...Rolls-Royce offer this kind of luxury at such a relatively cut-rate price? One place the company saved money is in the electrical and safety systems, which Rolls-Royce borrowed from its parent company, BMW. The Ghost also has a steel frame, unlike the Phantom's aluminum skeleton, making it less expensive to manufacture, although also less adaptable to customization.

...world's oldest cold cases. Sometime between 50,000 and 75,000 years ago, a Neanderthal male known to scientists as Shanidar 3 received a wound to his torso, limped back to his cave in what is now Iraq and died several weeks later. When his skeleton was pieced together in the late 1950s and early '60s, scientists were stumped by a rib wound that almost surely killed him, hypothesizing that it could have been caused by a hunting accident or even a fellow Neanderthal. New research suggests that Shanidar 3 may have had a more familiar killer: a human...
...Noir meets nutso in this black-and-white thriller from a vital national cinema whose films are virtually unknown in the U.S. After his car runs over something on a country road - turns out to be a skeleton - a tough-guy newspaperman stops in a small town that seems to be under the curse of a female ghost and is certainly teeming with oddballs.

Achmed, a bigheaded Halloween skeleton, is a failed suicide bomber. (He had a "premature detonation.") He has not yet come to terms with his demise - he just got a flu shot - and snaps "Silence! I kill you!" at audience members when they laugh, which is pretty much constantly. The Achmed sketch is the fourth most watched online video ever, according to the Web-tracking service Visible Measures; it's been viewed nearly 200 million times, more even than...
...island-state, although the number of vessels could be significantly higher than the official figures. That's in addition to 400 to 500 ships that are using Singapore's port at any given time. Most of the vessels outside Singapore are idle and have been stripped to skeleton crews of three or four in contrast to the normal contingent of 20-25. Nevertheless, they all require the services of companies like Con-Lash Supplies, the firm Lee works for. A one-stop shop for ships sailing through Singapore, it handles the immigration paperwork of oncoming crew, coordinates with ship fuel...
