Next, from the local news, the worst car you could hit while drunk driving is probably a cop car...maybe a cop car that is in the process of giving a DWI. A Saint Cloud, Minnesota lady did just that! Click here to read more!
Somehow colorblind people have taken over Pantone offices (what color are their walls?!) and chosen the "Color of the Year" for 2008. At least its not mauve right? Click here to see and read about it.
And now for more local news, a surgeon photographs a tattoo while inserting a catheter, and now the patient is suffering from a lack of a sense of humor. Click here to read about it!
Now for laughs, a list and portraits have been compiled of 50 animals that have day jobs. Click here to see the entire list.

Why I Love Buses

1. They are already warm when you get in,
2. Rich people don't ride them,
C. They're good for the environblahblahblahsnore
and
4. You can use them as a getaway vehicle after robbing a bank. When police board the bus, you can try to escape out the back door of the bus, after you wait those awkward two seconds for the back-door-is-ready-to-open light.

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Stop Please

After waiting an hour for a bus in a snowy sh*tstorm during rush hour, I got home and heated up my tootsies, which I couldn't feel, with my hairdryer. Leonard, a guy who rides my bus, goes "Welcome to Minnesota!"

In other news, Happy Birthday Mom!!! You're the best mom in the world!!
