to theft and carrying an unlicensed weapon.

Not too accurate, IMO.

Meh...there are forty thousand million people with my name. My murderous rampage arrest never even made the list.

I think I'll refrain from prying into cellar dwellar's lives, though. Seems like it's none of my bidness.

My namesake has 4 traffic offenses...

I can see how it would be fascinating if there was a chance I'd see someone I actually knew. But then perhaps Clod is right. I'm too nosey for my own good and would keep looking til I found something I didn't want to see!

It says on the main page that some states include traffic offenses in their reports and some don't.

And despite my own admonition, I kept playing with it, and found two of Mr. Clod's previous coworkers as well. I guess the reporting for Texas is more thorough.
