It’s dark this Monday, but here’s Art

Ok, this doesn’t make too much sense to me, although I admit that it is early. A 25 year old guy, after escaping from his jail, got out, presumably stole 14 packs of cigarettes and then got caught trying to sneak back in to his jail? I mean, what? The guy was out already? I guess a life on the lamb wasn’t his thing… but what additional sentence do you give a guy trying to get back to jail? Wonder if this has happened before in the history of jaildom. Also, is that the right spelling of lamb in this context? How did that phrase come around?

In other stupid man news, a twenty year old tourist at the Great Wall decided he’d take a short cut – jumping off the wall directly into the Badaling Wildlife World. Of course, he’d seen signs about predatory animals, just didn’t believe them – I mean, who would? These damn governments love nothing more than to put up fake animal warning signs, you know? Like that lady next door with the “beware of dog” sign, even though you know she’s only got a dachsund and an angora rabbit. Right? Unfortunately, in this unusual case, the government was not lieing and the guy literally jumped into the open mouth of a Siberian tiger who promptly chowed down. His two buddies, having not yet jumped, decided not to and immediately ran to the police.

Lastly I want to talk about a hero. It’s not often a teacher gets to be a real hero, in my book, but in this case a head teacher (does that mean Principal in American??) is trying to get schools to open at 11am giving kids an extra two hours of sleep! They should elect this man king of England! I mean, hell yeah, apparently there’s some kinda science that says that teenagers do better with more sleep. So definitely, I agree that starting later should happen. I mean – they should do that for work, too. It’s the only civilized way to live.
