At least they're honest about it.

I have apparently been invited to join a Steam group calling itself  "bitches 'n' glory".

I could have gone my whole life without knowing that "tracheal secretions" were a thing that could "shoot across the room".

Also, a bat got stuck in the hallway outside the pharmacy today. It was pretty adorable, but I have to wonder how the heck it got in.

These are, by the way, completely unrelated.

So in other words, ranging from catastrophic to mildly annoying. Good to know, but I don't think I'll be losing any sleep over it.

Almost as fun:  there is a company that plainly named itself Satellite Tracking of People.  I've processed a few shipments of theirs through customs.  I totally flipped out the first time I saw it.

Who would name their company that?

WHO?

MORE IMPORTANTLY, WHY?

I don't get it, what's so wrong with a company named STOP?

Lets see, we're building a lazer which we're hoping is going to rip holes in the universe, building large balloon chutes to spew volcanic gases in the air and we have Skynet.

UK science seems sooooo not apocalypse orientated...

That's some pretty good advice. Heed it.

If your not suppose to trust anyone, then that means you shouldn't trust an online fortune teller.

Oh shit, I just created a paradox.

[Sirus]

That's terrible advice. Ignore it.

By the way, how would like to own a bridge? I've got one, real cheap.
