Furry Cupcakes

I was trying to open the beta version of software I use at work. The application helpfully reminded me to download the latest and greatest version.

Bread, on the other hand, is not helpful. Bread won't actively nag you when it's stale. Sure, there's a tiny date stamped on it, but really, who looks at that?

Bread doesn't care -- not the way software does -- and will let you eat it when it's outdated. I have eaten stale bread without realizing it. (Whataboutit?)


That reminds me of when I ate cupcakes so stale that mold was growing on them. Yes, I saw the mold.

Yes, I ate them anyway. It was, like, around 15 years ago.

I was hungry. And desperate.

Dark Humor Makes Electrifying Warning


High voltage + promise of smoky burning agonizing death + dark humor = eye-popping warning.

No, really.

If you burn to death like this, your eyes might just pop out of your head as they burst into flame and your face melts off.

Fun stuff.
