The deadliest screenshot…In The World

Anybody have any idea as to why this screenshot seems to kill my phone?

I grabbed it because I had a minor UI quibble, which I’ve now resolved.

But the important point is that I wanted to edit this screenshot on the phone so I could trim it to something more manageable,

e.g.:

But no. Every single time I tried to edit it with the built-in “Photos”app, it would black-screen, display the progress indicator, and then reboot with the Apple logo.  And this would happen if I selected it from the camera roll OR the Photo Stream roll.

So what gives?  I can try it again now and I’m pretty sure it’ll do the same thing.

My friend sent me these pics and I think they’re pretty impressive considering everything in them is something you can eat.

The New & Improved Rachael Ray Drinking Game

In response to this very detailed and painfully thought-out (I assume, it would be painful to me) drinking game, I would like to hereby propose a new Rachael Ray Drinking Game:

Since most drinking games tend to be constructed on the premise that one takes a drink whenever the principal either says or does something specific, I’m going to construct this game around a slightly different one.  It’s very simple, so pay attention:

If you get the idea to watch the Rachael Ray Show, take a drink.

Keep drinking until you no longer feel the need to watch her show.

This is extensible to those around you with only slight modifications:

If someone around you suggests watching the Rachael Ray Show, take a drink.

Keep drinking until you can safely(this means without spilling any alcohol) use the bottle as a club to beat this person over the head for making such a suggestion.
