I'm supposed to deliver you to the Master now. There's this whole deal where I get to be immortal. Are you cool with that?

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

The JFK Photo That Could Have Changed History
TMZ has obtained a never-before published photograph which appears to show John F. Kennedy on a boat filled with naked women -- it's a photo that could have altered world events.
We believe the photo was taken in the mid-1950s. It shows two naked women jumping off the boat and two more naked women sunning on the top deck. Just below the top deck -- a man appearing to be John F. Kennedy is lying on a deck, sunning himself.
TMZ had multiple experts examine the photo -- all say there is no evidence the picture was Photoshopped. The original print -- which is creased -- was scanned and examined for evidence of inconsistent lighting, photo composition and other forms of manipulation. The experts all concluded the photo appears authentic.
Huh.

I just solved a major crisis that was preventing our client from processing their payroll.
I should be allowed to take the rest of the day off, right?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Absolutely.
Where was that picture taken from? Another boat, I guess? Huh.
I made it to and from the vet, walking home in the rain. Of course everyone loved my cat. The tech was saying she'd never seen a cat named Homer, but it seems popular for pugs.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Did he come with the name Homer?
My vet tech had a cat named "Mr. Bobo" and mine is named "Miss. Bobo". She had to explain why she started laughing when I said my cat's name.

Oh dear god. Some people should not be allowed to drive in the winter....
Driving on ice in Paignton, England (video)
So what do you do when your car is sliding on ice and the brakes won't stop it? From this video, I've learned that you should not open the car doors and try to stop it with your feet. Because you and your passenger might fall out of your moving car....

Filmed by neighbors who asked them not to attempt driving out on their iced-over suburban street, this pair somehow turn their predicament from "deductible" to "Darwin Award" near-miss in record time.
