POPSThe Bachelor's Cat Little kid finds his pet turtle all sucked inside his shell. He tried and tried to wake him up but to no avail. He takes him to his mom, who gives him the bad news. The turtle had died. To try to placate him, she says, "I'll tell you what. Why don't we invite all your friends over, we'll bury the turtle out back and then we can all go out for ice cream afterwards?" He agrees, then looks down and the turtle is poking his head out. The mom says, "Look, he's still alive!" The kid goes, "Let's kill him!"

POPS(Sad Update) Black Fox Found Dead Kevin Hehir, 48, from Ribbleton in Preston, spotted the animal on September 8 while he was out walking and managed to take pictures and record footage. He said: "What a shame. At the time it looked weary and like it was on its last legs. I'm pleased that I managed to get a picture of it." Like other black animals, the black fox is said to be linked to doom and disaster and the sighting provoked much reaction from readers. However, the farmer added: "Far from being unlucky for me, it brought the sunshine and dry weather for the harvest." Black foxes can often be seen in Europe and North America but are not thought to be native to the UK. David Dunlop, Lancashire Wildlife Trust conservation officer, said: "I imagine it's probably the same one because it's very rare. "I'm assuming it had been ill like a lot of animals in the wild." >> Black fox spotted for first time (with video)

POPSIt's Biden You heard it here last folks. The text was sent pretty late, so I was long gone into dreamland. I woke up, turned on CNN, and caught the news. It wasn't much of a shock. Good choice, bad choice? Dunno. He could've done much worse and I don't think anyone in the running would be any better. There really wasn't a hit it out of the park choice available. Radical Clintonistas won't be happy, but at this point there are about 10 of them. Biden's Wikipedia bio is here . Obama got a lot of coverage out of his text message VP story -- which, let's face it, was a gimmick. But it was a very successful gimmick that sucked up all the oxygen in the newsroom for the past few days. Score one for Obama in the media war. The good news for me is that this frees up one of my dream cabinet members -- Bill Richardson for Secretary of State. Now, if we can just get people to start talking about Attorney General Russ Feingold, I'll be happy as a god

POPSRotSchwarzGold - Germany's Flag Reinvented In a news story on Saturday reporting on the upcoming semifinal match between Turkey and Germany, the German ARD (Channel 1) news used a wrong image of the German flag, swapping the colours red and black. Apparently the mistake occurred because the editor was distracted by watching the football while creating the background image. My take on it: (a) unlikely story (b) far from offensive, I find it amusing (c) good thing it wasn't any other flag that the Germans misrepresented - that could've had some more crucial repercussions.

POPSVolcano Releases One Trillion Cow Farts Into Atmosphere
"It takes more than a volcano to stop our opposition to the threat presented by industrial production and free markets to the ideas of global government and central planning," said Mr. Pachauri. "If we don't act soon, my children may never be able to chair an intergovernmental panel, control the economy, and distribute production quotas. The hardest hit will be Third-World dictatorships that are contributing disproportionately more money to our members and their families.The stand against economic development and free enterprise has become an urgent global issue - a moral issue if you will - that affects the survival of all endangered intergovernmental agencies." A separate chapter calls for a volcano tax on the worst offenders starting with Chile - with a footnote explaining that if the Chileans hadn't disposed of the Marxist regime of Salvatore Allende in 1971, the whole issue could've been avoided because they wouldn't be anywhere near the list of developed nations today.

POPSLazy Idiot Grounhog sleeps in!
This was the easiest job I ever had. One day a year—one day—where all I have to do is look in the direction of my shadow, and I fuck it up. Way to go, Phil, way to go! Another one of your classic moves. Five measly minutes of work and I could've gone back to bed until April, but no. No, that would've been too easy for Mister Fucking Punxsatawney National Icon With His Own Holiday Phil. The elders of the Punxsatawney Circle are going to be so freaking pissed. They're nice and everything but they take this tourism stuff crazy seriously, and they'll never stand for this bullshit. I'll never be able to show my face around Gobbler's Knob again. Damn! I'm such an idiot! Idiot, idiot, idiot! Phil? Phil, you need to think of something quick. So relax. Uh, just try and breathe. Okay, what are you supposed to do? Inhale and exhale. In, out. You know what? I just need to calmly make a list of the things I need to do. Then I will do each of the things on the list. As I do each item I will

POPSPet Peeve time.... I admit, as a 15/16 year old, I sounded like the makeup artist in the example below. Occasionally I catch myself saying it and want to wash my mouth out. I cringe when I'm listening to people talk when they have 'like' as every second word. I have to literally bite my tongue to stop myself from saying anything about it.

POPSReport: African conflict draining Billions All the things they should have done with the money. The report seems like a clear indication of what should have been done. What a Joke. They are given Money from the World Bank, Threatened, and then introduced to an arms dealer. Just look at who are the biggest arms dealers are and the way selling to both sides is business. If they keep the locals wiping themselves out, there is a fortune in gems minerals and stones, that will need protecting. Sorry, most of that belongs to De Beers

POPSSome of my Twitter posts So after watching Jericho, I had some feelings that I thought I'd express. I could've posted a blog entry with my thoughts, but I didn't want to compose a whole essay about my feelings. I really just wanted to blow off a little bit of steam by posting a couple of quick messages. So I expressed myself through Twitter. I also clipped the posts to commemorate the moment.
