Poor, poor casting, methinks . . .
I was very surprised to see that Leo is 38 and Woodrow Wilson became president at 46. I thought Leo was younger and Wilson was older.

The lead singer of As I Lay Dying, a heavy metal band with a Christian message, will stand trial on charges he tried to hire an undercover sheriff's deputy to kill his estranged wife, Reuters reported.

On Monday a judge in San Diego County ordered the singer, Tim Lambesis, 32, to be tried in superior court in Vista, Calif. He was arrested in May and charged with soliciting the murder of his wife, Meggan Lambesis. They had been married for eight years, but the relationship fell apart in the spring of 2012 and she had filed for divorce.

The county sheriff said Mr. Lambesis gave an undercover deputy, posing as a hitman named Red, $1,000 in cash, photos of his wife, her address and codes to her home security system. He also gave the deputy a list of dates when he would have their three adopted children with him.

Mr. Lambesis has pleaded not guilty. His lawyer has said he never intended for his spouse to be harmed.

Greg, if you feel that I was bullying you in even the slightest, I wish to apologize, publicly and abjectly.

Fixed. (I wouldn't like to see a white box instead of the news broadcast, though.)

That had to have been a joke that didn't quite have the expected impact...

Not at all... lol, the idea of correcting someone's grammar being "bullying" is a strange one.

I can only conclude that that concept of a "joke" has not reached Finland.  :(
