What Really Happened to the Runaway Bride



The case of Jennifer Carol Wilbanks, the "runaway bride" made national headlines in 2005. But you might have been too young to appreciate the story at the time, or you didn't keep up with it past reading the headlines, and besides all that, it took a long time for all the details to come out. It has nothing to do with the 1999 movie Runaway Bride, which was earlier. Wilbanks got cold feet before her wedding to John Mason, but instead of calling off the wedding, she faked a story about being kidnapped. Maybe she didn't realize that the entire nation would be mobilized into saving her. As the story played out, people who knew her were divided in their opinions, while the rest of the country went on with their lives. But what ultimately happened? For one thing, they didn't get married, at least not to each other, but there were repercussions all around. Weird History has the whole story for us.  -via Digg

Dear Toshiba,

Gasoline cars are still on the road and there are some blind people that would like the ability of sight in their life. Oh and Wii will still out sell your robot at Christmas. Please turn your attention to something we can use. Thanx

i think it's cute. might be a little useless at the moment (playing volleyball) but the idea of a robot to play with a human is kind of reminds me of A.I.
cute nonetheless.
