  • Joe Biden has officially called for Trump's impeachment, are you surprised?
  • Aliens, obviously, have been preying upon Eastern Oregon's cows, surgically removing their balls and tongues before siphoning all the blood from their bovine bodies.

  • Dick's Sporting Goods reportedly destroyed $5 million worth of semiautomatic rifles after the Parkland shooting.
  • Apparently Virgin Airlines has its own antiquated, in-flight messaging system that enables customers to hit on their fellow travelers, and/or send flirtatious, quite possibly unwanted drinks to other seats.
  • You, yes YOU, could be the proud new owner of the sweater Kurt Cobain wore on MTV's Unpluggged, provided you abide by the auction house's one rule and never ever wash it: "The stains are still there. There’s even cigarettes burns that you can see on the sweater.”
