The next GMC Suburban design will not look like a tank when seen from several hundred feet above

I vaguely remember hearing a very watered-down version of this story when it happened. But obviously, I did not see the picture that shows what fire from an F-16's 20 mm cannon does to a suburban that has wandered on to a live testing range (no one was seriously hurt, thankfully):

That's what most assessors would call a total loss.

Throw your CPAP machine to the aboriginal gods!

A recent (2006) randomized controlled trial in Switzerland found that didgeridoo playing helps reduce daytime sleepiness, partner sleep disturbances, and the apnea-hypopnea index in patients with moderate sleep apnea.

Who wouldn't want to trade this

for this?
