Hilarity not included. || For when you’re transporting fluids at close to the speed of light. || Dissatisfied customer. || Maximum sparkle, only £11,095. || Meet Sissy the minx. || In case you missed it. || Good haul, methinks. || Dog-sitting, but with extras. || And finally, good as new.

Indigenous woman yells ‘I hate white people’ before punching white woman, but it’s not a hate crime judge rules
Oh well, at least the judge ordered her to stay away from the firewater.
Sex offender “Tiffany Scott” – Scotland’s “most violent prisoner” – is on the list of 350 people being honoured today on “Transgender Day of Remembrance”.
Play stupid games, wear Cluster B glasses, win stupid prizes.
I tend to think that there must have been a better way to accommodate the pens facing the wrong way, and this is just bad assembly-line design.
Or maybe they just wanted something mesmerizing.

Booooorrring!

These are the same people who were saying you must: “bake the cake,” “take the picture,” “make the flower arrangement.”
I didn’t make the new rules, but those are the new rules

I don’t understand that – don’t men have greater upper body strength? Or is it a question of balance?

Julia: Women have a lower center of gravity, making it much easier to do that.
It’s not about strength. It’s about one’s center of gravity. Apparently ours is lower down on our bodies, so holding the torso in that position is done through a cantilever effect: more mass below the waist than above.

As I type, I’m balancing on my hair.
I question the “high dose” title, but from what I remember – and this is going back a few decades – the visual squirming effect is quite accurate, and the peaking, around four minutes in, made me chuckle. I suppose the problem is that the visual distortions are only part of the experience. The psychological effects are difficult to convey.
I remember being reduced to helpless laughter by a slice of toast.
