Sometimes a sharp shock can stop an angry bear in its tracks
That is why you are supposed to punch bears in the nose. And you play dead for sharks. Pretty sure I got that right. Guess I'll find out next time I go to the ocean or backpacking.

I'm guessing this doesn't directly affect our resident metro-area/Baltimorians, but jeepers

I'm very slightly less likely to get jumped by a pack of teenagers if I'm walking around in the wrong area late at night, not that I do that. But other than that, it has no real effect on me. One of my friends works for the city and helps staff the curfew centers. She says it is not an ideal solution, but it is better the way things were. But it is pretty controversial. A lot of cities and states in the US have juvenile curfew laws.

Yea, I've avoided reading the comments on things like that. I can guess the general content of them pretty easily.

This article has some comments you definitely should read.

Actress Betty White, 92, Dyes Peacefully In Her Los Angeles Home


The people who managed to scroll past the entire article to comment "RIP" made my evening.

I don't understand why people were so angry at that.

That'll teach people to distinguish their homophones! I approve heartily.

I really can't tell if this is a satire website or not. The other headlines seem just a little too surreal.

Huh

Well the National Post is a real Canadian newspaper. But they are also the ones who 'broke' the completely fake 2006 story about the Iranian government requiring religious minorities to wear identifying badges. The front page headline was "Iran Eyes Badges for Jews." So yea, they may not be a bastion of journalistic integrity.

The National Post is still around? I thought they went belly up for some reason.
