Post a news story, entertain me!

Restaurant in Montreal offers free food to those who can't afford to pay.

"It doesn't matter, because at night if you still have leftover food you end up throwing it out, so why not give to those in need?" said chef Abdelkader Bejaoui

Harvard discover three of their library books are probably bound in Human Flesh.

Hopefully they have common sense enough not to read the contents out loud.

And yes I realise they made the same joke at the end of the article but I wrote mine before I read that dammit and I'm keeping it!

How else would you explain 2016?

Oh Canada... why don't I live within your borders? It's obvious a much better fit.

You need to wait another 15-20 years for it to be warm enough.

Is there not central heating in Canadian houses? Since I quit smoking, my only outside time is between front door and car, and between car an entrance to where I'm going.

One Man’s Quest to Change the Way We Die

Miller runs the Zen Hospice project, which has its origins in the AIDS epidemic -- it was founded as an alternative way to die in the midst of so much death. In the years since, it has become a model for a new kind of palliative medicine, one that stresses individual dignity and choices about the end of life.

Time travel is how you explain 2016, clearly.

So somebody famous does something awful in the future. A group of scientists come back to kill that celebrity, only to find out another celebrity is now responsible. The result is wholesale slaughter of celebrities in 2016.

I initially misread that as "high-priced executive bike," which was a slightly different image.

As it turns out, the practice of using human skin to bind books was actually pretty popular during the 17th century. It's referred to as Anthropodermic bibliopegy and proved pretty common when it came to anatomical textbooks.

Today that's what we'd call a Kickstarter top tier collector's edition bonus.

Google Home & Amazon Echo's success amazes me in what privacies folks will abandon for the sake of convenience.

Good News: You may soon be able to get beer from your Keurig

Bad News: Budweiser

When you say, "Alexa order me 50 gallons of lube". Does it just do an Amazon search and order the first thing? Is there no confirmation? How many times am I going to get Nifty Balloons of Pubes?

Wear your multiple pube-balloons, and you won't have any need of lube.

Problem solved! It's really just Alexa being proactive.

"Alexa, you order one more thing i don't want and i'm gonna shove you where sun don't shine"

Don't forget that he ordered this first.

Ugh. After Rogue One, I have no hope that the Han Solo movie will be good.
