Minor point perhaps, but that is not a patent application. It is a patent.

@InfamousKai: Interesting that the original article doesn't mention who Charlie McDowell (the guy who writes Dear Girls Above Me) is. He's not some random nobody - he's the son of Mary Steenburgen and Malcolm McDowell. So I'm sure it didn't hurt that he already had connections.

@Richard Lawson: "Ritual seppuku party"

This doesn't even make sense though. According to a quick google search, Apple made a pretty big donation to the anti-Prop 8 side two years ago. Did they backtrack on that?

@TheLemon: I don't think it's been reported, but he was on Letterman recently and said he had a baby girl as well. Still, I really don't think it's him.

@mulletkitty: Yeah, definitely Cherry/Sarah for that one. Kim Raver could fit the description for the married actress - didn't she recently get bumped from guest star to regular on Grey's Anatomy?

Yeah, it's really not all that unusual. I saw this one over Huntington Beach last year when I was looking up directions:

@cyberathena: Not that it really matters, but those are not the same girls. The ones Xylo posted have two mixed-race parents. The ones you posted have a white mother and a mixed-race father. See here: [www.thesun.co.uk]

Isn't Alan Cumming bi?

@racefortheprize: And it was just a promotional stunt for a tennis tournament that was being played in Dubai at the time. The court isn't a permanent fixture. That's normally the hotel's helipad.
