I bet Laz would hit it.

Because they are NEVER happy....no matter WHO is in charge.
Sounds good. But if she’s gonna commit suicide, why does anyone have to watch?
More assaults ping...
That's certainly understandable. There are lots of people who'd like to watch.
I bet Laz would hit it.
That cracked me up and I had a Kid Rock flashback.
I believe that her husband applied for the patent and declared he was the sole inventor or whatever it is they call someone who is filing for a patent.
According to this article, her husband said she was afraid she would end up driving a bus:
“The way she saw it, her life had two roads: Be a tenured professor or drive a bus.
Amy Bishop, the troubled neurobiology professor at University of Alabama, Huntsville, accused of shooting three colleagues dead, saw firsthand what happens to academics tossed out of the ivory tower — a job befitting a high-school dropout.
“That’s what happened to one guy that didn’t get tenure, and he is driving a courtesy shuttle,” James Anderson, Bishop’s husband, told The Post yesterday in explaining what may have prompted his wife to murder her colleagues.””

Ah, thanks. I did have some extra time today and I googled blogs this time. Found Seth’s picture.
I can’t explain it, but for some reason that poor kid matters to me.
As a mother, I just can’t imagine that the life of one of my children would be so worthless that I’d lie to let the other child escape punishment for killing their sibling.
That might not be as laughable as we’d think on first impression. Some of these academics are so narrow (and/or what they “do know” is so wrong) that their edjumacation is virtually useless outside of that context.
I wouldn’t have been so pessimistic in her case. She might have been qualified to find a second career in private biotechnology industry, especially if she really did help think up and design that robotic Petri dish. But her history of killing and assaults would have caught up with her sooner or later.
“Mr. Anderson spoke to The Chronicle in the doorway of his green, wood-sided house, about 20 minutes from the campus, as a light snow fell in Huntsville. He had talked to his wife by phone earlier Sunday morning.
“I know you guys are obviously in shock,” she told him, but she didn’t go into detail because, she said, her call was being monitored. She wanted to know whether their children were OK and whether they’d done their homework.”

We don’t know for sure that she killed her brother intentionally.
One other article stated that Amy and her FATHER were having an argument. One could conjecture that she took the shotgun, went to her room and started blowing holes in the wall in some violent rage. One of the shots could have gone through the wall and hit her brother.
I do not know her age at the time, so possibly that was a factor. It would have been involuntary manslaughter, instead of murder, if that scenario is true.
The problem is that there seem to be so many ‘contradictory’ explanations from the Father, Mother, and Police, that it is very hard to tell what really happened.
One thing for sure. The woman is a real nutcase.
How do you accidentally fire a pump action shot gun 3 times on two different floors of your house?
I think that picture is about 7 years old.
Thanks.
Its late...Its IHOP...it could happen.
No Waffle Houses in Massholechusetts.
I wouldn't want my kids going to Harvard these days.
Holy smokes! This lady was a walking IED.
ROTFLMAO
