My favorite burrito place is closed because of the crane collapse last week. (Which happened basically right on top of it.) BOOO.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Awesome and funny SciFi story - BoingBoing describes it so:
"Wikihistory" is a delightful science fiction short story by Desmond Warzel in the form of a series of messages posted to a time-travellers' forum -- it's basically a Wikipedia edit war, where the old hands have to keep on slapping down the noobs for killing Hitler:

Reporting my first temporal excursion since joining IATT: have just returned from 1936 Berlin, having taken the place of one of Leni Riefenstahl's cameramen and assassinated Adolf Hitler during the opening of the Olympic Games. Let a free world rejoice!

Hivemind: Any ideas on what to use to get crusty, liquid meds off of cat fur? My poor kitty has matted fur around the mouth from messy meds and I've tried a warm washcloth (with no soap) and baby wipes. Neither did the job.

Point of order: issues related to Hitler's service in the Bavarian Army ought to go in the World War I forum.
