Pearl Castle's posted hours do NOT make sense! / Balloon rupture and drugs

Steph called me at midnight to get me to look up Pearl Castle's hours since she and her friend Chantal wanted some bubble tea. The hours as posted on a site I found via Google did not make any sense. "11:30 PM to 12 AM" is certainly not going to bring you any business! Told her that a Pearl Castle would be opening up in the mall soon, which didn't help them right then, of course. Oh well, maybe next time she's in town - I believe she leaves tomorrow.

Facebook quiz taken from Amanda:

Leslie completed the quiz "What RENT character are you?" with the result Mark. You are Mark Cohen. You are an observer and prefer to stay out of dramatic situations, although you feel alone sometimes. You are practical and supportive. You love to be with your friends, and if you are filming it, it's even better for you. You want to save every moment of life, because you never know when everything will disappear. Your values are important to you, and you wouldn't go against them, even to make a living. You don't care where you are, as long as you are having a good time with your friends. (Thought so from reading the capsule descriptions at the beginning of the quiz!)


Poo nugget for Monday, July 27: Catch 'Em With Their Pants Down - While bowel obstruction from swallowing drug-filled condoms can occur, the most feared complication of "body packing" is balloon rupture. Balloon rupture results in a rapid release of lethal doses of cocaine or heroin into the GI tract. This catastrophic complication has been known to result in shock and, in severe cases, death. Once smugglers are apprehended, these packets can easily be detected with an abdominal X-ray. Treatment is with laxatives (and close bathroom supervision) to expedite the natural passage of these illicit goods.
