Strange enough to be in the situation...
SUV Nearly Slams Into Elephant

But; it was this quote...
Made me wonder if its toenails were painted red.

I liked this quote:
I can't help but picture a giant elephant crouched down in a bush, but still hulking over it. "Hiding".

That is too Looney Toons-like for reality.

Yeah; I was trying to tie that in with the "elephant hiding in the cherry tree" joke.

It looks like palm reading is passe.
Now we have...

I like the part where they say that corns are a sign of stress, and the lady says "I always thought corns meant your shoes were too tight".

It seems quite likely, if the elephant encountered Bugs Bunny earlier.

A headline on New Scientist, no less:

"Mars rover battles for its life"

A story that many of us follow. I'll feel sorry like everybody else when Spirit (and Opportunity) stop functioning. But sorry, Spirit is not alive. And it's not battling anything, it's just following instructions programmed into it.

Here's one that doesn't surprise me.
Poll finds dinnertime tradition lives even in digital age
Until you can eat dinner on-line, I don't see any change in this, other than the increasing distractions which they already say is happening.

But; it was the zinger at the end that I liked.

So essentially, they all still sit at the table, they just ignore each other. If there are all sorts of new distractions, would that no longer make it the classic "dinnertime tradition?"

Does that constitute irony?

Fed: Banks Need Customer Consent On Overdraft Fees

Alright the title is a bit misleading. Wouldn't that be nice, though?
Bank: Good afternoon Mrs. X, your account is overdrawn and we would like your permission to charge you overdraft fees.
Mrs. X: Um no thank you, maybe next time.

I've always like this bit of legalese:

Is that about "May contain nuts" including peanuts as a possible ingredient?
