I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

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

Just in case anyone's feeling all "I haven't accomplished anything significant in my life yet"...

10-year-old Canadian girl discovers a supernova

A 10-year-old girl from Canada has discovered a supernova, making her the youngest person ever to find a stellar explosion.

The Royal Astronomical Society of Canada announced the discovery by Kathryn Aurora Gray of Fredericton, New Brunswick, (wonderful middle name!) who was assisted by astronomers Paul Gray and David Lane.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Re link on clunk: I'll bet one reason for some of these errors is MS Word autocorrect. For example, Word tends to change "which" and "who" to "that".

OK, this is really close to being tl;dr, but check this masterclass in FCM (aka FMK) from the Hairpin: Dustin Hoffman, Jack Nicholson, Warren Beatty.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Marry Dustin Hoffman, F Nicholson (for the freaky freakies), C Beatty.
