POPSvideo: Affectionate cat distracts police officer Very funny. And to the eejits commenting on some of the YouTube versions of this clip: no, the officer did not "kick" the cat. He used his foot to scoot it away. It's not the same thing at all. You notice the cat keeps coming back for more? They're not stupid that way...

POPSPatience, Young Grasshopper... "As quickly as you can...snatch the pebble from my hand." "When you can take the pebble from my hand, it will be time for you to leave." I recently heard this grasshopper phrase used yet again and sometimes it takes me forever to bother googling stuff like this, but I finally got my arse together and looked it up. I am SURE, that knowing this most important bit of information, will now make me sleep better at night and I'll surely live happily ever after. (Just kidding) .:p http://icanhascheezburger.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/funny-pictures-cat-teaches-dog-patience.jpg

POPSWhat Was Number 1 The Day You Were Born? Aww it didn't clip properly! If you enter your birth date and the country of your choice find out what was number 1 on the the day you were born. My number 1 was "The Battle Of New Orleans" by Johnnie Horton in the US and in the UK "Roulette" by Russ Conway. (I'm 21 and a bit)

POPSWorld's largest ice sheet melting faster than expected "If the current trend continues or gets worse, Antarctica could become the largest contributor to sea level rises in the world. It could start to lose more ice than Greenland within a few years," said Jianli Chen, of the University of Texas at Austin.

POPSThe "Twilight" Saga: Textbook abusive relationship more: And this movie is the one that made $140 million bucks in one weekend. Bigger than Dark Knight. Maybe it's just that I'm older and (hopefully) wiser than the characters and thus out of this movie's target demographic, or maybe I'm a humorless feminist, but knowing that zillions of girls are seeing this getting the idea that a seriously unhealthy relationship is somehow the equivalent of true love -- that is profoundly disturbing. Far scarier than a werewolf.

POPSI heard my albino daughter being hacked to death for her legs "Convictions have been few and far between, but earlier this month campaigners celebrated four men being sentenced to death for the murder of 50-year-old albino, Lyaku Willy. ‘ A terrible noise was coming from the children's room. I saw my daughter's legs were gone. I realized she was dead and I couldn't stop crying. ’ It was the first time sick body part traders had been brought to justice. As authorities step up their fight against the racket, even family members have been discovered striking deals for body parts belonging to their own children. Shockingly, cops investigating Eunice's death earlier this year believe it falls into this category. Sobbing, Mary says: "My husband was arrested. He was charged with our daughter's murder and remains in custody to this day." Unsurprisingly, Mary's other albino daughters are severely traumatized by their sister's killing, and live in fear that they'll be next."
