Crazy

This Pale Blue Dot

Let's put some things in perspective real quick:

Officer Tries to Catch People Fleeing from a Van

Oh, man. Just when you think he's caught them, more get away.

Shark Surfing

This is really not recommended.

This has got to be the stupidest thing I've read all week:

A teen accused of plotting to blow up his high school told police that he wanted to die, go to heaven and kill Jesus, federal authorities said Tuesday.

Prosecutors argued in a federal courtroom that the statements are an indication that 18-year-old Ryan Schallenberger needs a psychological evaluation.

While it's perfectly sane to believe you will go to heaven and meet Jesus, apparently it's insane to think you have a chance at killing him. Please don't try this at home, kids.

Fluffy The Stash Guarding Alligator Snapping Turtle

WBZTV reports:

"Fluffy," a 45-pound alligator snapping turtle, is now living there on loan to the aquarium's "Killer Instincts" exhibit.

Before coming to Boston, Fluffy actually belonged to a drug dealer in New York who used the turtle to guard his stash.

The aquarium told WBZ this is actually becoming more and more common.

Alligator snapping turtles are the largest freshwater turtles in North America, and are most frequently found in Southern states. Their jaws are strong enough to sever a human finger.

Wow. Drug dealers buy alligator snapping turtles to protect their stash from would be theives. Brilliant. I'll take four to protect my collection of stuffed plush hippos.
