I hate it when a news story drops a load of questions on you and then answers none of them. This one here, for example. Did this fellow know the guest of honour or are we dealing with a completely random attack? And if the answer is option A, how did things go so wrong …

Do You Need To Be A Mathematician To Go To St. Ives?
I have to ask this. Did anybody else get driven crazy by the St. Ives song when they were kids? Or was it just me? As I was going to St. Ives, I met a man with seven wives, Each wife had seven sacks, Each sack had seven cats, Each cat had seven kits: Kits, …

Black Mirror Made Me Look In The Mirror
So I finally got Netflix. I haven’t used it super much, but I go through fits and starts. But the first thing I did was watch the most recent season of Black Mirror and then watch Bandersnatch, that choose your own adventure episode of the show, and yes, it is accessible, and very able to …
What a Crumby Concept!
It’s a really weird experience when you suddenly stop and think about an analogy that you use all the time, and realize that it’s kind of no good. This happened to me the other day. I was training someone on our system at work, and I told him “If you ever want to find your …
Tea Bags
Honest question: What could this place have possibly done to screw up a tea order? Put ice in the cup? Tea is literally the only thing I’ve never seen a restaurant get wrong. It’s hot water and a bag. They either dunk it for you or give you the bag and you plop it in …
But My Customers Can’t Live Without Me!
This is a fine example of police throwing any charge they can think of against the wall and seeing if it sticks. It’s also pretty hilarious. Police in Hamilton, Ontario, saw a man driving aggressively and with improper plates. For reasons I don’t quite understand, they didn’t pull him over right away, but instead kept …
If The Crazy Old Metal Preacher Says The Pandemic Is Over, Who Are We To Argue?
Clearly, the best way to experience Kenneth Copeland is to not experience him at all. But if you must, listening to his rantings set to metal is a close second. Isn’t that so much better than this? There’s no need to answer that question, but you can explain why the answer is yes if you’d …

I’m Either Getting A Blood Clot Or I’m About To Faint Because The Ontario Government Did Something Right
Looks like a bunch of us idiots who did a smart thing and got the crappy vaccine that isn’t all that crappy, actually are going to be able to get the other half of our treatment without having to try out something that sounds kind of reckless even if it might ultimately work. This is …
Jail Trail
I suppose this is how the story would have gone if Hansel and Gretel were Drug trafficking morons. They were smart enough to plan their daring robbery in advance, but then…oh then. The men and another accomplice robbed a CVS in Clearwater about 5 a.m. on New Year’s Day, waving guns at employees and binding …
Alright Boys, Throw The Book AT Him
As a thief, your job is to take things with you, not leave them behind. This becomes especially important when the thing left behind is a notebook with a bunch of incriminating evidence and identifying information in it. Robert Shull Goddard, 49, allegedly broke into a house in the Hillwood neighborhood on Jan. 29 by …
