I had a friend some years ago who had a son named Rick.  Not Richard,
just RICK.  One time she told me that when he was born she had named
him Star (or was it Star Light?  Star Shine??), but when he was 5 years
old he told her one day quite emphatically that he was changing his name
to RICK.  They went to see the judge and from that day on he was Rick.

I don't understand where you get an urban legend out of this.  I used to work
for McDonnell Douglas and can state for a fact that this type of testing is
performed.  In the MDC St. Louis phone book there is a listing for the "Bird
Strike Laboratory" or some such department (the exact name escapes me at the
moment).   Testing is performed to determine the effects of birds striking the
engines and canopies of fighter planes.

I heard a story there once that back in the late 50's they tested the seats for
the Mercury spacecraft by strapping pigs into them and dropping them from
various heights until their backbone's broke.  Supposedly the backbone of a pig
is similar to that of a human.  This practice was stopped after numerous
complaints were received from the general public.  I never heard what they
replaced the pigs with.

In the Star Trek groups, they often argue whether or not some boring point
is "canon".  You'd think this was the Catholic Church or somthing and Peter
was the Pope!  They go really crazy when someone says "This is canNon".

But you are right, if Kirk made a "cannon", like he did in that episode with
the Gorn, he'd probably beat Jean-Luc too!  Except that Jean-Luc would go
*splat* when the diamonds hit him instead of just falling down like the Gorn
did.

implantation (but it's surprising how many doctors are
unaware of this use! Women's clinics, Planned Parenthood
offices, hospital ERs, rape crisis centers and student

RU-486 is approved for treating glaucoma or certain

Actually, I think I have one to add to this list:  In "Back to the Future,
Part III", when Marty is trying to get out of the DeLorean before the train
flattens it, we see a clear head-on view of the oncoming freight train.
Note it's shadow on the wall- the locomotive isn't pulling anything.  After
impact, the locomotive is suddenly pulling a full line of cars.
Of course, you can also make out the special  "bumpers" on the front of 
that train, presumeably added to keep DeLorean parts from derailing it.

Huh? _Bram Stoker's Dracula_ (dir. Francis Ford Coppola), with

weekend. That's what it's been scheduled for for months and months.

At the theatre where I work, we have a poster up that we got six

Two floppy disk horror stores...

1) I didn't personally witness this one but I believe it.  A computer
dealer friend told me the story of how he had just sold a new computer
to a female customer and a couple days later she called to him
to complain about the floppy disks he had included with the sale.
She said the boxes were too hard to open and when she did get them
open the disks wouldn't go into the computer without bending.  It seems
that she had been individually cracking apart each 3.5" disk's plastic
shell and trying to insert just the actual FLOPPY MAGNETIC DISK with
its metal hub into the disk drive.

2) I did witness this one. Circa 1983 or so my company was using 
Radio Shack Model IIIs at each of its offices and some of the
employees were a bit, uh, slower than others at grasping some basic
computer operation concepts. Heh heh... Only a couple of the offices
had modems and so each day's transactions (ocean freight shipments)
were sent by courier pouch to the head office where I'd take the
data and compile it into the company database from their 5" disks.
One of our slightly newer (and denser) Houston employees sent me
some disks one day that were stapled together, right smack through
their liners with a note on the top "for Harv."
On another occasion I received a disk from one of the offices that
had been very neatly and firmly creased and folded in half so it
would fit into a standard biz envelope.

And lastly my favorite non-floppy-disk story, but one that still involves
Model IIIs is the time I went into a local Radio Shack to buy one
of their nylon mesh screen glare filters to take to work to affix to
my machine. (The gray colored screens along with typical office
lighting made reflections from the monitors a real pain). 
After looking around the store a bit, I confronted the MANAGER
(at least that's what his badge said) behind the counter and told him
I wanted a glare filter for a Model III. He didn't know what that was
so he handed me their current catalog and asked me if I could find it
in there. I did, and showed him the page and he walked me to one of
the shelves near the back of the store and from it pulled down
a round foam turntable mat and held it up to me and said
"Is this it?"

Could be that the Brits signed a contract with China in the late 19th
century to rent Hong Kong whilst in the "Good Ol' Days" Ireland 
was encouraged to closer harmony with the England at the point of a pike
staff.

Anyway can't see the British Army "yomping" through China, as they did in
the Falklands, to keep the millions of Chinese troops at bay. 

One further point, most Hong Kong residents were deprived of the right of
abode in UK with the enactment of a Nationality Bill in the early 80s
(along with many others). So far the only people not resident in UK 
who've had their rights restored have been the Falkland Islanders (because
there are many of them? their white? and "our boys" died there?).

This one showed up on the NYC TV news about 2 years ago, complete with
pictures of houses with siding partially removed and an interview with
a guy pushing a shopping cart full of siding into a recycling center.
Or maybe it appeared on 60 minutes.  I dunno.  I do remember the
interview with the guy pushing the shopping cart full of siding,
though.  He wasn't very responsive to the questions about where he got
the siding.

According to the story, drug addicts and bums had started using the
above scam as a way to earn some extra pocket money.

Is it true?  Did it appear on April 1 sandwiched between a report on
escaped alligators in the sewers and a touching story involving a
burgular, a doberman and three severed fingers?  Hell, I don't
remember.  It was two years ago.

"cwm" is in his *second* book, _More_of_the_Straight_Dope_, where he
says that it signifies "mountain hollow", and is a *borrowing* from
Welsh.  In Webster's, it states that "cwm" is a term identical to

Every four years, this guy, who had his name leagally changed to Love 22,
