Although the standoff is unusual for Minnesota, lawmakers have resorted to the tactic many times elsewhere. A complex chess game has been playing out since the November election resulted in a 67-67 tie in the House.

Clash of the handouts as Modi's BJP seeks to reclaim Delhi after decades
Having unexpectedly won two Indian state votes late last year, in big part due to a slew of handouts, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's party is deploying the same playbook in a bid to wrest back Delhi for the first time in nearly three decades next month.

Jamie Lee Curtis Says She Was "Embarrassed" Filming Her "Trading Places" Topless Scene And Explained Why She Won't Do It Again

Jamie Lee Curtis is an acting legend who's been in tons of films you know and love.

And it's definitely possible you've seen her performance in the 1983 comedy Trading Places, which also starred Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy.

Jamie also went topless in the film, and in an interview with PEOPLE (The TV Show), she admitted that it's not something she would do again, saying she was "embarrassed" by the experience.

"I was 21 years old, and the part required Ophelia to take off her dress," she said. "Did I like doing it? No. Did I feel embarrassed that I was doing it? Yes. Did I look OK? Yeah."

"Did I know what I was doing? Yeah. Did I like it? No. Was I doing it because it was the job? Yes."

Jamie also said she "would absolutely not" film a similar scene if offered to do so today.

"I wouldn't do it today; it's the last thing in the world I would do now," she said.

"I also am married for 37 years; I wasn't married then. I'm a mother of children. Absolutely not."
