Or an editor should be wanted? They really need to examine those Breaking News headlines they have running at the bottom of the screen.

Noticed by my hubby last night as we had dinner.

There I was, in a yarn shop that was just *loaded* with yarny goodness, browsing and squishing to my heart’s content. Suddenly, several men in black suits entered and searched for a few minutes and their search included the customers.

Then, in comes the POTUS, waving and nodding to the startled people in the store. He give a brief speech and opens up for Q&A. I tweet about what’s happening from my cell (which I’ve never really done). Then someone asks him a question and he has no answer except to hem and haw. I have to turn around because I’m trying to suppress a giggle.

Then I wake up. Guess what I was thinking of before bed?

Here’s your dose of reality-is-stranger-than-fiction.

Iranians bust a spy pigeon ring. Anyone remember the pigeons from the Animaniacs? I’m reminded of them.

Woman arrested for killing virutal husband. He told the police after he logged on to find his “beloved avatar” was dead. Yes, they arrested her for reals.

Giant spider eating a bird was caught on camera. Apparently, this one is making the email rounds. It probably wouldn’t harm a human but could you imagine brushing up against its web? Oi, I get the heebie jeebies just thinking about it. Reminds me of those coconut crabs my grandma used to tell me she’d run across whey they lived on Guam.

Dark Chocolate Fudge

Dark! All-encompassing, eternal darkness! Human eyes cannot penetrate the stygian blackness of this unholy confection!

Gotta love any bit of writing that uses the word “stygian.” Well, I do anyway.
