...someone whose career has supposedly sunk to the bottom of the pop culture septic tank, Mariah Carey isn’t doing too badly. Sure, she got very publicly dropped from an extremely lucrative record deal signed just last April, and she’s still probably recovering from the “exhaustion” which put her in the hospital last summer.

Haiti's imaginative narco welders have forced an inspection revolution. Customs teams often spend days dismantling keels, engine rooms and even onboard septic tanks and voodoo shrines that have yielded as much as 1,100 lbs. of coke at a time.
