Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I've always loved the salty. I remember when I was seven or so we went to a restaurant and the salad had anchovies on it. My mother pointed them out, told me what they were, and warned that they were an acquired taste and I probably wouldn't like them. Well, I acquired that taste on the first try.

If you see some My Little Ponies standing around, whatever you do, don't close your eyes, don't even blink.

The odds of this happening are very small, but if it did happen, the results would be so horrific that we do need to take this possibility seriously.

I think the best solution would be to find some Terminator that was sent back in time and tell it, "We'll help you build Skynet, as long as you promise to kill all the My Little Ponies first."

Why NOW the GOP says disagreeing with a President is okie-dokie
"Make no mistake: Anything other than an immediate and compliant, 'Why no sir, I don't want the president to fail,' is treated as some sort of act of treason, civil disobedience or political obstructionism," Jindal said at a political fundraiser attended by 1,200 people. "This is political correctness run amok."
Unlike when people protested the War in Iraq and were called Un-American, Troop-haters, and it was treated like treason. GIANT JACKTARDS.

I think this car will be fast enough to escape the My Little Ponies....
British steam car attempts to break land speed record
A bunch of U.K. enthusiasts are attempting to break the 102-year-old land speed record with a steam-powered car. The three-ton vehicle, described as a giant kettle on top of a camping stove, has almost two miles of tubes inside its carbon-fiber-composite/aluminum frame. The team is expecting the 25-foot-long car to reach 200 mph during its record attempt at Bonneville Speed Week in September.
The car — can I call it that? — takes eight minutes to get going, but has only enough fuel, air and water for a three-minute run. The water boils at 482°F due to the fact that there's 40 bar water pressure inside the boilers. It's then super-heated to 750°F, or "dry" steam, which passes through heavily lagged pipes and two industrial steam valves before ending up in a two-stage turbine. Outsize Goodyear tires and brake pads slow the vehicle down, and there's a parachute system that opens up behind in case the braking system fails.
There are 12 boilers inside the car, which from the front resembles the love child of a Fifties UFO and a Roomba. These boilers heat up the 37 gallons of distilled water needed to push the vehicle to its top speed. Onboard tanks containing Liquid Petroleum Gas fire up the burners that heat the boilers, producing three megawatts of heat. That's enough power to make 9,000 cups of tea — roughly what I drink each month.
