NYPD pilots flew $4M plane in penis-shaped route to troll boss [/url] Five NYPD pilots were so angry at their supervisor that they used a $4 million, federally funded spy plane to fly a route shaped like a giant penis, The Post has learned. Inspector James Coan, head of the Aviation Unit, learned of the phallic airborne artwork from his minions, who discovered the lewd pattern on the department’s flight-tracking software, sources said. He alerted NYPD brass, and the pilots were disciplined following a departmental hearing — with two getting bounced from the unit. The raunchy route came amid a feud between the pilots and Coan over whether the single-engine Cessna was safe to fly over open water — which is why the feds paid for it in the first place, according to the sources. In July 2017, pilots were told to fly at low altitudes over open water 25 miles offshore so they could scan ships for radiological weapons. “If that prop [propeller plane] goes, it’s over. You’re going to crash into the ocean,” a source said they warned their boss, Coan. “They wouldn’t have enough glide time to get back to land at that altitude. It was like a suicide mission.” The low-altitude flights also left them out of radar and radio range, sources added. The pilots’ pushback intensified this past March, when Coan ordered them to make the runs more frequently, sources said. Amid their protests, five flyboys took the plane up and flew the penis-shaped route. Supervisors on the ground saw the phallic flight path while tracking the plane and raised the issue with Coan. In total, a dozen pilots have questioned the wisdom of flying a single-engine plane so far out over open water, sources said. Eight of them — including the five penis-drawing pilots — were stripped of their flight gear and made to clean plane hangars and wash Coan’s department car, according to sources. “Any of the people who complained about the mission — they got the s–t end of the stick,” a source said. “They had to do all these menial tasks outside their job description, including washing his car.” NYPD pilots average more than $100,000 a year in pay, according to records posted on SeeThroughNY.net. “They’re wasting a fortune in training and expertise,” a source added. By May, the NYPD had agreed to cease the offshore counterterror missions altogether until it met with the union representing pilots, but the meeting has yet to happen, sources said. The plane’s last flight, according to tracking service Flight Aware, was on July 5, after itshuttled Mayor Bill de Blasio between his vacation in Canada and a Big Apple police memorial event. Police Commissioner James O’Neill has defended using the plane for other than counterterrorism. Last year, he rode the bird to the funeral for then-Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce’s mother, Dolores, and he admitted taking it to western New York for the July 8 funeral of a state trooper. That flight does not appear on Flight Aware records, and the NYPD has refused to release the plane’s flight logs to The Post. FEMA, which issued the grant used to buy the plane, has said it is looking into whether the NYPD misused the Cessna. The NYPD did not respond to a request for comment Tuesday.

West Village residents are kicking up a stink over a “serial farter” who’s polluting the neighborhood. Earlier this year, a local blog posted, “It’s happened thrice, so it can’t be a coincidence: There’s some guy who I believe is playing a fart sound as he passes people as some sort of social experiment. I think it’s always the same . . . fart.” The sleuth posted, “Every time . . . while I was talking to a friend . . . we just get interrupted by this fart that leaves us silent and staring. He plays it as he passes and never looks back, acts like nothing happened. Guy is white, college age, very straight-laced looking.” The not-so-silent-but-deadly dude went quiet for a while, but one area insider told us on Tuesday, “My wife and I were walking by Washington Square Park, and the guy passed by and just ripped one, and we both started laughing.” The couple deduced from the blast it could not have been human. “The dude had a backpack,” said the source, wondering if it housed a flatulence-simulating device. The source snapped a picture of the prankster — a hipster in shades, shorts, a short-sleeved button-down shirt, running shoes and a gray backpack. Citizens beware.

DEAR ABBY: I’m a first-time writer to your column. I’m mentally disabled, have MD (muscular dystrophy) and am diabetic. I take a lot of medication. When people ask me why I don’t work or “Where do you work?” what should I say? When I say I don’t work and that I’m disabled, they look at me funny and don’t believe it. My disabilities aren’t visible. WENDY IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR WENDY: You are not obligated to disclose your medical history to people you know casually. (If they knew you well, they wouldn’t be asking those questions.) All you need to say is, “You know, that’s personal. If you’ll forgive me for not answering your question, I’ll forgive you for asking.” Then change the subject.

Pets have ‘inner clock’ just like humans If sometimes you wonder if your dog is angry with you for staying out late, you might be right. New evidence suggests that animals have a clear sense of time, using previously undiscovered neurons that seem to switch on to count off minutes as they wait. The discovery was made by a team fromNorthwestern University while studying the medial entorhinal cortex of mice. Located in the mid-temporal lobe, it’s the part of the brain associated with memory and navigation. And since it encodes spatial information in episodic memories, lead study author Daniel Dombeck theorized that it could function as a sort of “inner clock” as well. “There are many similarities between the brains of mice, cats, dogs and humans,” Dombeck told Fox News. “We all have a medial entorhinal cortex (the region we found that may act as an inner clock), so it’s logical to think that this brain region serves a similar function in all of these different species.” To test his theory, Dombeck and his team put a mouse on a physical treadmill in a virtual reality environment. The mouse would run (on the treadmill) down a hallway to a door. After six seconds, the “door” would open and the mouse would get a (non–virtual reality) treat. They would repeat this a few times before making the door invisible. Dombeck was surprised to find that the mouse would still run and stop at the invisible door, waiting for six seconds for it to “open” so it could eat. Since the mouse didn’t know whether the door was open or closed and waited exactly six seconds, the team concluded that it had to have used its inner clock. The researchers also monitored the mouse’s brain activity, finding that the mouse’s neurons would fire as it ran. When it stopped at the door, those neurons would turn off before a new set began firing. These newly discovered neurons only fired when the mouse stopped, keeping track of the time the mouse was resting. Dombeck believes that dogs and cats more than likely have the same neurons that encode time. “There’s evidence that humans and monkeys can estimate time intervals using some form of an ‘inner clock’ and now with our work we know that mice also can explicitly represent time intervals in their brains and can perform timing tasks,” he explained. “Therefore, it’s logical to think that animals in between mice and humans in the hierarchy chain, like our pets (dogs and cats), can also use their brains to estimate time intervals.” The team’s research could have an impact on humans. The entorhinal cortex is one of the first regions of the brain affected by neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, and researchers could study how these diseases affect the new time–encoding neurons. “When doing basic research like we are, it’s always difficult to know where or how your findings will make an impact, but it’s really results from basic research like ours that eventually lead to better treatments or understanding of diseases, and sometimes even provide insights into how things like designing better computer software (by mimicking brain function),” Dombeck said. “Since the medial temporal lobe (the larger brain region that includes the medial entorhinal cortex) is one of the first regions affected by Alzheimer’s disease, and since the timekeeping properties of this part of the brain were previously unknown, it’s not unreasonable to think that clinicians could soon be asking patients to estimate different amounts of elapsed time as part of the battery of tests to look for early signs of dementia.” The study can be found in the journal Nature Neuroscience.

I've heard he's fabulous in real life, too! :D:rolleyes:

My former roommate & I were HUGE Bee Gees fans. Her father was the 'sound man' for Joan Rivers' talk show. One day they were on... he never called us to come meet them. "Oh, I didn't think you'd be interested." We never let him live it down.

Could you clarify how you feel about Joan Rivers? My former roommate & I were HUGE Bee Gees fans. Her father was the 'sound man' for Joan Rivers' talk show. One day they were on... he never called us to come meet them. "Oh, I didn't think you'd be interested." We never let him live it down.

When I hear "Helen of Troy" I think of a woman from upstate NY. When I hear "Zeus" I think of BDSM videos. When I see "Avalon" I think of Toyota.

Karen Walker: Oh Dear Lord, he's been humping my pans!

Georgia or Delaware?

Every time I see that phrase I picture dueling armies having water balloon battles using condoms as balloons.

Didn't you write up a shopping list at any point? That always gets MY juices flowing.

But you have such a pretty face! It's a shame to hide it behind all that excess weight.:cool:

An Arkansas woman was arrested Saturday after telling police she shot and killed her husband because he bought pornography, officials said. The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release it received a call around 2:30 p.m. from 69-year-old Patricia Hill, who told dispatchers she just shot her 65-year-old husband, Frank. When police arrived at the home, located about 36 miles south of Little Rock, they found Frank Hill dead in a shed on the property. Hill sustained two gunshot wounds to the upper and lower body, according to police. The sheriff’s office said that during an interview with Hill, she told investigators she arrived home and went to the shed on her property to confront her husband, but there had never been any physical altercations between the couple. “However, Mrs. Hill stated that she disagreed with her husband’s purchase of video pornography via the television guide, which she canceled upon discovering the purchase, but Mr. Hill managed to place a subsequent order,” Maj. Lafayette Woods, Jr. said. “Mrs. Hill stated that she entered the shed and asked her husband to leave but he refused.” When her husband didn’t leave the shed, Hill told investigators she went back to their home and got a .22 caliber pistol. “She went back to the shed a short time later, where she entered and shot her husband twice, striking him once in the leg and once in the head,” Woods said. “Immediately following the shooting, Mrs. Hill stated that she returned inside the residence, where she returned the weapon and called 911 to report the shooting.” At this point, investigators do not believe the incident had anything to do with self-defense, FOX16 reported. Hill is currently in Jefferson County’s detention center on felony probable cause for capital murder in the shooting death of her husband without bond, and will stay there until her court date next week.

A Bronx man was arrested for bashing his girlfriend with a Bible on Sunday, police told The Post. Daniel Laforge, 36, got into an argument with his girlfriend at his Parkside apartment on Bronx Park East at about 7 a.m., police said. He began to punch the 41-year-old woman, then grabbed the Good Book and smacked her in the head and shoulder with it, cops said. The woman called 911, and told police she suffered significant pain on her head and shoulder after the beating. Laforge was arrested at the scene and charged with felony assault and harassment.

Adam & Yves is a 1974 X-rated film created for gay male audiences. The film is notable for the unauthorized use of footage of Greta Garbo, in what turned out to be the legendary actress's final appearance on film. Set in Paris during springtime, Adam & Yves is about the French Yves (Marcus Giovanni) and his pursuit of the American tourist Adam (Michael Hardwick). The men have a brief affair, but a long-lasting relationship is prevented by Yves' insistence that they not share personal information. While making the film, director Peter de Rome reportedly stalked Greta Garbo around New York City, where the retired star was living. After much searching, De Rome, located her and was able to shoot footage of Garbo walking across First Avenue. The footage was inserted into Adam & Yves, and its presence was explained by having Adam recalling how he once saw the elusive star. The Garbo footage was used without the star's knowledge or permission, and she was not paid for her appearance.

I suppose Greta Garbo was the most famous example. Her last film appearance.
