• "Daddy Put In Bye-Bye Box". Don't click that. Really.
  • I was expecting something mild. Mother of God.
• "God Angrily Clarifies 'Don't Kill' Rule", in particular the closing paragraph:

"Upon completing His outburst, God fell silent, standing quietly at the podium for several moments. Then, witnesses reported, God's shoulders began to shake, and He wept."

• • This one was written in response to the September 11 attacks, making it even more poignant.

  • And if you've ever encountered Released to Elsewhere...
• US Commemorates 9/11 By Toasting Stable Afghan Government. If only that was real...

• "Not Knowing What Else To Do, Woman Bakes American-Flag Cake," also written in response to 9/11.

"I baked a cake," said Pearson, shrugging her shoulders and forcing a smile as she unveiled the dessert in the Overstreet household later that evening. "I made it into a flag."
Pearson and the Overstreets stared at the cake in silence for nearly a minute, until Cassie hugged Pearson.
"It's beautiful," Cassie said. "The cake is beautiful."
