A Chick On A First Date Gets Drunk, Goes Wild, And Destroys Her Date's Fine Art, Including Two Warhol Paintings.

A high-profile Texas attorney alleges that a woman destroyed hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of art in his house, including two original Andy Warhol paintings, after getting drunk and inexplicably belligerent on a first date.

Prosecutors said in court Wednesday that Lindy Lou Layman, a 29-year-old Dallas court reporter, was on the date with attorney Anthony Buzbee on Dec. 23 when she allegedly went on her drunken destructive spree, according to KHOU.

Buzbee told police that Lindy Lou became intoxicated, hid from him inside his own $14 million mansion, and, when he tried twice to get her an Uber ride home, started attacking his art.  Apparently, she hates art with the heat of a thousand suns.  I estimate Lindy Lou has seen her last business as a court reporter from the local attorney community.

But other than that, she seems nice.  

Rule No 1: Never date crazy.

Court records show that she was charged with felony criminal mischief after allegedly tearing three paintings off the wall, pouring an unidentified liquid on them, and destroying two abstract sculptures by "throwing them across the room."  I wonder if she was shouting "I hate attorneys, I hate you and I hate Andy Warhol" as she was doing that? 

 The prosecutors said two of the paintings were original Warhols valued at $500,000 apiece. The sculptures were worth $20,000 each.

It's going to be warmer in Siberia, Antarctica and Greenland next week, than it is in New Hampshire.

It's chilly in New England.  And granted, it's summer now in Antarctica.

But, there's a bright side.  It could be worse.   It could be Oymyakon, Russia.

High Flux Isotope Reactor refueling at Oak Ridge National Lab

What would happen if you swam in a nuclear containment pool?   Every centimeter of water between you and the spent fuel cuts the radiation in half, roughly. 

Swimming to the bottom and touching something radioactive would kill you in a couple days or even hours, but if you’re only a few feet under, then there may actually be less ambient radiation than outside the water.
