Some girls...

You know when you're out partying all night and then you decide to go for just one more [fermented apple], but you were drunker than you thought, and you fall over...

...and get stuck in a tree?

I hate it when that happens.

Stupid Swedish elk. Time to cut back.

Bury the evidence. No, really.

On Monday there was a freak accident involving a high-speed train in China and a lightning bolt. A communication issue led to another high-speed train colliding with the fried one and lots of people dying (and even more getting severely injured).

So the authorities dug a hole and covered it up.

See more photos in the Time gallery.

And people are ticked. Check out the YouTube video before China gets a hold of it and takes it down. (Can they do that on YouTube? I know it's already pretty hard to find on Chinese sites...)

China pulls this crap all the time, but this was the last straw for a lot of folks.

Good for them!

Dinosaurs eat man. Woman inherits the earth...

This guy in Vermont earns a high-five for his 122-foot wooden dinosaur.

Neighbors got grumpy about his giant work of art. But he got to keep it when the District Environmental Commission No. 3 said the dinosaur "won't destroy or imperil wildlife." (Cue *headdesk*.)

Her name is Keisha!

See. This is why nobody likes them no-good outta-towners.

The Bangor Daily News (of Bangor, Maine) has this gem of a story:

She was "allegedly intoxicated," which makes me think she's kind of an angry drunk. Happy drunks are so much more fun, aren't they?

Break the rules in China, and that's what you get.

This is old news now, but a friend just told me about it today when I told him that I heard the zoo in our city starves their big cats so kids can have a guaranteed fun time feeding them dead animals from the end of a stick.

I doubted both stories until now.

What, we four aren't good enough for you?

The Telegraph has this story from Pakistan:

(For the he-said/she-said, click the image.)

Somebody's clearly confused. The man says he only has three wives, and the bitter wives are making it all up. And the first two (the violent ones) had already filed for divorce, anyway.

I want to know what the third one was doing during all of this.

This calls for class action!

Yahoo! was featuring this story on the front page:

Pau Gasol said he got up "past the time." The childish ambiguity is charming, isn't it?
