Website Links, Part II

Greetings and welcome back to the Un-Zone, the site for all things Un.

It's time to update and it's the return of website links that I found interesting.

The first up is near and dear to my heart as a law school student at it involves drug dealers or drug users , the number one topic of Criminal Procedure cases. Their turn of bad luck is too funny to believe: a brick of cocaine fell out of a window and landed in front of a police officer who happened to walk by.

With the emphasis on security at airports, one would expect flight attendants to know what items are not allowed onto airplanes. Apparently, one flight attendant decided to bring aboard a grenade. A grenade she thought would make for a cool gift for her son. Thankfully, the grenade was not a live grenade but a dud she bought at an army surplus store. Her common sense was a dud also.

The 101 Dumbest moments in Business as decided by CNN. Who wouldn't want to live in a condo that used to be a mental institution?

A professor who ranks "America's Whitest Law Schools." I'm not sure what to make of this. See Chapter Six for the complete rankings.

Does it really cost nearly $1,000 to buy a toaster? Does a deep-fat fryer cost $5,500? Apparently the Pentagon thinks so. Despite being able to buy a comparable toaster for only around $800 and the fryer for about $2,000. I guess these products were combat ready, sort of like body armor...
