Kittens, or How We Need More Fun in the News

Keeping up on news, particularly political news is a little like slowly killing yourself. Each hope-burning piece solidifies your belief that everything that is wrong with the world is about to get worse. So, in order to prevent suicide, I've decide to compile a few stories here that should at least make you smile, maybe even laugh.

  1. A couple who couldn't afford their wedding album received it anyway, 27 years later.
  2. An Oregon man has started fishing "pointless", cutting off the points of his flies, which still allows for the excitement of the catch, but does not irreparably harm the fish.
  3. Johnny Depp's daughter is all right after being treated for sepsis following a prick with a rusty tack. Production of Sweeney Todd was put on hold to let Johnny be with his daughter, an atypical move in the movie industry where delays mean huge bucks.
  4. A man who found a wedding ring half-buried in the sand took the time to find its owner, all with the help of some librarians of course.
  5. An anonymous donor paid most of a man's $1,200 water bill when it ran continuously while was on an extended trip. The water utility forgave the rest, owing to their not following policies on large usage increases.

I feel better already.

  • Wow. Please make this a regular feature. It made me happy.

  • Well done. Way to think outside the box and be adventuresome, like this little guy. Or at least adventuresome, because he's certainly in a box. Hayes is an idiot

  • Image linking did not work. I lose at the internet.

    • What part of the "We use Markdown to style our comments" above every comment form do you not understand?

      Fixed it for you.

    • First, FAIL. Second, thank you for not uploading any LOLcatz. I considered that possibility the greatest threat of this post.

      • Sounds like a challenge. But we have something better in the wings...

  • I suck at this internet game. Thankfully, I have Michael.

    And no, it was just a picture of a cute kitten I took the other day. Showed up to take photos of Native American Youth Association dancers for work, and as a bonus got sucked in to animals being put up for adoption.

    And LOLCATS? Please. My taste far outstrip my "Markdown" abilities.

    Now HALOLCATS on the other hand sounds like a great idea.

  • Well, I cant agree more.
