2 time zones, a little globe that shows the hour everywhere else, and QUAD TOURBILLONS

If a bunch of chickens that were in a cage being transported in a short-bodied car decided to stage a revolution would that be a coupe coop coup?

It'd be like high-fiving @maple with every keypress

Found a good deal for the SCP foundation

"DIVISIONNN! CLEAR THE LOBBIES!"

New favourite mental image:

John Bercow, Speaker of the House of Commons, retired from his position and working in a maccy d's drive through

"Hello, may I take your ORDERRRRRRRRRR?"

apparently Bristol is "the cocaine capital of europe"

YAY! WE WON SOMETHING!
