Awesome

See, now THIS is why Muppets rule the universe.

The page is translated from German (thank you, Google), so the text reads a little funny. But I think the photo says it all...

Police investigated Sesame Street "Ernie"

The police in Bayreuth is asking for your help! "Ernie" from Sesame Street is a traffic "Grobien" caught going 155 km / h is the doll on the A9 on Bindlach mountain geblitzt been. Were allowed only 120 km / h.



Although the photo is somewhat older - it was created on 08.08.2008 at 11:11 clock - but Ernie is already often too fast when driving has been photographed. Because it is an English car that is the real driver right and Ernie left. Now the police searches in Bayreuth after the speeder. Threaten him 50 euros fine and 3 points in the traffic offenders register in Flensburg.

I think the Muppet in question is actually Animal, not Ernie. But who knows how those crazy Krauts roll on the other side of the pond?

For the gift that literally keep on giving

So earlier today a good friend of mine brought a little news story to my attention. It seems that in an attempt to curb the spread of STDs and to promote sexual health in general, the nonprofit group I.S.I.S., Inc. came up with an innovative (as it were) method of communicating not-so-great health news to a partner:

E-cards.

Sharing is caring!

How about that?

So I recently learned - courtesy of NPR - that Dick Cheney been released from the hospital, having survived his 4th (4th!) heart attack.


I didn't realize he still had one.

Thank you ladies and gentlemen! Remember to tip your server! I'll be here all week!
