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

Hydrochromatic umbrella reveals vivid colors when drenched

Just think of it: an umbrella festooned with hydrochromatic ink. It does just what you think, changing its bland white-on-black illustration into a splash of vivid color as soon as it gets wet. And after all, what good is an umbrella unless it gets wet?

Now these gorgeous umbrellas are available in what SquidLondon calls the "Skyline Squidarella Collection," showing the London skyline in monochromatic view, bursting into a cheery rainbow cityscape as soon as you step out into the London fog. Not bad for $35. Check out the video:

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I thought Keith's reading was pretty funny, but y'all know that as Olbermann goes, so goes my nation. I found the letters surprisingly heart-felt yet shockingly misspelled. Also, not sure what he was thinking, but I felt that over the stim as well. so.

Only Justice Clarence Thomas dissented from the part of the ruling that Redding's privacy rights had been violated.

What a douchenozzle.

Our wings are not tired.

Well, looks like schools DON'T have the right to strip-search children suspected of harboring NSAIDs.

I had to read the article to see who was the one vote that thought it was ok. Clarence Thomas. Anyone surprised?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

My take on the Sanford affair is that affairs are an issue of personal ethics, not public ethics. As far as his personal life goes, that's between him and his family. That he'd leave the country without taking steps to make sure someone knew where he was and that someone was in charge? Those are violations of the public trust.

No. Although most legal opinions end when one Justice calls another a douchenozzle, Frank.
