It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

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

Mutant pig, mutant pig, does whatever a mutant pig does...

Did we have this before? I think this is a different one.

Two-snouted, three-eyed piglet born in China

Hot in the (many) footsteps of the six-legged cow and the three-legged duck comes another animal you won't find on Old MacDonald's farm - the two-mouthed, three-eyed Chinese piglet.

Born in Huimen village, Menla County, China, the piglet was unable to take milk from its mother, forcing farmer Yang Qiaofen to feed it using the mouths it had on either side of its head.

As well as the extra mandibular equipment, the puzzling porcine was blessed with an extra eye in the middle of its forehead, earning it the nickname "Cyclops".

The seventh of seven in its litter, young Cyclops was the only abnormal birth.

While it is able to feed - "both mouths can drink at the same time," noted a surprised Yang, who is feeding it on powdered milk - it is unable to stand properly.

From The Onion: Bill Clinton: 'Screw It, I'm Running For President'

The article is OK - but check out the Onion news special election banner on top of the page - it made me laugh....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

As long as Tim has popcorn capacity in the theater, I'm totally in.

My verdict on jury duty in Queens: Boring. So far. There's no video with famous people like there is in Manhattan, they just give you a pamphlet. So far I'm in voir dire, and they've picked three jurors. I'm hoping I don't end up on the jury, since they're talking about a two-week trial, and I have shit to do! But we'll see. Of course I'm all about fulfilling my civic duty.

If I do end up on the jury, I think I'm going to have to buy some kind of portable internet device, because I almost started having DTs today.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Oooh, oooh, what kind of case? Also, where are you in Queens and who is the judge?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Did I miss the discussion of National Pie Day?

PIE!

not your mom's socks.

PIE!

heh - we were reading Cloudy, with a chance of meatballs last night and there was a tiny part of a scoreboard in one illustration that said "game called on account of pie." it made me chuckle.

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

Wow Allyson, I have total house envy.

Also? I vote rock not alien, if we're taking votes.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I have celebrated Pie Day by purchasing peach, cherry, and apple pies and sharing them with coworkers.
