Also, this is like a week after a MASSIVE train derailment that destroyed much of a small town's downtown. A week before that, there was another derailment/crash after a train insisted on going over a bridge in Calgary that had been weakened by the massive flood there and which then collapsed under the train's weight.

I mean, okay, neither of those were CN rail, but the railroads in Canada are under a very angry microscope at the moment. Special fired indeed; this was special dumb.

The 11-year-old girl herself gave a TV interview in which her face was obscured. In it, she said, “It will be like having a doll in my arms. I’m going to love the baby very much, even though it comes from that man who hurt me.”

So me and my friends were out today and drove right by this. Sort of surreal to see something like this happening. Didn't hang around to gawk though like the other people there were.

I don't have a link handy, but apparently the latest internet meme is to record yourself slapping someone without warning, then make a loop video of the slap, and then reply to someone's facebook/tumblr/twitter/whatever with a link to said video?

WTF?!

Considering the money is going to the team charities, I can't say I find myself particularly scandalized.

Man, to have lived in that generation where dissension was considered an essential part of our culture and a powerful tool against our enemies.

...wait, that generation's the one that became boundlessly greedy and feels no responsibility towards society isn't it?

Fuck, this must be how Republicans are born.

In ~~Soviet~~ post-Soviet Russia, card credit you!

A hilarious inversion of the usual credit card mailing junk. And since this is taking place in Russia, the guy might actually win his court case!

Nation's children thrown into chaos by the sinister plot of ~~the Brotherhood of Dada~~ Daniel Pinkwater to infiltrate standardized testing:

Quote

The crux of the passage is that the pineapple challenges the hare to a race, and the other animals are convinced the pineapple must have a trick up its sleeve and will win. When the pineapple stands still, the animals eat it. The moral of the story: “Pineapples don’t have sleeves.”

One of the disputed questions asked, essentially, which was the wisest animal. Some students said that none of the animals seemed very bright, but that a likely answer was the owl, because it was the one that uttered the moral.

Others worried that the owl was a distraction, because owls are supposed to be wise, so it would be the wrong answer.

The other tough question was why the animals ate the pineapple. Students were torn between two of the four choices: they were annoyed or they were hungry; either one seemed to work.

Sorry if this has been posted before, it's about a year old
